§. 4 [ Hours ] p. 3. §. 25. [ 1 ] [ 70 ] <add>Page 51. [ No person <add>. . . . shall exercise <add>. . . . . his . . . . occupation at . . . . . hours
other than &c ] The use of the proposed restrictions
with regard to Hours is that the persons
of no one may come with goods to dispose of
at any of these shops, without his person's being
exposed to observation. The degree of publicity thus
secured will operate as a check upon the
Books which required to be kept by the which
