Report concerning Port Books in Queen's Remembrancer's Office in the Exchequer.
The Lord Halifax reported from the Lords Committees, appointed to inquire into the State and Condition
of the Queen's Remembrancer's Books and Port Books,
&c. as follows; (videlicet,)
"That, in Obedience to the Orders of the House,
their Lordships have summoned Mr. Stevens, Deputy
to the Queen's Remembrancer, several Times. They
have spoke with some of the Commissioners of the
Customs, and the Patent Officers in the Port of London; and, by the Informations they have received from
them, the Lords Committees find,
That, in Hilary and Trinity Term every Year, there
are sent, from the Office of the Queen's Remembrancer, Blank Parchment Books, under the Seal of the
Exchequer, to the Patent Officers in the several Ports
of England and Wales; in which Books the said Patent
Officers are to make Entries of all the Goods and Merchandizes imported and exported, and of Goods carried Coastwise between Port and Port; which Books
are to be returned in Michaelmas and Easter Terms,
and delivered in upon Oath by the said Officers, that
they have made all true Entries in the same, which
Oath is to be taken in open Court, or before One of
the Barons.
"These Books were very ancient, and were particularly regulated by Orders made by Queen Elizabeth
under the Great Seal. These necessary Records,
wherein only the Entries of the Customs appear upon
Oath, have been of late much neglected: The Lords
Committees went themselves, to see in what Manner
they were kept; and found them laid together in Two
upper Rooms behind the Court of Exchequer, without any Distinction of Years or Ports, in the greatest
Disorder and Confusion.
"There are some Books in the Time of Henry the
VIIIth, and in all the succeeding Reigns; there are few
from 1648 to 1660, and those chiefly of Goods
carried Coastwise.
"Mr. Stevens, by Order of the Lords Committees, had
caused most of the Port Books from 1660, of the Ports
of London and Southampton, to be laid in some Order:
But it will require Time and Charge to lay the other
Out Port Books in such Order, as Extracts may be
taken from them of the Trade and Commerce with
any Foreign Nation; for some of the Port Books of
those Years have been found in a Ground Room
under Part of the Court of Exchequer, intermixed
with several other Books and Papers; some of which
other Records, Books, and Papers, may be of public
Use and Service, if they were likewise put in Order."
Which Report being read by the Clerk, and Consideration had thereof:
Address for putting the Port Books in Order.
It is Ordered, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That an humble Address
be presented to Her Majesty, "That Her Majesty will
be pleased to give Order, that the Port Books, in the
Remembrancer's Office in the Court of Exchequer,
may be placed and kept in such Order, as may render
them most useful for Her Majesty's Service; and that
Her Majesty will please to direct that an Extract be
made, out of the said Books, of the Value of the Exports and Imports between England and France, from
Michaelmas. 1662 to Michaelmas 1663, and from Michaelmas 1665 to Michaelmas 1666."
Ordered, That the said Address be presented to
Her Majesty by the Lord High Treasurer of Great Britain.
