Sir John Laurence Maior, the Import whereof was, That the Right of ordering and disposing of Cars, Carts, Caroons, Carters and Carmen, and all other Persons working any Carts or Cars within the City of London and Liberties, is and hath been in the Maior, Commonalty and Citizens: And accordingly the Government of the said Cars, Carts, &c. hath been from time to time, by several Acts of Common Council, disposed and committed, sometime to the President and Governor of Christ's Hospital; and at other times to the Master, Wardens and Fellowship of Woodmongers, London: And in the Year 1658. to the late President and Governors of the Poor of the said City: And last of all, it was committed again to the Master and Wardens of the Fellowship of Woodmongers, by Act of Common Council made 1661. in the Maioralty of Sir Richard Brown [who was a Woodmonger.] But hereupon divers Complaints were made of many Inconveniences and Grievances brought upon the Citizens and Inhabitants of London and the Liberties; as in raising the Price, and using Deceit in the Weight and Measure of Coals, by means and pretence of the Privileges and Power granted by this Act of Common Council. Therefore that Act made to the Woodmongers was repealed.

Any Person presuming to work any Car, Cart, &c. not being allowed, for every time so offending to forfeit 40s.

Not any Car, Cart, &c. to be permitted to a Wharf, Wharfinger or Woodmonger, or to be kept by them, after the first day of August next, but by License of Christ's Hospital, upon penalty of 40s.

Such as have Carroons, not to let them out for Hire without the Approbation and Allowance of the President and Governors of Christ's Hospital.

None to be admitted to work any Car, but such as shall be found of civil Carriage, and able and meet for that Employment, upon pain of 10s. a day.
