All Merchants, or others, may chuse what Carr they please, except such as stand for Wharf-work, Tackle-work, Crane-work, Shop and Merchants Houses, which are to be taken in turn.
Every Carr-man standing with his empty Carr next to any Goods to be loaden, shall upon the first de∣mand load the same without bargaining for any o∣ther Wages than the Rates before-mentioned.
If a Merchant, or other person, shall cause a Carr∣man to attend at his House, Shop, Ware-house, or Cellar, with his loaden Carr, above half an hour be∣fore he unloads, (the Carr-man being willing to help unload the same) he shall pay the Carr-man after the rate of Twelve pence for every hour after the first half hour, for his Attendance.
Every Licensed Carr-man is to have a piece of Brass fixed upon his Carr, upon which is to be set a certain Number, which Number (together with the Carr-man's Name) is Registred in a Register kept in Christs Hospital; so that if any Carr-man offends, it is but taking notice of the Number of his Carr, and scarch for that in the said Register, and you will find his Name.
Every Carr-man that shall not conform to these Rules, or Work without a Numbred Piece of Brass fixed on his Carr, may be suspended from his Em∣ployment.
Complaints of the Abuses of Carr-men may be made every Tuesday, at Two of the Clock in the Afternoon, to the Court sitting in Christ-Hospital.
