few people will venture to buy them, paying the
duty for them, and petitioner is not able to lay
down so much ready money as the [Customs] charge
is, and would therefore be obliged to sell them to
the proprietors, who will export them beyond
seas and thereby avoid paying the duty : whereupon
the Queen is pleased to remit the duty. |

Treasury warrant to the Customs Commissioners to
remit the King's part of the forfeiture of the lading

it appearing by the petition of Daniel Kroger of
East Smithfield, co. Midd., shipbroker, on behalf of
himself and Bartho[lomew] Parckman, master
of the said ship, that the forfeiture was due to
Kroger's unintentional mistake in making a short
report of the lading, viz. 39 instead of 59 boxes ;
although he paid the full Custom of the 59 even
before discovery of the mistake ; for which reason
the Customs Commissioners discouraged the officers
to prosecute and are still of opinion that it is a
hardship on the petitioner. |

Same to Walter Laycock, Surveyor General of Woods,

it being certified by the woodward, four of the
verderers and two of the regarders of said forest
Feb. 5 last that since the marking of the said trees
many of them upon their fall are very much shaken
and rotten and do not answer the expectation of
value set upon them and that the top, lop and
bark thereof being of small value will be little
enough to make up the full value of 1,500l. |
