demand from the late Farmers of the Four
and a Half per cent, the duty on the sugars etc.
shipped to England for the said Farmers since 1684,
Christmas, being after their farm was expired,
though collected during the time of the farm; the
said Farmers having submitted to the Lord
Treasurer's determination their pretence to pay no
duty thereon. The said duty being settled by an
Act of the Government and Assembly of Barbados
is payable on all dead commodities of the growth
or produce of said island that shall be shipped
thence and the goods in question have been shipped
since the said revenue came under the management
of the Customs Commissioners, England. |

Commissioners having certified the 29th ult. that
they see no reason why the King should discount
after that rate, moneys being more plentiful now
than, as they suppose, they were at that time; and
the East India Company having agreed to 6 per
cent. as a sufficient allowance. |

stalks were imported into England from Holland
and that by a new invention of rolling and pressing
it supplies the [place and] use of tobacco to the great
prejudice of the revenue, wherefore they ordered
same to be seized in the ports under the Act of
Frauds; the said Commissioners having at first
thought of destroying the above parcel as a nuisance,
being appraised at an inconsiderable value, viz.,
only 15l. 0s. 6d., but they find that said commodity
being now grown very much in demand, the same
[parcel] is worth upwards of 200l. which is nearly
what the duty would be on so much neat tobacco. |
