Warrant by Treasurer Godolphin to the Customs Commissioners
to make an abatement of Duties on prize wines lying in the warehouse
at Botolph Wharf, same being poor and mean and not worth
the Duty and when put up for sale no one would bid for them.
Prefixing : report dated Feb. 3 inst. by the said Commissioners on
the case. It hath never been the practise of the Customs to make
such abatement in proportion to the meanness or smallness of the
wines but always looked upon as a thing of most pernicious consequence
to the revenue. But it may be done in this case as in the
like case of a parcel of prize wines at Dover upon our report of July
15 last. Out Letters (Customs) XIV, pp. 342-3.
