ACT Discharging the vending of any Goods brought from England , till they abide their fourty dayes Tryal . Edinburgh , the second day of March , one thousand six hundred and sixty six .

THe Lords of His Majesties Privy Council considering , that albeit it hath pleased the Almighty GOD to abate the violence of the Plague of Pestilence at London , and other places infected in the Kingdom of England ; Yet there is great reason to fear and apprehend , that this Kingdom may be in danger , by suffering a free Commerce and Trade to all persons , and permitting them to vend their Commodities before tryal ; seing , by sad experience , it hath been found , that the Infection may lurk for a long time in Merchant Wares and Commodities , and after handling thereof will break out again , to the great prejudice of the people and places where they are brought . Therefore , they , by these presents , discharge all Merchants , Traffickers or other persons whatsoever , who shall bring any Wares or Commodities from England , either by Sea in Ships and Vessels , or by Land in Packs and other Carriages into this Kingdom , to unload the saids Vessels , or open the saids Packs and Carriages , untill first they acquaint the Sheriffs , Iustices of Peace , Magistrates of Burghs , or others His Majesties Officers of these Shires and Burghs where they shall happen first to come , where they did loaden their Goods ; and that they receive orders for their fourty dayes tryal , and in what places they shall handle their Wares and Commodities during that time , conform to , and under the pains contained in , a former Act of Council , dated the twelfth of July last : And commands and charges all the saids Sheriffs , Iustices of Peace , Magistrates of Burghs , and others His Majesties Officers within their respective bounds , to meet and conveen , and give order for such Guards , Watches , Overseers , Houses and Places , as they shall think most convenient for putting of this Act in execution , and for doing every other thing that shall be necessar for that effect : With certi●ication , if they fallȝie , they shall be punished in their Persons and Goods to the terror of ot●●rs . And ordains these presents to stand in force till the first of June next , and longer , during the Councils pleasure ; And that the same be printed , and published at the Mercat-cross of Edinburgh , Peer and Shoar of Lieth , and other places needfull , that none pretend ignorance .
