Report from the Committee, to consider of the Balance of Trade, concerning Exports and Imports; and concerning the Proprietary Colonies being subject to the Plantation Laws, and general Laws for Trade.
The Earl of Manchester reported from the Lords
Committees appointed to consider of Papers delivered
from the Commissioners of the Customs the Thirtieth
of December last, as follows; (videlicet,)
"That their Lordships, on Consideration of the said
Papers touching the Balance of Trade, referred to
them, have had the Commissioners and Officers for
the Customs before them; and their Lordships find,
that to have a perfect Account of the Exportations
and Importations, will take up more Time than they
apprehend this Session will afford.
"That the said Commissioners have begun the Work,
in Pursuance of their Lordships Order, and have shewed
some Specimens thereof; and are directed, by their
Lordships, to proceed therein for the Three last Years;
and that they give as particular Account of the several Sorts of Manufactures for the Time to come as
they can, with the least Prejudice to the Merchants
that may be.
"That whereas the Commissioners of Customs had
said, "The several Plantations under Proprietors by
Grants from the Crown were subject to the Acts for
Trade, and other Plantation Laws, in like Manner as
are all other the English Plantations;" yet they are
now become sensible, that it would be necessary to
strengthen the Acts of Navigation, for a further Security of the Trade of those Plantations; and they
are in great Forwardness to offer some Bills to that
Purpose.
"Their Lordships likewise took Notice to them of
their Letter, which they had prepared to send, as
from themselves, to the several Governors of those
Plantations, under the distinct Proprietors; which their
Lordships recommended to them, to make Application
to the Lords of the Treasury, that they would move
the Council, "That Letters to that Effect might be
sent from the Council, as more effectual to the Preservation of the Trade in those Parts;" which the Commissioners have likewise informed their Lordships
they have since done, and that it is in a Way to be
dispatched accordingly."
