Law -- England -- History
Also - that no one of the trade shall keep house within the franchise if
he be not free [invested with the rights or privileges] of the city and
one knowing his trade, and that no one shall be admitted to the freedom
without the presence of the wardens of the trade bearing witness to his
standing, on the pain aforesaid.
Also - if any one of the trade shall be found offending touching the
trade, or rebellious against the wardens thereof, such person shall not
make complaint to any one of another trade, by reason of the discord or
dissension that may have arisen between them; but he shall be ruled by
the good folks of his own trade. And if he shall differ from them as
acting against right, then let the offense be adjudged upon before the
mayor and aldermen; and if he be found rebellious against the ordinance,
let him pay to the Chamber the sum above mentioned.
Also - that no one of the trade shall entice or purloin the servant of
another from the service of his master by paying him more than is
ordained by the trade, on the pain aforesaid.
Also - that no one shall carry out of his house any wares connected with
his trade for sale in market or elsewhere except only at a certain place
situated between Soperesland and the Conduit; and that at a certain time
of the day, that is to say, between prime [the first hour of the day]
and noon. And that no shoes shall exceed the measure of seven inches, so
that the wares may be surveyed by the good folks of the trade, because
of the deceit upon the common people that might ensue and the scandal of
the trade, on the pain aforesaid.
Also - that no one shall expose his wares openly for sale in market on
Sundays at any place, but only within his own dwelling to serve the
common people, on the pain aforesaid.
Also - that if any one sells old shoes, he shall not mix new shoes among
the old in deceit of the common people and to the scandal of the trade,
on the pain aforesaid."
