MIW   blazon or coat of arms By the Major.  
A Proclamation for the bringing into the Port of London, any manner of fewell.  
THE Lord Maior and Aldermen his Brethren, having taken into their serious consideration, the great scarcity and want of Fewell, for the necessary and needful use of this City, and Liberties thereof. And finding it a very hard and difficult matter to supply the same in these troublesome times, by reason that Newcastle from whence this City was formerly stored, is blocked up. The Lord Maior with the advice of his said Brethren, the Aldermen, to give encouragement to all those that shall out of their good affection and charity towards this City, adventure to bring seacoals, Pitcoales, or any other manner of Fewell from any part of this kingdom, into the Port of London, for the use and benefit of the Inhabitants thereof, and parts adjacent; especially of the poor and needy, which heretofore were yearly provided for by the provident care of this City, from Newcastle. Hath thought fit hereby to publish and declare, that such persons shall have free leave and liberty, at their pleasure to vend and put to sail within this City and Liberties thereof, whatsoever fuel they shall bring hither, for the use and purpose aforesaid, and shall be accounted men well affected to this City: And their doings and actions herein, shall be taken as a very acceptable service to this City, and not to be forgotten.  
Dated at the Guildhall, London, this 27 day of June, 1644.
