is not chargeable with any additional duty and

species, and are not therefore chargeable with the new
impositions as such ; and further the Solicitor
General having given his opinion that these weed
ashes coming from another country and not known
by the name of barillia or saphora are indeed commodities
of a different species, and he did not see
how they could be charged under that name. |

Treasury order to the Customs Commissioners to
observe (a) infra.
Prefixing : (a) Order of the Privy Council, dated
Whitehall, Sept. 3 inst., granting leave to the ship
Sarah, Thomas Burrell commander, 300 tons, 30
guns, 55 men, to sail to the Straits, provided she
give bond to take in, in the West of England, a
considerable part of her lading of pilchards and
to return home with her men in time for their
Majesties' service the next summer, danger of the
seas and enemy excepted : all on the petition of
Sir Thomas Pilkington and Sir Thomas Vernon, kts.,
and other merchants of London, owners and freighters
of said ship, showing that by the present embargo
no English ships are permitted to go to the Straits
till November next, which is a proper time for
greatest part of the Straits trade, but for some
other part it's convenient to send goods now, and
petitioners are unwilling to send their goods in
foreign ships, as many Jews and foreigners do,
and thereby let the English lie by the walls and
[so do] run away with the trade from the true
English fair trading merchants ; and that the said
ship is of good force and an excellent sailer and will be
back in time for their Majesties' service next summer. |
