The prohibitory Clause of the Statute 5th. Eliz. Chas. 4th. Sect. 31st.

extends only to those Trades that were in Existence at the Time

of that Statute i.e. in 1562 in all the Proceedings that I have

construction against the Plls and to a favorable and large Constructn.

lb

date and upon this point much would depend upon the

Evidence of Usage The general Trade of a Barber is without
<
lb

</
lb

doubt within the Meaning of the Statute
