London.
The Highways and Streets about London, being
much impared by excessive
carriages, the Court made
several Orders for Redress, which
were fit to be put in execution,
viz.
|
Ord. 15.
Jan. 15 Jac.
lib. Sep.
pa. Mi. |
|
' WHereas since his Majesties late Proclamation
against Carriages and
' Waggons that bring great loads to the City of London, from
many parts of this Kingdom with above five Horses in a Team, to the
decay of His Majesties High-ways, many have notwithstanding by subtilty
' instead of Horses, drawn their said load with Oxen and Horses above
the
' said number, thinking thereby to avoid the danger. It is now
ordered and
' so determined, That from henceforth three Oxen shall be taken in
the case
' for two Horses, and four Oxen for three Horses, and so after the
rate. |
|
|
' And afterwards in the late Kings time it was ordered,
That all Waggons
' and Waggoners be prohibited to travel to London with four
Wheels
' in their Waggons, and every Offender therein to be convented before
the
' next Justice of Peace. |
