By Custom the Mayor of this City, time out of mind, hath had and ought to have the cognisance, hearing and determining of all scolds and disordered persons. Rot. 16.

The Master and Company of the Bakers, had made an order among themselves not to give any advantage Bread, or 1 d. on the dozen, and for some days refused to bake any Bread at all, that the Citizens should yield to their order, and that the Mayor should weekly give an Assize pleasing to them, But this Mayor being a very wise Man, and well learned in the Laws (the matter being discoursed and well considered) commanded the said Master and Wardens, and chiefest of the offenders to Ward, where they were kept, ••till they had openly acknowledged their Confederacy, revoked their said Order, and paid their several Fines imposed on them for their said offence.
