A one-page English broadside of 1698 setting out the case of makers and wholesale traders of English bone-lace against being treated as hawkers and pedlars under the Act of 8 and 9 William III, ch. 24. It explains the yearly licence fee of 4 l. and the 12 l. penalty, and argues that lace makers and wholesalers with fixed shops and standings in London's Lace-Chambers are exempt. It cites a 1698 House of Commons petition by Edward Hutton and its committee resolution, and notes that a relief bill was pending.
