Copies of the market rules were to be posted in the most public places in every township in the district, and at the doors of the church and court-house in Kingston.

No rules, however, could be enforced; there were no market hours or days appointed, or any protection against forestalliug, in those days much complained of. The magistrates acted upon the authority given them, the Kingston market was duly established, and by 1811 the published rules and regulations had become very extensive: ' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
