We are very sensible of the interruption and want
of our just revenue for all the time since the Restoration [viz.
the revenue], which heretofore did arise by the liberty of preemption
and exportation of tin in Devon and Cornwall.
Having been informed of some proposals made in 1661 to
Treasurer Southampton by some gentlemen of those counties
for an additional charge of 6s. to be laid on every hundredweight
of tin that shall be coined, in lieu of the pre-emption ;
and being also informed of some other proposals lately made
for a grant of said liberty of pre-emption and exportation as
heretofore was done by Charles I. and James I., whereby a
revenue of 16,000l. per an. was raised, and to the content of
the tinners : you are to summon a convocation of the
Stannaries at the accustomed places, there at their first meeting
only to make choice of persons to attend the King in
Council in Oct. next, with full powers to treat hereon.

Instructions from Treasurer Osborne to the Customs Commissioners.
Upon your query whether English built ships taken
by the enemy and afterwards bought, owned and manned by
English should pay any Custom upon their first coming into
England I do not conceive it reasonable that they should. You
may employ the surveyor of Stockton port and Berwick port in
place of the collectors who left their employment, until fit
collectors can be appointed. I approve your draft letters to
the collectors of the outports about keeping their accounts and
to the patent officers in Ireland about the Plantation trade ;
also your report on Sir Ralph Delavall's request about Seaton
Sluice.

called the Children of the New Royal Foundation and to be
distinguished from other boys by a special badge or cognizance
to be worn upon their blue coats : for which the King grants
to the Governor of said Hospital 1,000l. a year for seven years
from June 24 last, with licence to him to lay out same in the
purchase of lands in fee simple to the uses aforesaid, and to
purchase any other lands not exceeding 1,000l. per an. to them

Treasurer Osborne to Lord Arundell of Trerice. It has been an
ancient practice for the Customs officers of Falmouth to give a
clearing bill to all masters of ships before the officers of
Pendennis Castle did permit the ships to sail out of the
harbour. The Collector of Falmouth has often desired your
inferior officer [in said castle] not to suffer ships to go out
before they produced such a clearing bill. But they have never
yet complied herewith. You are forthwith to command the
officers of said castle not to clear any ships or suffer them to
depart till a clearing bill be had from Falmouth.

Same to the Earl of Essex, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Yours
to hand enclosing the petition of Mr. Jervas, part owner of the
"Katherine," of Dublin, lately arrived from the Plantations.
I send you a copy of the report hereon from the Customs
Commissioners as also of former reports and orders concerning
the like case of the ship "Farewell." From these you will be
convinced of the evil consequences of permitting Plantation
commodities to be landed in Ireland upon any occasion, as
prejudical to the trade of England. Should any pretences of
the ship's being disabled of proceeding home to England be
admitted there is no doubt you will daily meet with contrivances
of that kind. I have been informed of several
Plantation ships that have lately arrived in Ireland without
coming home to England. Send an account hereof. The said
Jervis, part owner of the "Catherine," is a Surveyor of the
Customs, and absolutely debarred by his office from trading.
He must be punished. You must keep all ships strictly to the
law of coming home to England. "My great indisposition
hath hindered me from presenting this to your Excellency
under my own hand."

as the Act directs, to persons that build good and serviceable
ships. For the encouragement of John Embleton, purser of
the ship "Mary Gold," who has discovered some frauds,
you may admit him to an entry of a fangot of silk.
You are to stop the ship "Speedwell," arrived from Ireland
at Liverpool, bound for Virginia, till she enter her goods, pay
custom and give bond for her return hither. As for ships that
have given bond for going coastwise with coal and may by
some extraordinary accident be driven over sea and there
dispose of their lading it is left to your discretion to take off
the duty as for coals bound over sea and not to prosecute the
bonds.
