It was ordered that the customs on all goods entering the City by land or sea should be entered in a book in the Pentice office, with the name of the merchant, "his addition and place where hee liveth", according to ancient custom, and that the Leavelookers should not compound with merchants for goods until these entries had been made.
(ZA/B/2/99v). It was ordered that part of the stone conduit near the High Cross should be taken down and the lead cistern removed and disposed of for the use of the City, and that the conduit should be converted into a shop for the City's profit.
