Warrant, under the royal sign manual, appointing Edward Diggs
Agent at Virginia for taking accounts of ladings of tobacco.
"Having found it convenient for our service that a true and
just accompt be returned us of all tobaccos that shall henceforth
at any time be exported from Virginia, as also of all foreign
built ships that shall come there, and that all ships arriving
there from England, or that shall be built in the Country, or
shall come from any other of our Plantations that have not
given bond for their coming into our Kingdom of England, &c.
or to unlade at our said Plantations should enter into such
bonds according to law: we have therefore given direction to
our Governor not to permit any of the said ships to be laden
until they have given such bonds." You are appointed to see
that said bonds be duly entered into, and to take an account of
all such ships and also of all other ships that are now arrived
or shall arrive with you that have given bond for their return;
with the names of the ships and masters and port to which
they are bound, with a particular of the number of hogsheads,
quantity of bulke or other parcel of tobacco laden on board
them and to take an exact accompt of all tobacco laden on
board any vessels from the neighbouring Plantations, with the
names of the ship and master and to what place bound: and
to make diligent enquiry whether or no any foreign ships
prohibited to trade in our Plantations shall arrive in Virginia,
and if you discover any such that you give intimation to the
Governor thereof that they may be effectually proceeded
against: and to transmit to the Customs Commissioners, in

the lading of all ships as aforesaid: with a salary of 250l.
per an. payable by the Receiver General of Customs. |

Royal sign manual to the Governor of Virginia. We have put
the Customs in the hands of Commissioners whereof the duty
on the tobaccos of Virginia are a considerable branch. We
are informed of sundry indirect practices for defrauding us of
that duty by ships sailing hence without giving bond for their
return as by law is enjoined, and foreign vessels which through
too much connivance are suffered to lade there yet come not into
our Dominions to make their discharge, and by many other
small vessels that come from the neighbouring Plantations and
take in tobaccos for other parts, but sail not into our Kingdoms
to pay the Customs: as also that divers ships which have
given bonds to return for England do obscure a great part of
their lading and so wrong us of much of their customs. For
prevention hereof for the future you are to cause a strict
examination to be taken of the commanders and masters
of all English ships that henceforth shall arrive in your
Government [as to] whether they have given bonds
for their return to England. And in case they have
not or if any ships are or shall be built in Virginia that intend
to come for England you are not to suffer any of them to be
laden till they have given bond to come into some part of
England to discharge their whole ladings [so] that they may
pay us our Customs due by law: and also to take bonds from
all vessels that shall come from any other Plantation. The
security of such bond to be approved by Edwd. Diggs whom we
have appointed to take care of same and to transmit copies of
said bonds to the Customs Commissioners in London. And if
any foreign ships shall come within your government you are
to put our laws in due execution against them. In all which
you are to proceed according to the Act for regulating the
Plantation trade made in the 12th, 15th and 23rd of our reign. |
