Out Letters (Customs) XII,

|
Treasury warrant to the Customs Commissioners

there (as he did in Virginia and Maryland)
both of the management of the Plantation Duty
of 25 Car. II, c. 7, and of the Acts of Trade and
Navigation and also of the Four and a Half per cent.
duty in Barbados and the Leeward Islands : there
being reason to fear that [the said managements in]

Out Letters (Customs) XII,
p. 25. |
|
Same to same to alter the method of allowances upon
damaged tobacco by deducting the damage out of
the post entry instead of the present method of
certificates and repayments, the old method having
proved troublesome to the merchants and occasioned
great clamour, the merchants being kept so long
out of their allowance for damage which they conceive
ought to be abated them out of their payment
of Customs. |
Ibid, p. 27. |
|
Same to same to make a deduction as follows upon
rolled tobacco. The Customs Commissioners have
been greatly pressed by the merchants of Bristol
and London concerning a 5 per cent. deduction,
which for some years has been made out of debentures
upon the export of tobacco in roll in consideration
of the liquors and other mixtures made use of in
the working the same into roll ; the said merchants
complaining of great hardship to them therein as
also that the said manufacture of spining or rolling
of tobacco (which employs many hundreds of poor
people, men, women and children) was not only
in great danger to be lost thereby and driven into
other countries, but that such foreign manufacture
stops the consumption of our Virginia tobacco, they
[the foreign manufacturers] buying only some
leaves thereof to cover and wrap over the tobacco
of German growth : upon which representation
the said Commissioners upon enquiry do find that
there are principally two sorts of rolled tobacco,
one that is bright and fair and made up with little
moisture and the other very dark coloured and
mixed with great quantity of syrops and other
liquors ; of which the former doth rather abate
than increase the weight by the making it into
roll, the stalks (which are thrown out and which
paid Custom at importation, as tobacco) being
more considerable than the addition of weight
made by the moisture or other materials ; whilst
the other receives so great an addition of weight
by the moisture added in working it up that
notwithstanding that the stalks are thrown out it is
considerably increased in weight : wherefore the
said Commissioners propose (rather than hazard
the loss of so advantageous and desirable a manufacture)
that upon the brighter sort of roll there
be no deduction or abatement made at exportation
and that upon the darker sort the searchers continue
to deduct the 5 per cent. as formerly. This proposal
is hereby by the Treasury approved and directed
to be performed. |

Treasury reference to the Surveyor General of Crown

Treasury warrant to the Clerk of the Pipe and all
other officers of the Exchequer and Hanaper concerned
for a discharge as follows to George FitzRoy.
Duke of Northumberland. The said Duke was
granted by Charles II 1673, June 2, the profits of
the sealing of writs etc. in the King's Bench and
Common Pleas under a rent of 569l. 10s. 0d. per an.
and 50l. per an. increase for those of the King's
Bench and 984l. 9s. 0d. and 50l. increase for those
of these Common Pleas "and rendering the seventh
penny of the said profits to such persons or officers
to whom the same had been accustomably paid" :
and by reason of the fact that the course and process
of the said two Courts as to Hilary term last were
altered and neither of the said Courts in all that
term was kept and that from 1688-9, Jan. 23,
to Feb. 12, all the writs sealed were only 551, whereof
the fees were only 17l. 17s. 10d. (as appears by the
oath of Thomas Waldron, who is employed under
the said Duke in the receipt of the said profits)
whereof the seventeenth [sic for seventh] part
payable to the two Chief Justices amounted to
2l. 11s. 1d., thus leaving only 15l. 6s. 9d., "not
near sufficient to pay the charge of the house in
which the said office is kept" : therefore hereby
the Duke is to be discharged of 413l. 8s. 6d., being
the rents for said Hilary term under his abovesaid
grant. |
