At a meeting of the inhabitants of the parish of Saffron Walden, held at the Rose and Crown, on Friday the 10th day of July, 1795, the following Resolution was entered into. At this Meeting it appears highly necessary, from the great scarcity of Wheat and Flour in hand, and the improbability of further supply, that every expedient should be used for lessening the consumption, and eking out the present supply; the Inhabitants present do thereupon resolve to use in their own Families a coarser sort of Flour, and as small a quantity of it as possible, using every substitute that can be devised and do most earnestly recommend the same to the parish in general, as a measure, in their opinion, absolutely necessary.
