Oats within the said City.

Sheweth

That lately the common Market Price of midling English

Sum of sixteen Shillings the Quarter the Continuance whereof
your Petitioners apprehend must prove very detrimental to
the City in general and to your Petitioners in Particular

appear, and to prove the same in such manner as by the
Statutes in that behalf is required.

Wherefore your Petitioners most humbly
pray that this Honourable Court will take
their Case into Consideration and proceed to
examine and determine the Common Market
Price of midling English Oats as the same is
now and hath been lately bought and sold
in the Marketts of this City and to certify the
same to his Majesty's Chief Officer and
Collector of the Customs in such manner as by
the Statutes in this behalf is required and
directed.

And your Petitioners shall ever pray Etc.
