    I[?] sell vegetables, and several other things such as Delf, Second-hand clothes, flowers and plants, The toll that has to be paid on these things is one shilling. When an animal is sold a luck penny is given. The bigger the price the animal fetches the bigger the luckpenny will be. When the bargain is made the owner gives the buyer a hand slap on the hand and says "sould agen", When the bargain is made the buyer lifts a piece of mud and marks the beast.
