130 THE EARLY HISTORY OF
at Constantinople unsold, and that the coun-
try was glutted by reason of the importations
by Venetians and others. Thereupon the
company decided that no cloth or other
English goods should be sent out until the
following April on penalty of 20 per cent. In
1627 57 the Company regulated shipping for
12 months in exactly the same way. Of
course, these limiting Acts were repealed when
the time was considered fit. The last limita-
tion mentioned was repeated in December,
1628 58 but repealed in the following July 59.
So, too, in 1631 60 it was found that the quan-
tity of cloth remaining at Aleppo was so small
that it would be desirable to send a further
supply. The company accordingly agreed,61
stipulating that only those members be allowed
to ship goods to Aleppo who had paid all their
debts to the company, whether for imposi-
57 Min. August 2, 1627.
58 Min. December 29, 1628.
59 Min. July 9, 1629.
“ Henceforth it shall be free for every member of
the company to ship cloth and other commodities unto
any place within the company’s privileges at what time
and in what measure and upon what shipping they shall
think fit.” 60 Min. September 27, 1631.
