"An Act 22 Chas. II enacts that after 28 June 1670 rates should be paid for the custom of imported foreign grain according to the price in England. By 1 Jas. II the justices at Quarter Sessions are to certify the price of middling English grain twice a year, by the oaths of two substantial persons, to the chief collector of customs. Great care is to be had that the prices are the common market prices and not unduly enhanced ones in a small market. Provision made for the city of London." -- Steele.
