WHEREAS We are informed that several private persons , by forestalling the Markets and other undue ways , have of late bought great quantities of Wheat and Oats , which they have put up in Granaries and other places , with an intention to sell them at excessive rates , and so to gain to themselves unreasonable profit ; which actings of theirs are not only contrary to Law , but have occasioned those sorts of Grain to grow very dear , whereby the Souldiers of Our Army , and the poorest sort of people are like to suffer extremely , if this mischief be not timely prevented : For remedy whereof , We have thought fit , by the Advice of Our Privy Council , to Charge and Command , and We do hereby strictly Charge and Command all persons whatsoever that they or any of them do not at any time hereafter presume to buy any Wheat or Oats , in order to sell the same in kind ; and that such as have bought any great quantities of Wheat or Oats , with an intention to sell the same , or any part thereof , that they do forthwith expose the same to sale ; hereby declaring , that such as have bought such quantities of Wheat or Oats , and will not expose the same to sale as aforesaid , and such as hereafter shall buy any quantities of Wheat or Oats with an intention to sell the same at higher rates , shall be looked upon as Contemners of Our Commands , and Ingrossers and Forestallers of the Markets , and as such shall be prosecuted according to the utmost rigour of the Law . And for the further prevention of the said mischief , We do hereby declare , that such person or persons as shall discover any offence of that nature , so as the Party offending be brought to condign punishment , shall have two parts of three of all Forfeitures and Fines that shall accrew to vs by reason of any such offence : And We do further strictly Charge and Command all Our Iudges , Iustices , Magistrates , Iustices of the Peace , all Sheriffs and other Officers , to take particular care , that the persons who shall transgress in the matters aforesaid , be brought to condign punishment .
