TitleThe Grand Jury of Hunts, assembled at the Summer Assizes, 1818, condamned the revival of the practice of dealing in corn at the markets inand adjacent to the county by a measure larger than the standard Minchester bushel. The practice was injurious since by giving an additional but false value to the Bushel of Grain, at raises the price of Bread against the whole Community (the working classes being particularly affected) and by enhancing the returns of the averagee of corn in the Gazette, opens the ports in favor of the foreign Grower of Corn. It was illegal, being prohibited by divers statutes. The Foreman requested that the co-operation of the magistrates of this and adjacent counties be invited to enforce the law.
