To illustrate their indignation, the company relate the experience of Thomas Cave who 'Paid Forty Shillings on Account of a six penny Loaf Four Days old which a Common Soldier's Wife Bought of him, and had taken a Piece out of the Loaf, and then the Husband went and Informed against the Baker for want of Weight'.
