Fifteenth Century Road-Hogs.
A lively and instructive preface to “Woodward’s Road Traffic Act, 1930” (Eyre and Spottiswoode. 165.), is written by Mr. R. A. Glen. Among other interesting matter, ho unearths a regulation against “parking” in London in 1419, and another of the same period which thus deals with a species of road-hog: “Item, that no carter within the liberties shall drive his cart more quickly when it is unloaded than when it is loaded; for the avoiding of divers perils and grievances, under pain of paying forty pence unto the Chamber, and of having his body committed to prison at the will of the Mayor.”
