WHEREAS divers Persons, influenced by a desire of inordinate
gain, have been guilty of engrossing and foreftalling all
kinds of Victuals and Provisions in this Town, whereby the prices
thereof are excessively enhanced, and other great and criminal abuses
have been committed in the markets, to the manifeft injury of the
inhabitants, particularly those in indigent circumstances: For pre
vention whereof in future,
IT IS ORDERED,
Ift. That all frefh meats, visuals and provisions of every kind,
(fifli excepted) shall be openly fold in one or other of the publick
Markets, and no where else in Charleftown, or within a mile there
of, on penalty of forfeiture, one moiety to the informer, and the
other for the benefit of the poor in the said town.
2d. That no person fliall presume to fell any frefh meats, victuals,
or provisions, (fifh excepted) in either of the said markets before
fun rife : And the said markets Ihall continue open until eleven
o'clock in the forenoon, (excepting on Saturday) after which hour
all provisions of every kind, excepting as above, disposed of or of
fered for falc; fliall be liable to forfeiture ; one moiety thereof to
the informer, and the other for the benefit of the poor of the find
town.
3d. That no soldier, either British or German, or their wives, or
any other person belonging to, or following the Army, or dependent
thereon, fliall; on any pretence, buy any victuals or provisions, un-
Icfs for their own consumption ; nor fliall any person holding or en
joying any office or place of trust or emolument under his Majesty,
purchase any cattle, calves, sheep, hogs, poultry, or other victuals
or provisions, unless for his Majesty's service, or their private use,
on pain of forfeiture ; one moiety thereof to the informer, and the
other moiety for the benefit of the poor of the said town : Nor fliall
any of the inhabitants thereof be permitted to buy any kind of
victuals or provisions in or coming to the said markets, to fell again,
on any account, under the like forfeiture, to be applied as above :
Provided nevertheless, that nothing herein contained, fliall be
construed to extend to retrain those exercising the trade or occupa
tion of a Butcher from fending their agents into the country, to pur
chase live cattle, calves, sheep or hogs, for the better and more
plentifully supplying the said markets with provisions.
4th. That no negro or orher Have, living in town, fliail be per
mitted to buy or fell vi&uals or provisions of any kind for the use of
his or her master or employer, without a ticket in writing for that
purpose, from his or her said master or employer : Nor shall per
sons residing in the country fqffer their negro or other slaves, to fell
the produce of their plantations in the said markets without such a
licence or authority, fpecifying the nature and quantity of the articles
sent under their care and direction, and observing the foregoing Re
gulations, on pain of forfeiture, to be applied as above.
sth. That the Clerk of the Market, once in every month at least,
shall examine the weights and ineafures made use of in the said
markets, and seize to his own benefit all such as he shall find deficient
by the Standard of the Exchequer.
6th. That all and every person and persons exercising the trade or
occupation of,a Butcher in Charleftown, shall be obliged, within
twenty days from the date hereof, to take out a licence for that pur
pose from the Commissioners of the Markets, and enter into bond
in the penalty of One Hundred Pounds Sterling, with one fufficient
security unto the said Commissioners, conditioned for the due and
faithful observance of these Regulations on their parts : And ail frefh
meats, victuals and provisions fold or exposed for sale, by any such
person or persons without entering into bond, and obtaining such
licence as above, shall be forfeited, one moiety to the informer, and
the other moiety thereof for the use of the poor in Charleftown.
7th. That the Commissioners and Clerk of the Market, as well
as Justices of the Peace and Constables in Charleftown, and other
the inhabitants thereof, be as active as possible in promoting the due
and faithful observance of these Regulations, and detecting offenders:
And to prevent any contention between the inhabitants and military,
two orderly Serjeants, one British and one Hellian, will daily attend
the Commissioners of the Markets in their superintendency thereof,
until these Regulations and good order are effectually established
therein; which Serjeants afe to be paid for such service, out of the
money arising from the hire of the stalls in the said market, or any
other money in the hands of the Commissioners.
Bth. And Whereas the penalties and forfeitures herein before
inflicted, may not be fufficient to reflrain the lawless and avaritious
pursuits of those who have made a practice of committing the crimi
nal abuses alluded to in the said markets : In order therefore effe&ually
to enforce the due observance of these Regulations, it is resolved,
That if any person belonging to the military be guilty of transgressing
the fame, such person shall be tried and punished by the sen
tence of a Court Martial, as for a brench of orders; —And if any
inhabitant, or other person, shall violate the, said Regulations, or
enter into any combination or conspiracy to defeat or in
validate the fame, or to enhance the price of any of the victuals,
provisions, or commodities usually offered sos sale in the said markets;
such inhabitant or other person fliall be immediately sent on board
the prifon-fliip, and expelled the Province, as soon as an opportunity
offers for that purpose.
