82 The Scottish Antiquary ;
'
Item, that every honest marchand sail pas with the Conservatour till
all honorabill and publict actis, as quhen ony Scottisman dois for the
honesttie of the realme, under the pane of the said unlaw.
'
Item, that na Scottisman sail call ane uther befoir ony juge bot befoir
the Conservatour, undir the pane of the samyn unlaw.'
Then follow the regulations affecting the position of the Conservator,
his powers, duties, and privileges. As they are of some length it is not
advisable to transcribe them here. The reader will find the printed
Registers of the Council in any good Public Library. It may be well ere
we conclude to draw the attention of the reader to the care taken by the
Council that the Scottish merchants should, both by dress and demeanour,
uphold the credit of their country, abstaining from uncouth, slovenly, or
poverty-stricken habits. No carrying of *
parcels or of food in sleeve or on
'
knife point was permitted, and the merchant was to be '
honestly '
clad,
suitable clothes if necessary to be provided for him by the Conservator,
the cost being taken from the wares he had to sell. It may also be noted
by those interested in the present Eight Hours Movement that the
merchant's hours for business were regulated for him ten hours in
summer, six hours in winter, averaging eight hours, with a break of two
hours at mid-day.
