[742] Badgers, kidders and broggers were all names applied to dealers, especially to dealers in corn and other provisions. By the 5 and 6 Edw. VI. c. 14 badgers and kidders or kyddiers licensed by three justices were exempted from the penalties attached to forestallers and regrators; no one not so licensed might buy corn to sell again. In a statute of Elizabeth (5 Eliz. c. 12) they are again mentioned and the conditions of their license were made more stringent; no one was to be licensed unless he were a resident householder and the licensed dealer had to place security with the Clerk of the Peace that he would not forestall or engross corn. The words "badger" and "kidder" continued to be used in the licenses granted to corndealers as late as the eighteenth century. The word "brogger" does not occur so frequently. Murray states that it is apparently an unexplained corruption of broker, and he quotes Stow's Survey (1754), II. V. XV. "They were called Broggers in a statute of Richard II.--none to be Brocars in any mystery unless chosen by the same mystery." See also 25 Hen. VIII. c. 1, where the word is applied to a seller of meat. Itm what nomber of malte makers, bakers, comen brewers _or tiplers_[743] dwell w^{th}in the said parish and whoe they are _by name and how long they have vsed y^t trade and how much they bake or brew in y^e weke and what other trade they have wherby otherwise to lyve_. [743] See note, p. 69. Itm. whoe w^{th}in the same parishe be the greate buyers of corne or _do (usually?)_ buye or have bought any corne or grayne to sell agayne or haue sold it agayne _sence Midsomer last_. Itm whoe w^{th}in the same parishe buyeth or haue bought or sold any corne vppon the ground, of whome and to whome hath the same bene bought or sold _and at what pryces_, and to c(er)tefie vnto vs of the premisses & of eu(er)ye parte thereof on the daye of nowe next comynge, and _to every part of these articles you shall bryng answer fro(m) poy(n)t to poynt_[744].... [744] The clause here omitted provides for the punishment of any person who should refuse to give information to the jurors. He was first to be "heavily rebuked"; if he still refused to tell the whole truth he was to be committed to prison; and if he remained obstinate he was to be brought before the Privy Council for further punishment and fine.
