Caution to Wool Growers
From the great carelessness and palpable neglect, in the management and winding of Wool by suffering the tails, dags, pitch, and dirt to remain on and be folded up in the insides of the fleeces, it may be supposed that many of the Wool Growers are quite ignorant of the existence of penal Acts of Parliament, for the prevention of such abuse, and of the penalties to which they are liable for the infraction of them.
By the Act of 28 Geo. III Cap. 38, which refers to Acts of 18th of Elizabeth, and 23 Henry VIII, it is enacted, “That no manner of person do wind, or cause to be wound, in any fleece, any sand, tails, deceitful locks, cots, lambs’ wool or any other thing whereby the fleece might be made more weighty, to the deceit and loss of the buyer, upon pain, the seller of any such deceitful wools shall forfeit, for every such fleece, Two Shillings, to be paid to the finder and prover of the same deceit; and the offences shall and may be proceeded upon, heard, and determined by and before any one Justice of the Peace in a summary way.”
After this publice notice, the Woolstaplers of Cirencester, Tetbury and Gloucester, and of the county in general, having been themselves threatened with prosecutions under the aforesaid Acts, for the fleece wool they have resolved to enforce in the several districts, the fair and honest winding of wool, by availing themselves of the provisions of the Acts, for their own protection, in cases which shall henceforward require it; for it been more carelessly made up than those of surrounding counties, and that its wool trade has thereby suffered.
