Privileges Granted to German Merchants IntraText CT - Text |
When winter guests come to the torrent which is called Vorsch, information will be given to the alderman of the ferrymen, who are called Vorschkerle, so that the pilots may come in the morning; and there will be one caldron, and no more, cooked for them on that morning, and when this has been cooked and eaten, the ferrymen will help the merchants without delay; nor will any of them be taken care of in light skiffs except the men be strong and trained, so that they may take care of the goods of the guests. When the ferrymen come to the fishermen's tavern let them be paid, each one of them receiving eight martens' heads, and a pair of cloaks, or, in place of the cloaks three martens' heads, and then the guest may proceed without more delay.
