similar with the Scotch. I subjoin one or two of the clauses of the
English treaty:—
“ Etiam quod ipsi mercatores et legii Regis Angliae possint et
valeant omnes terras loca et tenementa sua ... in civitatibus Bur-
gensi in Norwegia, Lundensi, et Landscrona in Scania . . . libere
habere et tenere sibi, heredibus et assignatis in perpetuum. Item
quod mercatores . . . personas certas, sufficientes et idoneas in gu-
bernatores seu oldermannos inter se ad eorum libitum eligere et ob-
tinere valeant ita quod gubernatores hujusmodi . . . partem habeant
et auctoritatem statuta condendi, omnesque et singulos mercatores
Anglicos et alios quoscunque de Anglia . . . regendi et gubernandi,”
&c., p. 384. “ Item quod mercatores de Anglia ... in civitatibus,
oppidis sive villis per nos assignatis, videlicet civitate Haffniensi,
Malmogensi, Landzskrone possint et valeant suos negotiatores et fau-
tores ordinare et deputare, qui possint commodum et utilitatem alior-
um mercatorum de Anglia in locis praedictis non existentium procu¬
rare pannos integros vel medios vel cum divisione ulnas vendere et
libere permutare,” &c., p. 385.
