That the burgesses shall be quit of toll and lastage [duty on a ship's cargo] and pontage [tax for repairing bridges] and have passage back and forth. 7. Moreover, for the improvement of the city, I have granted them that they shall be quit of year's gift and of scotale [pressure to buy ale at the sheriff's tavern], so that my sheriff of Newcastle- on-Tyne or any other minister shall not make a scotale. 8. And whosoever shall seek that city with his merchandise, whether foreigners or others, of... whatever place they may be, they may come sojourn and depart in my safe peace, on paying the due customs and debts, and any impediment to these rights is prohibited. 9. We have granted them also a merchant guild. 10. And that none of them [in the merchant guild] shall fight by combat. The king no longer lives on his own from income from his ownlands, but takes money from the treasury. A tax of a percentage of1/15th of personal property was levied in 1225 for a war, inreturn for which the king signed the Magna Carta.
