A short entry from the Historical Chronicle of the Gentleman's Magazine reporting that London journeyman weavers, suffering from lack of work, petitioned the Weavers Company to enforce laws banning East India silks, chintz and printed calicoes. It gives the penalties for wearing or selling such goods and reproduces a Weavers Hall advertisement offering help to buyers of printed calico gowns in recovering their money from the seller.
