the Lord Steward [of the Household], Earls of
Shrewsbury, Nottingham, Fauconberg and Marlborough,
Visct. Lumley, the Comptroller [of the
Household], Mr. Harbord). Being informed that
several ships have sailed out of port and that others
are waiting an opportunity to do the same from

Whitehall, Mar. 6 inst., directing the Customs
Commissioners to do as they see fit in the matter
of the petition of Sir Benj. Ayloffe of London for
himself and friends : said petition setting forth that
by reason of the present wars ships are scarce, so that
they cannot supply themselves therewith sufficient
[tonnage] for the Swedish trade to bring from thence
hemp etc., and therefore praying, ut supra, p. 501 :
upon which petition the Customs Commissioners
have reported Feb. 27 ult. that it is doubtful whether
upon the strictest construction of the Navigation
Act [Section 4 of the Act 12 Car. II, c. 18] the said
goods may not be legally imported in such shipping
as is desired [viz. in ships of the Duke of Courland
from Riga, a city under the King of Sweden],
"Courland being alleged to be a feudatory of the
kingdom of Poland, of which the goods are the
growth ; and at this time especially (considering
the difficulty upon English shipping by reason of
the war) it ought to be construed in favour of the
petitioners." |
