A PROCLAMATION Touching the Transportation of Corn.  
CHARLES R.  
THe King's most Excellent Majesty taking into His Princely Consideration, That now after the late interruption of Foreign Commerce and Trade, the Transportation of Corn may be a public good and advantage to His People, hath thought fit (with the Advice of His Privy Council) to Publish and Declare, and doth hereby Publish and Declare, That by the late Act of Parliament for the Encouragement of Trade, It is (among other things) Enacted, That from and after the First day of September, which was in the year of our Lord 1663. and from thence forward, when the Prices of Corn and Grain, Winchester Measure, do not exceed the Rates hereafter following, at the Havens or places where the same shall be Shipped or Laden, (viz.) The Quarter of Wheat Eight and forty shillings, the Quarter of Barley or Malt Eight and twenty shillings, the Quarter of Oats Thirteen shillings and four pence, the Quarter of Rye Two and thirty shillings, the Quarter of Pease or Beans Two and thirty shillings, currant English money; That then it shall be lawful for all and every person and persons to Ship, Load, Carry and Transport any of the said Corns or Grains from the Havens or places where they shall be of such Prices, unto any parts beyond the Seas, as Merchandise; Any Law, Statute, or Usage to the contrary notwithstanding, paying such Rates for the same, and none other, as are to be paid when the same might have been Transported by the late Act of Parliament, Entitled, A Subsidy granted to the King of Tonnage and Poundage. And whereas His Majesty is informed, That none of the said sorts of Corn or Grain do hear, or are risen to the Prices in the said Act for Encouragement of Trade mentioned, so that the same may be Transported by virtue thereof; Yet nevertheless, for prevention of all questions that may arise touching the uncertainty of Prices, and in respect the Prices which are now low, and under those mentioned in the Act, may rise, by reason of the Liberty of Transportation, which otherways would not be so high: His Majesty is graciously pleased to give, and hereby doth give full Liberty and Licence to all and every person and persons whatsoever, from henceforward, to Ship, Load, Carry and Transport out of this Realm of England, Dominion of Wales, and Town or Port of Berwick upon Tweed, into any the parts beyond the Seas, all or any of the said sorts of Corn or Grain, whatsoever the Prices thereof are or shall be, without any molestation or trouble, or incurring any Penalty or Forfeiture, paying such Customs and Duties only, and no other, as should be paid when the same may be Transported by the said Act of Tonnage and Poundage. Wherefore His Majesty doth hereby Will, and strictly Require the Farmers of His Customs, and other Officers, Ministers and Subjects whatsoever whom the same may concern, to take notice of this His Royal Proclamation, and give all due obedience thereunto, at their perils. Provided, and His Majesty's Pleasure is, That this Proclamation shall continue only for the space of Three Calendar Months from the date hereof, and no longer.  
Given at Our Court at Whitehall, the Eleventh day of September, 1667. 
 GOD SAVE THE KING.
