A single-sheet English broadside of 1691 presenting the case of clothiers, weavers, hosiers, drapers, mercers and other woollen dealers against the Office of Aulnage. It argues that the aulnagers' cloth measuring, searching and sealing is obsolete and oppressive, cites farmers' accounts and the rent paid to the Duchess of Richmond, and supports a bill to move collection of the duty to the Customhouse for exported manufactures only.
