the proposals of Peter Carew as by a reference
from the King of the 4th inst. |
Reference Book III, p. 141. |
|
Prefixing: paper of said proposals: shewing that
"after your Majesty's royal father [sic] had caused
the Woodmongers' charter to be dissolved about
12 years ago by reason of their extortions in combining to raise the price of coals, some other persons
driving the coal trade do daily practice the same
thing; and it being free by law for every one to
sell coals many of other trades do sell the same
oppressing the poor by many frauds, one under
another, whereby they [the poor] are much wronged
in their measures and the high prices [the traders]
do continually combine to have them sold for per
chalder": that having considered the measures at
Newcastle, at the Pool in the river of Thames, at the
wharves and as retailed to the poor respectively
I am able to make out that if said trade were
managed by Commissioners the King would gain
near 50,000l. per an. "and the Commissioners be
limited not to raise the price above 22s. per chalder
just measure at any time of the year." I have
considered what number of ships your Majesty may
need to build or buy for this use and have conferred
with people who will provide same and be reimbursed out of the profits [provided] that they may
have timber out of the [royal] forests to build such
ships and [protection] to take up ballast in the river
etc. without molestation of the patentees. Such
ships may on occasion be serviceable as fireships
and will provide 3,000 sailors in readiness on all
occasions. Therefore prays a reference hereof to
persons expert in navigation etc. |
