salted with salt that have not paid [Salt] Duties are by an Act of
1 Queen Anne prohibited to be imported into any port of England;
and there being now several French prizes laden with cod fish taken
at Newfoundland and cured there, which if landed and condemned and
sold as prize and no care taken to prevent a drawback on exportation
will be very prejudicial to the [Salt Duty] revenue. Ibid., p. 481. |
