39. For every guild based on the provisions of §§ 32, 33, a separate redemption fund will be set up. It consists
a) of the joint assets of the guild, after subtracting the debts against it;
b) an annual income of one-and-a-half percent of the value of all relevant entitlements [ . . . ]
c) the interest saved through the redemptions.
40. The redemption is done through cash payment from this fund, to the extent that it is adequate in each case.
41. The claims that are repaid first are those offered at the best rate. If several are put forth at an equally good price, then those that carry the largest debts are repaid first. If that does not produce a right of priority, the drawing of lots will decide. Whether the entitlement is still being used or is dormant has no influence on the redemption. [ . . . ]
49. The magistrate is personally responsible for seeing to it that the redemption fund of each guild is not used for anything other than the redemption of the relevant entitlements and that the redemption is not delayed in any way. The governments are obligated to pay special attention to this. [ . . . ]
51. With respect to his own consumption, no one is subject any longer to milling or beverage prescriptions. [ . . . ]
57. Every person’s trade authorization is henceforth to be judged by the content of his trade license.
58. If there are doubts about the limits of that authorization, the decision belongs solely to the police authorities.
59. In accordance with § 9 of the Edict of November 2, 1810, the trade license also gives each holder the right to deal in the products made on the basis of the same. This right is herewith defined in detail in what follows.
60. He may offer these products for sale in his place of residence in his house, also in open shops, in stalls, to the extent that their erection is permitted by the police, or in open market squares, or also by carrying them around, and he can have them offered for sale by the lodgers in his house.
61. In addition, he may send them out, visit fairs with them also outside of his residence and display them there in shops or stalls.
