[?] Memorial read and entered from the Customs Commissioners. "Wee are here bould to represent unto your Lod a business which wee humbly conceive doth much concerne His Maty customes and the safety of many merchants' goods for the paymt of which they now lye in His Maties warehouses in the Custom House. When wee first entered on this imployment wee found abundance of severall men's goods in the warehouses and since by the multitude of seizures and bills at sight and severall goods of greate vallue by generall warrant brought in to prevent the usuall frauds attempted by the merchants, the said warehouses are soe filled with goods of greate bulke and vallue that their very beames above begin to start with the weight, and the confusion likely to be soe greate in cleareing by the advantage the merchants take to let them lye untill they can get a markett" besides the fear of fire. Therefore desire orders to be published by the Treasurer or by proclamation by the King in Council ordering the merchants within two months to clear the said warehouses of all these goods, and so to pay the customs, and that the books be therewith charged, and in case of refusal that extents be granted out of the Exchequer for levying the customs and subsidies due on such goods, by the sale thereof. With Treasurer Southampton's minute. "I cannot say whether the way of remedy in this paper be warrantable but that who ever cleeres not his goods within 2 moneths have them removed from the King's warehouse and be at some extraordinary charge I thinke very reasonable, to the end that such merchandize as custom wilbe paid for may not be excluded by such as are burthensome." Refers it to the Barons of the Exchequer and Attorney and Solicitor General to consider of the method of levying customs on the goods so to be turned out. [Early Entry Book VIII. pp. 153–4, 155.]

Same from the Clerks of the Custom House, London, for the continuance of their ancient and accustomed reward by bills of store. With Treasurer Southampton's minute.

And in the times the customes were farmed, the farmers probably because the officers were usefull to them and because the Customes were of great advantage to them might grante bills of store.

There appears some infringement of the literal sense of the Navigation Act by bringing these goods to Dover in foreign shipping, but if this point is dispensed with the shipping out again in English bottoms will make more than sufficient requital to the navigation of the kingdom. The duties to be paid by way of composition, and the order to be observed in managing that service could be laid down in articles to be drawn advisedly, and to be annexed to the Privy Seal. With Treasurer Southampton's Minute.
