when the state Fixed Hotel Prices.
Before, during and for time after
the Revolutionary war the courts Of
the commonwealth used to fix the
prices of tavern board and liquor, so
when the sojourning stranger: from
afar struck Richmond he could pretty
nearly know what horse feed and
breakfast cost. There was also all
assize Of bread as well as Of drink.
The price Of bread was regulated by
the price Of wheat. A fourpenny white
loaf, a twOpenny white loaf, a four
penny brick loaf and fourpennS
brown loaf had each to weigh so much,
according as they had other fngredi.
ents mixed with -four. In those days
Boston biscuit costing l cent had
to weigh Six ounces and two drains
and so on. The connection between q
loaf Of bread and sixty pounds OF
wheat at so much per bushel has
grown beyond the grasp Of the modern
mind. However, in the old time in
Virginia the custom Of regulating the
price, or, rather, the weight, OF a loaf
Of bread by the price Of the wheat: O.:
which it was made was universal. Sc
far as liquor was concerned, the courts
used to fix not only the price of Sin
