Corn Prices and Grain Law Proposals in Parliament
The author argues Parliament passed a law to curb high corn prices by restricting distillery use and permitting foreign imports, but avarice by dealers kept prices high. Proposals include a public grain register, enforcement of Engrossing laws, ending sample-jobbing, a legal open market in London, sale of grain by weight, limits on millers grinding grain, and public mills on the Thames.
