Administrative history | The Acts of 1789 (29 George III cap. 58), 1791 (31 George III cap. 30, s. 53), 1821 (1 & 2 George IV cap. 87, s.19) and 1827 (7 & 8 George IV cap. 58), continued regulations under earlier Acts for regulating corn imports and exports. The Acts provided that corn dealers, maltsters and millers were liable for a fine if they bought corn for sale, unless within one month of starting to trade they filed with the Clerk of the Peace a declaration that their returns of prices would be true. The Act of 1789 also provided for the return of corn prices from certain market towns by corn inspectors. |
