341l. 1s. 6¼d. to William Christian, customer of
Carlisle port and late collector of Whitehaven port,
on his payment of 21l. 8s. 3d., being the balance
of the 362l. 9s. 9¼d. due on his accounts for said

Christian was at considerable charge and

Treasury warrant to the Attorney General to enter
a noli prosequi to the information entered in the
Exchequer by John Greathead against John Green,
Jacob Cozon and Tho. Smith, merchants, for entering
3 tons 1 cwt. of copper of the growth of England
as wrought copper, by reason that all unwrought
copper is prohibited to be exported by an old
Statute of 2 and 3 Edw. VI, c. 37, on penalty of
double value and 10l. for every 1,000 [lb.] weight,
they being ingorant of the said law and intending
no fraud : the Customs Commissioners having
reported that the said Statute is a confirmation
of a former Statute of 33 Henry VIII, c. 7, the
reason for which Statute seems to them to be
altered, the same being grounded upon a supposition
that other realms and countries were by reason of
such exportation filled with artillery and munition
and this kingdom [of England] like to want [for the
same] and that they are inclinable to believe that
the said Statute being old and little notice having
been taken thereof of late years, these petitioners
were innocently led into this mistake, as they
entered the copper openly and were not admonished
by the Customs officers, so that it seems the said
Statute had slipped out of the memory of the officers
as well : and the Statute has now been complied
with by the searchers having prevented the exportation
of this copper. |

for so long and with so much of the arrear profits
thereof as to discharge the bond as follows and
interest thereon : he to render a true account of
the profits : commissions to be issued for finding
