Bread Prices Debate and Local Theft Conviction at Mansion House
Tuesday a Committee of Aldermen met at the Mansion House to address bread price rises driven by exports. They resolved to petition the Privy Council to halt the measure temporarily. A baker was convicted for selling light bread and fined seven guineas. The Lord Mayor urged ward inquests to check underweight loaves and warned harsher penalties for future offenses. A porter realtedly robbed a linen-draper and was committed for trial. Market price comparisons show beef, mutton soaring in London, with bread-corn dear in England but cheaper abroad. Hides and skins fall, lamb scarce.
