Crimes concerning labor
There is evidence in the Leet Jurisdiction in the City of Norwich from the 13th and 14th centuries that women were charged with breaking the assize of ale as well as keeping back money from the sale of corn. Women were also cited with buying corn outside of the city walls where taxes were not collected and either keeping it for their families or re-selling it and making an illegal profit (cite Leet Jurisdiction again). Cite something about how women were leading producers of ale from Ale, beer and brewsters in England: women's work in a changing world, 1300-1600 · In 1300, brewing was a small-scale, local industry pursued by women who worked from their homes. (page 9) See Alewife also see Women In Brewing
