Plan to curb price of meat at Smithfield market
Francis Goodinge appeals to royal authority in a plan published December 17 1764 to curb hoarding and forestalling by carcase butchers and retailers. He urges fixed market times and a strict certificate system, with tolls and fines to enforce fair pricing and prevent monopolies, aiming to stabilize meat costs for workers. The proposal requests an official office at the market and a bell regulated schedule to curb illicit buying before retailers can set prices.
