For relishes, there were anchovies 8_d._ per lb., neats' tongues and York hams 6_d._ per lb.; but salt was somewhat dear. The home manufacture did not supply the whole demand, as now, and it was imported both from Portugal and France. Still, it was made at home. 'Whereas it hath been reported, that there was not a sufficient quantity of Salt made at Shirley wich, in the county of Stafford, to supply the customers that came for it. This is to give notice, that with the Additional Works, there is now twice the quantity made out of the new Pit, much better and stronger than was formerly.'[265] [Footnote 265: _Postman_, June 9/12, 1705.] Bread, as usual, was made the subject of legislation, and the following proclamation was issued:-- 'London May 3.
