The Treasury Lords to the Revenue Commissioners, Ireland. By reason of our not meeting constantly at this time of the year we have only this day read your account of the revenue [of Ireland] for the first half year. You have not given particularly an account of what has been actually received in money either from the ale licences due at Easter last or the half year's Hearthmoney or half year's quit rents "which you seem to have sent us a computation of as they may probably arise rather than an account." Be very particular in these and let us know what is still standing out upon these branches and also what is not actually paid of the items "represented as paid because it should be so." "Be the more careful in this because already several people here do take upon them to make objections to the account which you have sent over, of which they had knowledge only by common fame, grounded as we suppose on informations they have had from that side of the water." Your complaint concerning the Isle of Man as in yours of Aug. 1st inst. we have sent to the Customs Commissioners. The other paper relating to the lowering the duty on brandy shall
be laid before the King. We enclose you a paper just received containing observations on the account you sent us. |

The Treasury Lords dated from Windsor to the Earl of Arran, Lord Deputy of Ireland. The Customs Commissioners, England, have desired the taking off of one halfpenny per lb. on all tobacco shipped from England into Ireland by cocquet. This has been communicated to the Revenue Commissioners, Ireland, and laid before the King and it is his pleasure that said halfpenny be taken off. It appears that this matter has not yet been communicated to you. It is therefore the King's pleasure that you take the advice of the Privy Council [Ireland] hereupon and if there be no objection then to put this order in execution "in regard that it is now the season of the year when ships are preparing for Virginia and other of his Majesty's Plantations from whence tobacco is imported and
it will be of much concern to his Majesty's Customs that it may be now known to merchants that the said one halfpenny per lb. in Ireland is declared to be taken off, because it may influence them in the directions they are to give to the masters of ships before their setting sail," and so his Majesty's Customs have the benefit thereof this next year. |
