WHEREAS the Fish-Market at Billingsgate , by reason of the dismal Fire and other Accidents , hath for some late years been in much disorder , and yet continues without that due Regulation , which by antient Rules and Provisions it ought to be : Therefore for restoring the same to the former good order and condition , It was now considered and ordered by this Court , That the Fish-Market at Billingsgate shall be kept from the bottom of St. Mary-Hill to Billingsgate-stairs : And that no Fish be sold aboard any Vessel or Boat except Herrings , Sprats , Makrel , and Shell-fish , nor in any other place or Key , then in the said place at Billingsgate , and at Queenhithe , which are the antient places accustomed for that purpose .

And it is further Ordered , That the Bell at Billingsgate shall be henceforth duly rung by the Yeoman at the Water-side , for beginning of the Market there ( that is to say ) from Lady day to Michaelmas at four of the Clock in the morning , and from Michaelmas to Lady day at six of the Clock in the morning . And if any shall presume to buy or sell any sorts of Fish at the said Markets before those hours respectively , and notice thereof given by ringing of the said Bell ( excepting Makrel , Sprats . and Herrings ) such Offender and Offenders shall be proceeded against as Forestallers of the Market , as by the Law in this case is directed and provided .

And it is further Ordered , That no Fish be hereafter landed at other then the common and accustomed Keys and places above-mentioned . Of all which the Yeoman of the Water-side , and under-water Bayliff are to be careful , and vigilant to prevent the contrary , at their utmost perils .

Avery .
