2 That they buy no manner of grain but with their own stocks, and that they do afford of the same Corn weekly to the use of the poor of the same town such a proportion as the said officer shall appoint viᵈ in a bushel better cheap than the said Badger bona fide paid for the same.  
3 That the justices of peace of every division do cause a view to be taken of every man's store of Corn and Graine, both justices as others aswell in their barns as elsewhere, and upon such view taken to apportion weekly so much thereof, as shall be carried to the Markets to be sold, and where, and no more Barley to be converted into Malt then shall be likewise by them appointed.  
4 That all Licences shall be revoked at the pleasure of any two justices of peace of the said County.

And because the penalties of Inmates by the law are due unto the Lord of every Leet, it is therefore ordered that every Lord of such leete that shall suffer any Inmate to come into his Manor there to inhabit contrary to the law, shall free and discharge the parish of any charge that may happen unto it by reason of such Inmates.

And further, we the said justices do agree to take information of these things within our several divisions once in every month,
