At a BOARD of POLICE,
Thursday, 21st March, 1782.
THE Board taking into consideration the present enormous
high price of bread, find, that the middle price of flour, at
present, is thirty-five shillings per hundred weight, and upon exami
nation of some of the bakersit appears, that one hundred weight of
flour, when wrought up, will produce one hundred and twenty-eight
pounds of bread, and that the lhilliug loaf now weighs about two
pounds; from whence it follows that out of one hundred weight of
flour, of the value of one pound fifteen shillings, the baker receives
one hundred and twenty-eight fix pences, or three pound four (hil
lings, which is a profit of near eighty-three per cent. For remedy
whereof, IT IS ORDERED, that hereafter, all bread baked in
Charleftown, shall be made in loaves of either one or two pounds
weight, and that the prices of fucli loaves shall depend upon the
current price of flour; that is to fay, whilst flour is at the present
price of one pound fifteen {hillings sterling per hundred weight, which
is hbottt four pence farthings per pound, the. .pound ;<>af flu:lbe fold
for Four Pence kartbing, and tne two pounds loaf for Bigut Pence
Halfpenny; and as flour from time to time rises or falls two' (hillings,
and one penny in tie hundred, one farthing shall be added to or
deducted from the price of the pound loaf, and one half-perfhy (hall
be added to or deduced from the price of the two pounds loaf, agree
able to, such rife or fall;' and that every baker fluid make his bread of
good and whclfome flour, and shall put the initial letters of his name
upon every loaf he shall make; and that every baker making bread
of bao or unwholfome flour, or deficient in the weight, or without
marking thflhme as aforefaid; and every person exposing fnch bread
to friefor taking more for the fame than the prices above-mentioned,
shall not only forfeit the said bread, but. shall also be liable to a fine
of five pounds Serling for the firft offence; and for the second offence
to the fanm forfeiture, and also to a further fine of ten pounds fcr-
Jing; and f r rhe third offence, shall from thenceforward be rendered
incapable of carrying on the baking business in Charleftown. And
all Justices of the Peace are hereby required to examine into the above
offences, and where any person or persons shall be convi&ed as afore
faid,,' before any Justice of the' Peace on the information of one or
more credible person or persons upon oath, fnch Justice of the Peace
