Appending: (a) a paper of queries on the following
case, viz. a merchant ships out of England a parcel
of tobacco for Holland and draws back by debenture
the whole duties paid or secured inwards, except
a halfpenny per lb. The same tobacco being stript
in Holland, the leaf from the stalk, a merchant
returns the stalks back to England. Note. Tobacco
of the English Plantations cannot be imported from
Holland. First query: Whether the continuance
of returning tobacco stalks from Holland be not a
direct importation and whether the same so imported
by way of return be not forfeited, or what proof or
law shall hinder its forfeiture; for by the Act of
Frauds no tobacco, brandy or other goods therein
enumerated can be imported from the Netherlands
or Germany upon any pretence whatsoever.
Second query: What course is fit for the [Customs]
Commissioners to take; whether to receive the duty
as for tobacco at first importation, in which case
tobacco stalks must be allowed for tobacco and
then the merchants will have the same pretence to
ship out tobacco stalks from England and draw
back as aforesaid for tobacco (which had been disallowed by the Commissioners as a very pernicious
practice) or whether to receive the duty of the said
tobacco stalks ad valorem or how else? |

Antho, Francis and Andrew Gormon; Tho.
Powell; William Doggett; Jon. Mould; Jon.
Beckham; Rob. Cotton; Geo. Pevan; Jam.
Scot, late arm[oure]r for himself and two servants: upon their producing their respective
Captains' discharges and certificate of what is due
to them and verification thereof from the muster
roll they are to be paid six months of their arrears
for their service in Tangier garrison; but where
they are indebted a proportion is to be stopped
towards satisfying their creditors. |
|
|
William Smith, late Mayor of Tangier. As this
petitioner both as to his pretensions to the Hospital
and houses has fared better than any of the
inhabitants anything further is deferred until the
money now ordered to be issued be paid away to
the inhabitants, officers and soldiers. |
|
|
Lieut. Francis Gorman. Upon the Captain's
certificate he is to be paid the 6l. 3s. 3d. arrear
due to Edmd. Heather, a deceased soldier: he is to
give the widow 1l. 13s. 0d. out of it. |
|
|
Ed. Roth, Jam. Gorman and Phi. Stafford. It
is not reasonable to stop the money due to Sarah
Halsall for paying her husband's debts, since
she renounced and several of the creditors administered to his estate. |
|
|
James Gorman. The money due to Edw. Roth for
debts from the military officers is to be stopped
till further order. |
|
|
Mr. Senhouse. In case there be a remain of money
after the inhabitants, officers and soldiers are paid
this petitioner will be considered. |

of debt in the same manner with the rest of the
inhabitants. |
|
|
Ed. Cheston. Respited till the money ordered to
be issued out to the officers, soldiers and inhabitants
be paid. |
|
|
Mr. Horsdernell. It is not reasonable to order
any part of the debt he pretends to from Lieut.
Dunn until he makes out his pretensions to the
widow's satisfaction. |
|
|
Ed. Tessin. It is not reasonable to make any
other allowance for proprieties in houses than
what was mentioned in the report given in to Lord
Dartmouth. |
|
|
Ruth Swansbury. His Lordship does not think
fit to order the remainder of her debt. She shall
receive what is due when the rest of the inhabitants
of Tangier receive the latter moiety of debts due
to them. |
|
|
Isabel Ramsey. 5l. is to be paid her as royal
bounty in full of all her pretensions. |

Warrant by Treasurer Rochester to the Commissioners
of Excise and Hearthmoney to employ two clerks
more for the assistance of the Comptroller of the
Hearthmoney revenue; the late Treasury Lords
having sanctioned an Accountant General of Hearthmoney at 100l. per an. (as had been used by the late
[Hearthmoney Farmers or] Managers) but the Commissioners having since put that duty upon the
Comptroller whereby the Accountant became useless
and has been omitted from the last two salary bills
of the Hearthmoney, but it is now found that the
office of Comptroller requires that he take an account
of all charges and discharges arising from the
particular [Receivers'] books, thereby to comptroll
the whole of that revenue so that said two clerks
will be needed. The said 100l. per an. saved as
above is to be appointed for their salaries. |

Royal warrant to the Clerk of the Signet for a privy
seal for the pay of Sir William Stapleton's salary as
Governor of the Leeward Islands and for the pay of
the two Foot Companies there as follows. The
Governor in Chief of the Leeward Isles was by
Charles II allowed 700l. per an. for his pay or entertainment which [sum] he was to receive out of the
Exchequer in England until such time as the island
of St. Christopher should be in a condition to pay
him the like yearly sum and so proportionally for
any part of said sum as it should grow payable out
of said island. It appears by certificate of the
Auditor of the Receipt that said yearly sum has
been paid [out of the English Exchequer] to Sir
William Stapleton as Governor in Chief of the said
Island[s] until 1681, June 24. |
King's Warrant Book X, pp. 202–3. |
|
By an establishment dated 1670–1, Mar. 8, the pay
and entertainment of two Foot Companies, of 80
soldiers each besides officers, in said Islands was
settled at 2,778l. 10s. 8d. per an. and said establishment and the contingents thereof has been paid at
the Exchequer or otherwise up to 1681, July 7. |
|
|
The privy seals by which the pay of said Governor
and said Companies was issued at the [English]
Exchequer are become void by the death of Charles II.
[In renewal thereof] it is hereby ordered that the
arrears of said 700l. per an. (which for four years
from 1681, Jan. 24, amount to 2,800l.) be paid and
also the quarterly payments on said yearly sum
in future during pleasure or till such time as the said
island of St. Christopher shall be in a condition to
pay the said yearly sum or proportionably thereof:
to be received by him without account. |
|
|
Further the arrears of pay due to said two Companies not exceeding 2,778l. 10s. 8d. per an. for four
years from 1681, July 7, are hereby to be paid to said
Stapleton as imprest: and payments on the said
establishment from 1685, July 7, are hereby to
be made to him from time to time by such proportions
and in such manner as the Lord Treasurer shall find
necessary. (Royal warrant dated Oct. 17 for said
privy seal.) |

tobacco, imported from Holland, whether the
tobacco were exported from hence thither or no,
will be forfeited: and I conceive it advisable to proceed against it as such and not to receive any Customs for it least greater inconveniences than do now
appear may arise to his Majesty's Customs thereby." |
Ibid, p. 174. |
|
Same to the Customs Commissioners, enclosing the
Attorney General's opinion on the following paper.
You are to hasten your report on the two bills which
Mr. Peirce brought you. |
Ibid, p. 175. |
|
Appending: (a) said paper. By the late Act of
Parliament the subsidies of Tunnage and Poundage
are made payable to the present King from Feb. 6
last for life in the same manner as granted by the
Act of Tunnage and Poundage to the late King,
without taking notice of or confirming some other
Acts of Parliament which had repealed or altered
some of the duties imposed by the said Act. The
differences are as follow. |
|
|
By the Act of 25 Car. II, c. 6, for taking off aliens'
duties upon native commodities those goods upon
exportation are to be free. By the Act of Customs
they were to pay a quarter part more than natives. |
|
|
By the Act of 15 Car. II, c. 7, for encouragement
of Trade, coals to the Plantations are to pay 1s. per
chalder; by the Act of Customs they were to pay 5s. |
|
|
By the same Act bullion exported is to be free.
By the Act of Customs its export was prohibited
except by the King's warrant. |
|
|
By the Act for the Improvement of Tillage
22 Car. II, c. 13, all persons may transport the following commodities though they exceed the price
mentioned in the Act for Tunnage and Poundage
on payment of 1s. for every barrel of butter (3s.
under the Act of Customs); 4d. for every hundred
[weight] of cheese (1s. under the Act of Customs);
1s. for every cow or heifer, ox or steer (ad valorem
under the Act of Customs); 5s. for every horse
(3l. 6s. 8d. under the Act of Customs); 5s. for every
mare (6l. 6s. 8d. under the Act of Customs); 5s. for
every gelding (10s. under the Act of Customs). |
|
|
By the Act of 22 and 23 Car. II, c. 13, for exporting
beer, ale and mum, beer exported in English ships
pays one and in strangers' ships one [shilling per
tunn] (respectively 2s. and 6s. under the Act of
Customs) but upon the latter Act all the Excise is
repaid. |
|
|
The opinion of Counsel upon the above Act of
25 Car. II, c. 6, is that it is not in force against the
present Act of Tunnage and Poundage, but that the
aliens' duty ought to be levied as before the making
of that Act. |
|
|
And it is supposed that the other three forementioned Acts stand upon the same ground and
reason, but the opinion of Counsel has not been
taken therein. |
|
|
And a further question will arise upon all of them
which is that since there is no repealing clause or
words in the present Act of Tunnage and Poundage
as to any part of them, but a new duty granted,
whether the duties imposed thereby [by the above
several Acts] be not payable also over and above the
present grant of the Customs. |
|
|
And another question will arise particularly upon
the Act of 25 Car. II concerning the exportation
of bullion whether that Act be not in force against
the old Acts of 9 Edw. III, 5 Ric. III, 7 Ric. III,
2 Hy. VI, and 19 Hy. VII, and if so whether it be
not chargeable by the present Act of Parliament for
poundage at 12d. per £ value as all unrated goods are. |
|
|
(b) Undated statement of opinion by Sir R.
Sawyer, Attorney General, hereon. "I have considered of this paper and of the Acts therein
mentioned and do conceive that those Acts as to
the lessening of the duties from what were imposed
by the Act for the Subsidy of Tunnage and Poundage
are repealed and the duties must be paid according
to the Act revived, but not both duties; for though
there are no express words of repeal yet by restoring
the former Act those Acts which operated in
diminution of that Act are repealed. As to the
liberty of exporting bullion the Act for exporting
of bullion of 15 Car. II is of force against the ancient
prohibiting laws, but it must pay the duty ad valorem
by the revived Act for the Customs." |
