unwholesome casks.

That no hogs, dogs, or cats, or tame pigeons, or conies, be
suffered to be kept within any part of the city, or any swine to be
or stray in the streets or lanes, but that such swine be impounded
by the beadle[86] or any other officer, and the owner punished
according to the act of common council; and that the dogs be killed
by the dog killers appointed for that purpose.

ORDERS CONCERNING LOOSE PERSONS AND IDLE ASSEMBLIES.

_Beggars._

Forasmuch as nothing is more complained of than the multitude of
rogues and wandering beggars that swarm about in every place about
the city, being a great cause of the spreading of the infection,
and will not be avoided[87] notwithstanding any orders that have
been given to the contrary: it is therefore now ordered that such
constables, and others whom this matter may any way concern, take
special care that no wandering beggars be suffered in the streets
of this city, in any fashion or manner whatsoever, upon the penalty
provided by law to be duly and severely executed upon them.

_Plays._

That all plays, bear baitings,[88] games, singing of ballads,
buckler play,[89] or such like causes of assemblies of people, be
utterly prohibited, and the parties offending severely punished by
every alderman in his ward.
