which the examiners of outport books have reported
that he did, during said quarters, omit to collect
the aliens' duty on lead etc. exported from that
port by aliens : but he having alleged for himself
the practice in the late reign by an Order in
Council dated 1685-6, Jan. 22, requiring the receiving
of no other Customs from merchant strangers
for the native commodities of this kingdom exported
than what were payable to Charles II at the time
of his decease by virtue of the statute mentioned
in said Order : which Order was not afterwards
revoked by any other Order : it further appearing
that the greatest part of the aforesaid goods were
really the goods of Englishmen, although they
entered and took out cocquets in the names of
aliens for colour, to preserve them from capture
by the French : "and also because the said former
law, which was only lapsed by accident, being
again revived by the late Act of Tunnage and
Poundage, the said alien duties are again remitted
and the practice [now] is to collect as he did." |
