April 21	Treasurer Southampton and Lord Ashley to the Justices of Peace of Essex concerning the compalints made by the Farmers of Excise of said county of the undue reversing of judgments duly and legally made by said Farmers. With a view to the better information of said Justices send herewith certain resolutions on particulars which are likely to come most frequently before them, viz. as to taking the witness of gaugers in informations against brewers, the brewers' liability to make a weekly entry, the gauger's right of access to the brewhouse and the prompt payment of fines. "If by comparing the cases now complained of with these resolutions it shall appeare as noe doubt it may, that your proceedings have beene erroneous, wee doe expect that by your means the partye on whose behalf the judgmts have beene reversed be brought to give the Farmers that satisfaction which the lawe directs; otherwise there will be a necessity of a more severe course of proceeding." Recommend them further to inform themselves of the contents of the Excise Acts.	Ibid, pp. 190–1.
