Earl and Killner : all their accounts in the premises
to be allowed by the Treasury Lords : with power to
the said Lords to make compositions with said

to the said Company to make war against the
Mogul of Hindustan and his Nabob of Decca or

Merchant to assist the said Company in such war :
by virtue of which commissions several ships,
vessels, jewels, sums of money, goods, wares etc. have
been taken by said commanders from said Mogul
or his subjects or other people in the East Indies,
of all which a true accompt ought to have been
kept and adjudications had thereon in the Admiralty
and a tenth thereof answered to the King according
to the tenour of said commissions, but it is represented
by said Whitfeild, Earl and Kilner that
said Company or their Generals, Presidents, Agents
etc. have not answered the said tenth part and
do hitherto unjustly detain and withhold same :
wherefore the King is resolved that they shall be
brought to make true accompts. |

native commodities of tin and fish and with power
to give coast despatches for all goods inwards and
outwards and to depute the present riding surveyor
as collector there with an addition of 10l. to his
present salary ; said addition to be for a clerk :
all by reason that the mayor etc. of Helston have
petitioned shewing that from time immemorial a
Custom House has been settled in Helford harbour
for entry of imports and exports of Helston, which
is one of the ancientest Corporations in Cornwall
[and is] the original coinage town for the Stannary
of Penrith and Kerrier ; that the trade of said
town has been lately as great as ever it was, there
being several considerable merchants residing in
it, some whereof have interest in shipping, which
would increase but for the discouragement they are
under by removing the Custom House out of their
harbour ; that the town of Falmouth, where they
are now constrained to enter their goods both
inwards and outwards though in never so small
parcels, is ten miles distant and so obliquely situated
that no one wind will serve for sailing from one
port to the other, to the hazard and delay of their
voyage : therefore praying the re-establishment of
a collection at Helford in accordance with the
report made in 1684 by [Mr. Culliford] the [Customs]
Surveyor General [of the Western ports] : on which
said petitions the Customs Commissioners reported
the 17th inst. that they have heard the officers of
Falmouth port and Sir Peter Killigrew on behalf
of that [Falmouth] port and Mr. Godolphin on
behalf of petitioners and think that the establishment
of a limited collection at Gweek as above
would be a reasonable accommodation to petitioners
and no prejudice to the revenue. |
