Clothiers of the North Parts trading to London and also of Wales, Devonshire and Somerset to the Privy Council.
[c. 1614]. Through the late arrest made by the French King of all English cloth in his dominions, the merchants of London have been barred from their trading there, and petitioners have no vent for their cloths. The principal cause is by the staplers and others, who not only transport wools in great abundance into France, but buy wools upon the sheeps' backs so that petitioners cannot get sufficient wool under an excessive rate, which has risen from 16s the tod to 28s. They pray that the staplers and others be forbidden to transport wools to France.—Undated.
