King IAMES the second, Parliament 9:
THis Act discharging the keeping of old Stacks of Corn; and the next Act discharging the Girnaling of Corn, seem to have been Temporary, and the Justices have refus'd to sustain Dittay upon either.
THis Act discharging the keeping up of more Victual than will serve a mans Family for a Quarter of a Year, and that they shall present the superplus to the Mercat within nine Dayes, seems likewise to have been but Temporary, because of the scarcity that then was; and at any time of scarcity, the Magistrates of any Burgh Royal are in use, and may lawfully (as some think) break up the Doors of Victual-houses, within Burgh, and ordain the Victual to be sold at competent rates; if the Merchants be either unwilling, or absent; but if the Privy Council be sitting, it is safer to make ap∣plication to them.
