Towns of the said Kingdom, where Currants are
daily imported, whereby the Benefit of the said Ordinance cannot be made useful for the Public Good
of the Kingdom as was intended: The Lords and
Commons now assembled in Parliament do Order,
Ordain, and Declare, That, from and after the 12th
Day of February last, it shall and may be lawful to
and for all Merchants of the Levant Company, by
Way of Merchandize, or otherwise, to import in
English Bottoms any Currants of the Growth of Zant
and Cepholonia, and to land them into the Port of
London, or any other Port within the Power of the
Parliament, within Twelve Months next after the
Publication of this Ordinance, from any Ports beyond the Seas, paying Six Shillings per Cent. for
every Hundred Weight of the said Currants, over
and above the Customs and Excise due for the same,
the said Ordinance of Prohibition to the contrary in
any wise notwithstanding; and the Commissioners of
the Customs are hereby required to take Entries for
the said Currants, and to receive of the said Merchants the said Six Shillings per Cent. for every Hundred Weight, over and above the Custom and Excise as
aforesaid; and the Proceed of the said Six Shillings
per Cent. the said Commissioners are hereby required
to pay over to Nathaniell Stephens, Thomas Hodges,
and Thomas Pury, Esquires, Members of the House
