1300, April 1 1* — King Edward afterwards by the advice of his nobles 

 (' procerum') entirely prohibited the currency of pollards and crokards, 

 and all other money not of his own coinage *. He alfo ilTued orders to 

 the magiftrates of all the ports to allow no money, either Englifh or 

 foreign, nor any bullion, to be exported without his own fpecial licence ; 

 and from the orders iifued on this occafion we obtain the following lift

 then under fubjedion to him, viz.

The merchants of Bourdeaux complained to King Edward, that they 

 could neither fell their wines, paying povindage, nor hire houfes or cel- 

 lars to ftore them in. The king thereupon direded a writ to the mayor 

 andftiirrefs of London, in confequence of which many large houfes, with 

 cellars for the ftowage of wine, were ereded on a part of the river's bank, 

 formerly occupied by cooks. The place being called the Vintry, has 



• Wikcs [/>. 127] fays, that the king allowed 

 pollards, crokards, and rofarics, to go for a Iialf- 

 jjcnnic each, before he totally prohibited them. 

 But that rediiftion is not mentioned by Trivet nor 

 Mathcw of Weliminflcr : nor does any fiich rc- 

 duilion appear in the public records till the fccond 

 )-«ar of Edward II. '^MadoK'i H'ljl' c, 9, $ 3.] 



f Hull is not called Ki:ig(lon. The new nan-.e 

 had not yet made its way into all the public of- 

 fices. 



X It is rcafonablc to believe, that "there mufl 

 have been more ports than thofe here mentioned, 

 though the letters fent to them do not appear. — 

 I have given all the names in modern fpelling.
