VI, c. 37, on penalty of double value and 10l. for every 1,000 [lb.] weight, they being ingorant of the said law and intending no fraud : the Customs Commissioners having reported that the said Statute is a confirmation of a former Statute of 33 Henry VIII, c. 7, the reason for which Statute seems to them to be altered, the same being grounded upon a supposition that other realms and countries were by reason of such exportation filled with artillery and munition and this kingdom [of England] like to want [for the same] and that they are inclinable to believe that the said Statute being old and little notice having been taken thereof of late years, these petitioners were innocently led into this mistake, as they entered the copper openly and were not admonished by the Customs officers, so that it seems the said Statute had slipped out of the memory of the officers as well : and the Statute has now been complied with by the searchers having prevented the exportation of this copper.
