<P>WHEREAS it hath been repre&s;ented to Vs in Our Councel, that the Bakers of this Our City of <HI>Dublin,</HI> (who by vertue of their Charter from Vs, do pretend to exclude all &s;uch as are not free of their Fraternity, from exerci&s;ing the Trade of a Baker within the &s;aid City, or the Liberties thereof) have been lately &s;o negligent in ma|king the nece&s;&s;ary provi&s;ion of Bread, that by their contrivance or neglect, Bread grew on a &s;udden &s;o &s;carce in the &s;aid City, that Our Souldiers and other Our Subjects therein have not been &s;ufficiently &s;upplyed, but at very exce&s;&s;ive rates, whereby the &s;aid Bakers became ju&s;tly liable to a forfeiture of their &s;aid Charter, if We had thought fit to take advantage thereof. We have therefore thought fit, by the advice of Our &s;aid Councel, to publi&s;h and make known, that Our Will and Plea&s;ure is, and We do hereby give Li|cen&s;e to all per&s;ons what&s;oever, whether Inhabitants of the &s;aid City, of the Liberties thereof, or of the &s;everal Towns and Counties adjacent, that they and every of them (notwith&s;tanding their being not free of the &s;aid Ci|ty, or of the Corporation of Bakers) &s;hall and may make &s;uch quantities of all &s;orts of Bread, as they and every of them &s;hall think fit, either within the &s;aid <HI>City</HI> and the Liberties thereof, or el&s;ewhere, and bring the &s;ame to the &s;aid <HI>City</HI> and Liberties thereof, where they may expo&s;e the &s;ame to &s;ale, either in open Market, Shop, or otherwi&s;e; Provided the &s;aid Bread be whol&s;ome, and well made. And We do hereby &s;trictly charge and command Our May|ors, Sheriffs, and other Officers of the &s;aid <HI>City,</HI> all the Officers of Our Army, and all other Our Loving Subjects what&s;oever, not to mole&s;t or hin|der any per&s;on or per&s;ons what&s;oever, who &s;hall come with Bread to the &s;aid <HI>City,</HI> nor to pre&s;s or &s;eize upon their hor&s;es, carrs, or truckles, upon any pretence what&s;oever: but on the contrary, to be aiding and a&s;si&s;ting to them as occa&s;ion &s;hall require; and this liberty to continue till Our further Plea|&s;ure be publi&s;hed to the contrary.</P>
