The Incorporation of the Company at this particular time is no doubt the origin of the popular belief that Playing Cards were first introduced into England in the reign of Charles I.; but, at the same time, it affords complete refutation of that belief, for the necessity for the Incorporation arose from the fact that "the Art and Trade of making of "Playing Cards by the King's loving subjects which had been "used and put in practise for divers years last past"-but which was then-as at the present day-pretty much confined to the City, of London "and the Parishes near unto it" was becoming seriously interfered with" by reason of the continued "importihg of great quantities of foreign Playing Cards made "in the parts beyond the seas unto this Realm,'and the public " selling of the same here without restraint." Moreover, cheap and inferior goods were being manufactured ih this country, and many " deceits and abuses committed by such as were "inexpert at the Trade, so that those who had attained to "the perfection of that Art and skill were not able to maintain "themselves, their wives and families." Apprentices to bond fide makers had no inducements to industry, and the trade _ __ ~__~_ -- ---- ---- - -I 5 was becoming altogether demoralized and unregulated. To such an extent was this the case, that the Card Makers of London had laid their grievances before the late King James I., who, though ' graciously inclined by making them a "Corporation, and otherwise, to provide a remedy for the " same " took no practical step in that direction, and it was left to King Charles the First, "of blessed memory," to do so. History repeats itself-and the conviction largely felt in the present day that our own countrymen are seriously disadvantaged by the employment of so much foreign labour, is but an echo of the words used by the King in the Preamble of the Charter: " Finding of how great use and consequence it is to "the welfare of our kingdom that all manufactures and handi"crafts should by all good and laudable means be cherished "and maintained for the setting of our own people on work, "and enabling them by their honest labours and industries "to maintain themselves and their families for the public " service of the Commonwealth." With this end in view, the Charter absolutely prohibits the importation into this country of any nianner of Playing Cards, upon pain of forfeiture, and other penalties, and Customs Officers are required to seize them on pain of losing their office. It further ordains that no person other than a Freeman of the Company shall set up, use or exercise the art, trade or mystery of making Playing Cards in England or Wales unless he shall have served as apprentice for seven years in the said trade, art or mystery, according to the statute in that case provided, and goes on to incorporate under the name of " The Master, Wardens and Commonalty of "the 'Mistery of Makers of Playing Cards of the City of "London," the twenty seven persons therein named, and all other persons who shall be Freemen of the Company, or have served a seven years' apprenticeship to such Freeman. Power is given the Company to sue and be sued, to purchase and hold land, and to let and dispose of land. Provision is made for the appointment of a Master, two Wardens and sixteen Assistants, who constitute the Court of the Company, to whom r - -- 6 and their successors in office is given the power to make orders for the government of the Company, and the apprentices and servants of the Members and the trade or mystery of making of Playing Cards within the City of London and Liberties and ten miles of the said City, " so that the same be not contrary "to the statutes of the realm." Power is also given to the Court to impose fines for breach of orders,, to levy them by distress, to prosecute and punish offenders, to reform abuses, and to search for and seize anywhere in England or Wales foreign Playing Cards or Cards defectively wrought or unsealed (to which reference is hereafter made). All Mayors, Sheriffs and Bailiffs are instructed to assist the Master and Wardens in such search, and upon complaint by them. to the Court of Exchequer of any resistance to such search the offenders are to be punished "as they. "deserve." The Master and Wardens are, according to the provisions of the Charter, elected out of the Members of the Court annually on St. Andrew's Day (30th November), and continue in office for one year; they may be re-elected-at the end of, their year of office or removed during it by the Court, for "e evil government or other good and reasonable cause." The Assistants are elected by the Court and hold office for life, but may be removed by their colleagues "for any just and " reasonable cause." The Master, Wardens and Assistants, before entering on office, severally take oaths for the due fulfilment of their duties. The Officers of the Company consist of the Clerk and the Beadle, both of whom hold office during the pleasure of the Court, and are also bound by oath to the due fulfilment of 'their duties. It was not to be expected that the Crown would by the prohibition of the importation of Playing Cards lose the benefit of the duties levied upon them, or grant a monopoly of manufacture to London citizens without some corresponding advantage and the quid pro quo is found in a covenant by Il Mý 7 the Company to pay for ever thereafter to the Crown shillings upon every gross of Playing Cards made and s as thereafter appointed, and a further sum of one shillin gross to the Officer appointed to receive the same, fc " labour, pains, charges and attendance " in sealing the and receiving the duty aforesaid. The Officer so appoin denominated the King's Receiver of Composition Moni was to be made a Freemani of the Company, and to 6 given the custody of and.the right to impress upon all needful for the sealing of Playing Cards made by the Cor a Seal or Stamp engraven with the Royal Arms, "fc " better preventing of such frauds and cosinages wher "all Our loving subjects have been heretofore often a " and cheated by the frequent use of false Cards," and ordained that no Cards should be sol& in England or before being first sealed with such Stamp or Seal. Pc given to the Receiver and to the Court as before ment to search for and detain all Cards made and intended f( without being so sealed, and all those seized are to be for half going to the Crown and half to the Company. King's Receiver was to have an office in the City, appoint Deputies to seal any Cards made "in remote " towns or places " within England or Wales, so as to the necessity of makers sending their Cards to London sealed. In order to prevent this imposition of duty af the price of Cards and "so burdening Our loving sub thereis a further covenant on the part of the Company all Cards at as cheap a rate as foreign Cards wer during the previous seven years before the date of the C It is also provided that every Maker of Playing Card have a mark of his own, which he shall also stamp Cards he makes, and the King's Receiver is only to re( and stamp with the King's Seal Cards presented 1 bearing such maker's mark. Every maker is to car private mark to be "entered, filed and enrolled" in the of the King's Receiver and also with the Clerk of the Co] L, two sealed ig per or his. Cards ited is [es, he aim is papers Upany or the rewith bbused it was Wales )wer is;ioned, or sale rfeited, SThe and to. cities, avoid Sto be fecting jects," to sell re sold harter. s shall on the cognise to him ise his SOffice mpany, I I ~--- ~ _ I __ _ _ I _ I __ _ ~ _q 8 "44 whereby the makers of, faulty"and defective Cards (if any " such shall be made) may the sooner be discovered for the "condign punishment of those that shall use the said art, " mistery or manufacture deceitfully to the hurt or discredit " of the said art and mistery oi the wrong 'or abuse of Our " loving subjects." In the year following the Grait of the Charter, Orders and Bye,-Laws were framed by the Court for the Government 'of the Company and the trade,, which on the 16th February, 1630, received the sanction of the Lord Keeper of the G0reat Seal, the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench, and the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas under the provisions of the Statute 19 Henry VIL, relating to the confirmation of Bye-Iaws made by any Guild o0 Fraternity. These orders prohibit and provide penalties for various offences, e.g., swearing, reviliig Members of the Company, non-registration of marks, counterfeiting another maker's mark, engaging in trade without showing proficiency, employing other than Freemen. of the Company and Apprentices, taking more Apprentices or Journeymen than are allowed, employing other Members'Apprentices or Journeymen, assigning Apprentices without consent of the Court, employing Foreigners or Aliens, not bringing Apprentiqes to the Court for registration, not inrolling Apprentices at the Chamberlain's Office, making default in getting cards'sealed, and paying King's duty, refusing to obey Summons to attend the Court, &c. The Bye-Laws also provide for the disfranchisement of Members under certain circumstances, compelling Paste Board Makers to pay 2d. a ream for paper made into paste board, the appointment of " Surveyors " to search Workshops, and repoit any infringement of Bye-Laws, fixing the amounts payable on taking up Freedom,.&c., instituting the payment of an annual sum of 2s. by every Member under the name of "Quarterage," &c. ' It does not appear from the Records that the Bye-Laws originally made have undergone at. any one time material _ _ I 9 alteration, but changes have from time to time been made as& occasion has required, and 'the fines at the present time prescribed and payable on taking up the Freedom and Livery and taking Office in the company are as follows:Freedom by Redemption - - - - - ~3 7s.,,,, ~Patrimony or Servitude - 2 12s. Livery Fine - - - - - - - -- - ~21 Assistant's Fine on Election to Court - ~42 Declining to serve when elected - - ~10 Junior Warden's Fire on taking Office- ~21 Declining to serve when elected - - - ~10 10s. Senior Warden's Fine on taking Office- '~31 10s. Declining to serve when'elected - - - ~15 15s. Master's Fine on taking Office - - - ~100 Declining to serve when elected- - - ~50 In addition to which there are small sums payable for Clerk's Fees. The only annual payment required to be made by all Freemen is the Quarterage mentioned above, which is annually collected for each year ending 29th November. In 'the year 1792, the Company petitioned the Court of Aldermen of the City of London that they might be made a Livery Company, and the matter was referred to a Committee who reported, on the 20th November, 1792, that they were of opinion that a Livery should, be granted upon certain conditions. The grant was made by the Court of Aldermen on 27th Noyember, 1792. By the terms of the grant no Liveryman can be admitted into the Company until his freedom is taken up. Amongst other privileges, a Liveryman of the Company has a right to a vote on the eledtion of Members of Parliament for the City of- London, and on those of the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, and certain Officers of the City of London. Such is a brief summary of the Constitution, objects, rights, and powers of the Company, and though, since the date of the Charter, time and the wisdom of Parliament have, no doubt, wrought many changes, it is a noticeable fact that any abro - ~ ~ ~ '-''' 10 gation of or interference with the rights or benefits reserved to the Crown under the Charter have been avoided, for the present Government Duty of Threepence on every pack of Cards is but a continuation-although an increase-of the " Composition money " payable to the Crown as a consideration for the rights and powers granted to the Company., The Government Stamp, which is now impressed on every pack of cards, is only a survival of the old "King's Seal," and although, perhaps, it is no longer strictly incumbent on every Maker of Playing Cards to use his own trade or private mark, he is still bound to stamp his own name on the wrapper of every pack before the Government Stamp can be impressed. From the olden times to the. present day, the annual Election of Master and Wardens as ordained by Charter has taken place, and the Court has regularly met for the transaction of business relating to thq trade of Playing Card Making and the affairs of the Company, and though the circumstances under which the industry flourishes at the present day render unnecessary the exercise of the plenary powers possessed by the Company, yet the -Company continues to foster that industry and jealously to watch over the interests of that trade which it was ordained to protebt.
