Same to the Salt Commissioners enclosing (a) infra. You are to
govern yourselves thereby in the case of Mr. Johnson now before
you and in all other cases of the like nature.
Appending : (a) Statement of opinion by Sir Edward Northey,
Attorney General, dated Feb. 5 on a case as follows : viz : touching fish
imported from Ireland and the debenture allowances (on exportation
thereof) in respect of the Duties on Salt ; the said allowances,
detailed, being so great by the Salt Duty Acts that it has been found
by experience that many frauds have been committed by exporting
fish that were cured with salt that had not paid the Duties and by
re-landing and re-importing fish which had obtained the said allowances :
for prevention whereof provision was made as in the Act of
1 Anne c. 21. The said case hereunder is as follows : "A. B.
merchant at L. has imported there from Ireland 157 barrels of white
herrings which as he alleges were cured in that kingdom : the officer
of the port at L. seized the said herrings, no oath being made as
required by the abovesaid Act of 1 Anne : (1) are the said herrings
forfeited and double value thereof ? (2) If the taking and curing
in Ireland be deemed not to be English taking under the statutes
giving allowances upon exportation by virtue of the Act of Frauds
of 14 Car. II c. 11, are the herrings thereby forfeited ?
Hereupon the Attorney General is of opinion (1) that fish taken
and cured by the Irish in Ireland and imported into England are
not within the Act of Anne and therefore are not forfeited for want
of the master's oath as therein. By 15 Car. II, c. 7, [clause 7] English
taken fish is such as is imported in English built ships or ships belonging
to England, Wales and Berwick with three fourths English mariners :
(2) the importing this fish is not prohibited by 18 Car. II, c. 2, "for
that the Irish are not foreigners and aliens to this kingdom but
Denizens though they are not Englishmen." The Act of 14 Car. II,
c. 11, is not material as it concerns not fishing but only shipping.
