| Abstract | As a result of an epidemic in 1679-81, a shortage of labour developed in East and North Yorkshire and, in an endeavour to prevent wages rising to their full scarcity level, the justices redrafted the scales of maximum wages which, under the Statute of Artificers, might be paid and accepted, and attempted to make employers and workers conform to those scales |
