1. _The Franchises._—All foreign dealers their factors and agents to have free liberty under the Royal protection, to resort to these fairs with their goods, provided however that these same goods were designed to be sold or exchanged there; or failing this were to be removed within the appointed time for the duration of the fair. They were exempted from all dues, impositions, &c., according to the good and ancient usages, customs, and liberties of the said fairs. No favours or letters of respite might be granted against the said dealers, or the customs and liberties of the said fairs—all such, if obtained, being null. No dealers resorting to or returning from, should be stopped or molested, without special warrant from the wardens of the conservation, and for obligations made truly and really in the fair. 2. _Wardens of the Privileges._—These were judges appointed during the fair, to see that the franchises were preserved, and to take cognizance of contests that might arise between traders there. Every fair was to have two wardens, one chancellor to keep the seal, two lieutenants, forty notaries, and 100 serjeants. The wardens and chancellors were sworn in the Chamber of Accounts, Paris, _where they were yearly to make their report of the state of the fairs_. No judgment might be given during the fair but by the two wardens, or when one was unavoidably absent, by one warden and the chancellor. 3. _How goods were to be brought within the franchise._—The drapers and traders of the seventeen cities of Champagne and Brie frequenting the fairs—that is to say those of the cities in which one of these seventeen fairs was held—might not sell their cloths or other stuffs, wholesale or retail, within or without the kingdom, _unless first sent to one of the fairs and exposed for sale from the first day appointed for the sale of cloth until the sixth following_, on pain of forfeiture; they being, however, at liberty to dispose of them as they pleased, if not sold in that time. Farmers, curriers, &c., must bring their leather to the fair, and expose it all together from the first of the three days, without reserving any for the last days, _or selling in any other place than that designed for the sale of leather_. Horse-dealers, both subjects and foreigners, must have their stables in the said fairs from the third day of the cloths (_i.e._ fixed for the sale of cloth) until the fair ended. In like manner all other wares brought into the fair were to remain on sale, some for six days, others for three days only, according to their nature and quality.
