WHereas the Carriers between the University of Oxford , and the City of London , to the great Prejudice of the Members of the said University , and Others , have for divers years last past exacted what Rates they pleased for the Carriage of Goods and Letters , ( and have aggravated this their Unreasonable Practice by requiring greater Summes from Scholars , then Towns-men ) contrary to the Charters , and Antient Priviledges of the said University , and to the Orders fast prescribed to them in the year 1666.

For the Prevention of these , and other Abuses and Irregularities for the future , It is therefore now Ordered , That henceforth They , their Servants , and Porters , shall demand , or receive no greater Rates then such as are hereafter expressed : I. For the Carriage of One Hundred Weight of Goods , from the Feast of All Saints to the Feast of Annuntiation , or Lady-day , Four Shillings . And for the rest of the Year , Three Shillings and Six Pence . II. For the Carriage of any Person by Waggon , Four Shillings . III. For the Carriage of the Greatest Parcel ( all being to be esteemed Parcels under one quarter of an Hundred Weight ) One Shilling : and so less in proportion for those that are less ; except that for the Carriage of a single Hat and Case , Nine Pence . IV. For the Carriage of any Burden , not exceeding one Hundred Weight , nor less than one quarter of a Hundred Weight , from the Shop or Warehouse where the Goods were unladen , unto the Owners Habitation , or Shop , Three Pence : and for a Parcel , One Penny . V. All Letters directed to Scholars shall be left at the Butteries of their respective Colleges or Halls ; and , for the delivery of every such Letter , shall be given onely one Half-penny Loaf , as was accustomed . But if any Carriage comes with a Letter , nothing shall be given for the bringing of that Letter . VI. Moreover , It is hereby strictly Ordered , That all ordinary Stage-Coaches travelling between the said University and City of London in Two Days , shall respectively set forth from Oxford , at , or before the Hour of Nine in the Morning by St. Mary's Clock : and shall in like manner set forth from London , so as to pass by St. Giles's Church in the Suburbs , at or before the same Hour , by the Clock of the said Church : And in all other Points , the Carriers are to take care , that Passengers be conveyed to their respective Stages , safe , and in Seasonable Time .

If any thing , contrary to the fore-mentioned Orders , shall be hereafter practised by any of the said Carriers , let the Offenders expect to undergo due Punishment ; and also to make Satisfaction to the Party injured , according to Right and Justice .

And that all Persons concerned ( whether Inhabitants in Oxford , or elsewhere ) may be better advised of the Contents hereof , it is required , That the respective Carriers do Openly and Publickly in their Common Ware-Houses , within the said University of Oxford , and City of London , paste up Printed Copies of these Presents ; and from time to time renew the same , if by any means they shall happen to be defaced or removed .

Carriage by Water is to be estimated after the Rate of One Shilling for every Hundred Weight .

Oxon. Decemb. 4. 1674. RA. BATHVRST , Vice-Chancellor .
