Following a 1586 famine Elizabeth's Privy Council issued orders to justices of the peace dictating how they were to respond to food scarcity in their communities. The sweeping highly detailed orders listed the quantities of grain permitted each family and controlled prices for any excess put on the market. Though many other monarchs had regulated grain markets after crop failures the practice expanded significantly under Elizabeth. Along with other social reforms this provided the foundation for her overhaul of the poor laws in 1601.

Despite previous attempts to regulate excessively heavy carriages the king and his people still found "by dayly experience" that "those great abuses" were "still continued and increased." This two-page proclamation restricts carriages to "twenty hundred weight" one ton and imposed limits of either five horses five oxen or four oxen and two horses. It also encourages local officials to keep up with highway maintenance and "answere the contrary at their perils."

A collection of orders to justices of the peace and other overseers of the poor dictating how they were to respond to food scarcity in their communities.

Among other requirements the orders mandated that corn be sold in an open market and that justices of the peace be present to ensure fair prices and prevent hoarding.
