A PROCLAMATION Touching the Transportation of Corn.

CHARLES R.

THe Kings most Excellent Majesty taking into His Princely Consideration, That now after the late interruption of Foreign Commerce and Trade, the Transportation of Corn may be a publick good and advantage to His People, hath thought fit (with the Advice of His Privy Council) to Publish and Declare, and doth hereby Publish and Declare, That by the late Act of Parliament for the Encouragement of Trade, It is (among other things) Enacted, That from and after the First day of September, which was in the year of our Lord 1663 and from thence forward, when the Prices of Corn and Grain, Winchester Measure, do not exceed the Rates hereafter following, at the Havens or places where the same shall be Shipped or Laden, (viz.) The Quarter of Wheat Eight and fourty shillings, the Quarter of Barley or Mault Eight and twenty shillings, the Quarter of Oats Thirteen shillings and four pence, the Quarter of Rye Two and thirty shillings, the Quarter of Pease or Beans Two and thirty shillings, currant English money; That then it shall be lawful for all and every person and persons to Ship, Load, Carry and Transport any of the said Corns or Grains from the Havens or places where they shall be of such Prices, unto any parts beyond the Seas, as Merchandise; Any Law, Statute, or Vsage to the contrary notwithstanding, paying such Rates for the same, and none other, as are to be paid when the same might have been Transported by the late Act of Parliament, Entituled, A Subsidy granted to the King of Tonnage and Poundage. And whereas His Majesty is informed, That none of the said sorts of Corn or Grain do hear, or are risen to the Prices in the said Act for Encouragement of Trade mentioned, so that the same may be Transported by vertue thereof; Yet nevertheless, for prevention of all questions that may arise touching the uncertainty of Prices, and in respect the Prices which are now low, and under those mentioned in the Act, may rise, by reason of the Liberty of Transportation, which otherways would not be so high: His Majesty is graciously pleased to give, and hereby doth give full Liberty and Licence to all and every person and persons whatsoever, from henceforward, to Ship, Load, Carry and Transport out of this Realm of England, Dominion of Wales, and Town or Port of Berwick upon Tweed, into any the parts beyond the Seas, all or any of the said sorts of Corn or Grain, whatsoever the Prices thereof are or shall be, without any molestation or trouble, or incurring any Penalty or Forfeiture, paying such Customs and Duties onely, and no other, as should be paid when the same may be Transported by the said Act of Tonnage and Poundage. Wherefore His Majesty doth hereby Will, and strictly Require the Farmers of His Customs, and other Officers, Ministers and Subjects whatsoever whom the same may concern, to take notice of this His Royal Proclamation, and give all due obedience thereunto, at their perils. Provided, and His Majesties Pleasure is, That this Proclamation shall continue onely for the space of Three Kalendar Moneths from the date hereof, and no longer.

Given at Our Court at Whitehall, the Eleventh day of September, 1667.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
