Part 44

There are different jurisdictions, clergy, nobility and secular, in which beer is prepared, so those who have this tax should also act according to this tax and not sell beer at a higher price, only according to their tax, and iisdem subiacebit paenis et foro is against this tax. And since there are those who infect beer with various spices for the sake of drunkenness, then anyone who dares to mix anything other than hops into beer that is harmful to the plague will be punished with paenis criminalibus et confiscatione of beer. 7. Booze. There is a great deal of lawlessness in this city and among guests passing and departing, that after receiving the drinks of others, some people despise them, pro arbitrio suo, they sell all kinds of alcohol at a high price, and therefore, seeking enormi depactationi there, after counting all the alcohol expensa and the rent they get from it, a quart of good alenbic vodka, citwarowa, we estimate it at twenty groszy, a quarter at five groszy; we treat the anise front one made of straight spirit, fired at a good price of sixteen groszy, and the other one also made from root, but a good one priced at twelve groszy, and the straight one at six groszy, carefully admonishing the vodka tenants and other renters not to dare to sell the vodka at a higher price than this one, even as good as they were selling now, i.e., to sell the vodka at a higher or lower price, paenis condignis iudicium he will probably not refrain from punishing them. And if in other jurisdictions, such as clergy, nobility or city, there are alcoholic hams, then we also want to obey those who obey this tax and we command them not to hide behind any liberties, whatever they have, and not to dare to pay more for this tax. However, anyone who opposes our tax and sells it at higher prices from such jurisdictions will probably be punished not only mulctis paecuniariis but captivitatione, turris sessione ad cuiusvis instantiam. In other cities and towns, where smaller leases and spirits come cheaper, for cheaper wood and other smaller expensations, the spirit of good citwar is not to be sold above fourteen groszy, anish brand above twelve groszy, or simple spirit above four groszy sub paenis superius descriptis. 8. Honey. Taking into account the current price of unleavened honey and other expenses for brewing it, we decide that good quality honey should not be more expensive than twenty groszy, a pot of honey should not be more expensive than sixteen groszy, and in other cities and towns where wood is cheaper and other expenses are lower, there should be no more expensive pot of top honey than sixteen groszy, and no less expensive one than groszy. twelve, which in all jurisdictions, both spiritual and secular, the innkeepers who sell mead should listen to and should not sell honey at a higher price, under the fault of fourteen fines, toties quoties citati fuerint ad instantiam cuiusvis in quolibet foro repetendis. Nothing except hops should be mixed with saturated honey, because human health is infected with spices, which sub paenis criminalibus and we recommend against the loss of this honey. 9. Butchers. Every butcher who slaughters cattle, heifers, calves, lambs and swine shall not beat any animal until it first tells the mayor and it shows the cattle that he is to beat and, holding up two fingers in the air under his conscience, says that he bought it at a high price. However, the mayor and two councilors attached to him, who are to be replaced every month by the office, should be careful if the price is right or the butcher of the cattle has not told us. If it turns out that the animal is not there, as he said it was for sale, then the mayor and the councilors assigned to him will, according to their pro qualitate conscience, value the animal and immediately put the price of the estimated animal on the card or board, and there is no sub paenis infrascriptis in the sale of the tax made excedere. However, the mayor is supposed to maintain order in this taxation. If you found an ox or a heifer worth PLN twenty estimated, then and a quarter of the meat of such cattle worth PLN. three groszy and ten are to be taxed, leather PLN. four, unmelted tallow stone PLN. five, melted PLN. seven and so per cousequens, if it were more expensive or cheaper, would it go to dl? ad proportionem, the others should be assessed. To jednak ma wziąć in considerationem, aby ćwierć mięsa z wołu tłustego czabańskiego wielkiego nie była taksowana nad zł. ten, a quarter from a Russian front ox over PLN. seven, and a slightly smaller ox is good
