Upon your query whether English built ships taken by the enemy and afterwards bought, owned and manned by English should pay any Custom upon their first coming into England I do not conceive it reasonable that they should.

Treasurer Osborne to Lord Arundell of Trerice. It has been an ancient practice for the Customs officers of Falmouth to give a clearing bill to all masters of ships before the officers of Pendennis Castle did permit the ships to sail out of the harbour. The Collector of Falmouth has often desired your inferior officer [in said castle] not to suffer ships to go out before they produced such a clearing bill. But they have never yet complied herewith. You are forthwith to command the officers of said castle not to clear any ships or suffer them to depart till a clearing bill be had from Falmouth. Warrants Not Relating to Money III. p. 481.
[?] Same to the Earl of Essex, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Yours to hand enclosing the petition of Mr. Jervas, part owner of the "Katherine," of Dublin, lately arrived from the Plantations. I send you a copy of the report hereon from the Customs Commissioners as also of former reports and orders concerning the like case of the ship "Farewell." From these you will be convinced of the evil consequences of permitting Plantation commodities to be landed in Ireland upon any occasion, as prejudical to the trade of England. Should any pretences of the ship's being disabled of proceeding home to England be admitted there is no doubt you will daily meet with contrivances of that kind. I have been informed of several Plantation ships that have lately arrived in Ireland without coming home to England. Send an account hereof. The said Jervis, part owner of the "Catherine," is a Surveyor of the Customs, and absolutely debarred by his office from trading. He must be punished. You must keep all ships strictly to the law of coming home to England. "My great indisposition hath hindered me from presenting this to your Excellency under my own hand." Ibid. pp. 482-3.381
