Reading edition
Cf. App. C, s.vv. Gosson (1582), 215; Cox (1591); App. D, No. lxxv (2) (b). An Act of 1552 (5 & 6 Edw. VI, c. 21) required every travelling 'Pedler, Tynker, or Pety Chapman' to have a licence from two justices of the shire in which he resided (Statutes, iv. 155). This was merged in the Act of 1572 (App. D, No. xxiv), but not formally repealed until 1 Jac. I, c. 25, in 1604 (Statutes, iv. 1052).
