Cites royal letter of 16 June 1671. A patent under Great
Seal of Ireland was granted to Sir George Hamilton and
Capt. James Roch on 14 Jan., 16 Chas. II [1664-5] for
thirty-one years at a rent of 20 marks for an office for
licensing pedlars, petty chapmen, or gray merchants. As
this has not been carried into effect, it is now to be enforced.
Rates to be laid down, and magistrates ordered to assist.
Every pedlar is therefore to pay 20s. yearly as licence, from
the date of this proclamation, to the patentees. All magis¬
trates, &c., to take notice and assist.
