that a German merchant who has resided a long
time in England has undertaken to introduce to
England (mener en ce royaume) a wine (petit vin)
which grows several leagues from Berlin in the
neighbourhood of Potsdam and of which his Electoral
Highness has several years' supply, but as the
merchant cannot make profit if the wine bears
the same duty as the wines of France etc., therefore
the said Envoy in the name of his Electoral Highness
prays some favour to be shown to said merchant's
enterprise in the remission or diminution of duties
on this 'petit' wine ; the present transaction
consisting of 60 tons. This favour would be agreeable
to the Elector and would open the way to a
little commerce which would not be disagreeable
to the English nation, particularly at this time
when the French wines are forbidden. |

Treasury warrant to the Customs Commissioners to
permit John Rawlinson of London, merchant, to
enter the Swan pink and her lading as follows on
security that nothing but the cargo from the West
Indies be imported therein : it appearing that he
sent said pink, English built, 160 tons, to the
Leeward Islands and gave bond for her return to
England, but in her return she was taken and
carried to France, where at his great charge he
procured her discharge and liberty to the master
and men to return to England without any exchange
for them : the Customs Commissioners having
reported Feb. 26 last that the capture and constraint,
and the redemption by the first proprietors without
any alteration or admixture of the lading seemed
to be proved by the affidavits of the petitioner and

master of the pink, and thereupon the King in
Council having ordered Feb. 27, ut supra, p. 525,
upon which the Customs Commissioners again
reported Mar. 4 inst. a further affidavit of John

taken into St. Malo, proffered his proprietors should

is going over to fetch said ship and guarantees she
has no French goods on board. |
