Ibid, pp. 198–200. |
|
Appending: said presentment to the Treasury Lords. By our presentment of [1694], May 22, we laid before you the instructions we had prepared for putting in execution the Act [5 and 6 Wm. and Mary, c. 20] for the said Duty and for the collection of same in the outports and the allowance proper to be made to Sir John Shaw, who collects the Foreign Duty, Sir Nicho. Crisp, who receives the Coast Duty, and Mr. Backwell, who keeps a comptroll upon both the said collectors' accompts of the said revenue in London port. For the saving of charge we then proposed to use the Customs boats and officers, but did not fix the latters'
remuneration. We now propose an allowance of 3s. per ship to the persons employed in the actual admeasurement of every ship, great or small, in London port, or the outports; the said 3s. to be divided thus, viz. in London port 6d. per ship to the watermen attending the admeasurers, the remaining 2s. 6d. to be divided equally among the principal admeasurers who are always to be three in number at each admeasurement. |
|
For the more regular admeasurement in London port we took the assistance of Walter Henshaw and James Meyor, two men of art in the business of gauging. Henshaw joined the officers in the said work for some time, but finding it inconvenient to him in his private business desired to be excused. We propose to give him 10l. reward, he having given great [in] sight and instruction to the officers in the business of gauging for two months' time. We propose an allowance of 6l. to Meyor, besides his share in the said 2s. 6d. per ship, as he has no other relation to the revenue than as assistant in the admeasurement. In the outports we propose that the 3s. be equally divided among the persons concerned by the port collector. |
|
Mr. Colt, the collector of Bristol port, reports that the officers there are obliged to give more than ordinary attendance upon this business by reason of the particular incommodiousness of the river. We propose an additional 10l. to them for one quarter [of a year] only, to be distributed equally by the collector. |
|
In some of the outports the officers are obliged to travel several miles by land from the principal place to measure ships arriving and discharging at creeks. We propose an allowance of 3d. per mile for their travelling charges. |
|
For the clerical work of receiving and accompting we propose 4d. per ship to the port collector and 2d. per ship to the port comptroller: also 2d. per ship to the examiners in London port who are appointed to revise and check the calculations. |
|
For rendering the accounts more easy and perspicuous we have thought fit to keep a Register and Alphabetical List of all ships imported and measured in London and the outports and we propose 2d. a ship for the clerks employed in this service: also 2d. a ship to the clerks that make up the account of ships imported and measured in London port and the outports respectively: also 2d. per ship to the clerks in the [Customs] Secretary's Office and the Office of the Comptroller General of the [Customs] Accounts in view of the increase of service which has happened by reason of this duty. |
|
The total clerical charge is therefore 1s. per ship, which makes the full charge of admeasurement 4s. per ship. |
| July 9. |
Treasury warrant to the Customs Commissioners to insert on the establishment an allowance of 100l. per an. to Richard Bretton, customer of Sandwich port; to be as from June 24 last till the end of the war: he having served as collector at Dover, a member of Sandwich port, for near 20 years without any salary or allowance, in which collection his predecessor had 100l. per an.: it appearing that during the present war the patent fees and profits of this office are near lost and yet the trouble in this collection very much increased chiefly by the late imposts and additional duties and the constant care for the security of the duty on prize goods brought into Dover port which are subject to great embezzlements, besides the general inspection incumbent on him into the carriage and behaviour of the several officers within the whole county of Kent, visiting them on divers occasions and making very effectual returns. |

Treasury warrant to Sir Thomas Trevor, Attorney General, to enter a noli prosequi to the information against William Malthus of London, merchant, who in Aug., 1693, freighted a ship called the Exchange, English built, owned and manned, to Norway for deals, which she discharged in London port, and then she went to the West Indies: it appearing that the shortage of her English manning amounts to only a part of a man, there being seven men in the voyage to Norway besides Geo. Hoyle, the master, and of the said seven Joseph Pulman and John Wilson were born in England of English parents, John Moyet was born in Ireland, two men were housekeepers in Wapping and were hired as English. |

The said 158l. 8s. 0d. is to be satisfied out of such moneys as said Davenport shall pay into the Exchequer, viz. 155l. 12s. 0d. on the Poll of 2 Wm. and Mary and 2l. 16s. 0d. on the Poll of 4 Wm. and Mary.

the residue is satisfied by allowance in their account.
