London City Companies Preserve Peculiar Tights Exercise
London city companies retain odd powers such as the right of vintners to sell foreign wine and spirits without a license while many free vintners remain outside official control. The Fishmongers and Cordwainers formerly taxed trades and goods. Parliament later ended some duties, though authorities still claim historic prerogatives. The article cites St James Gazette noting these lingering powers and their limited current reach.
