Report to the King from Treasurer Southampton and Lord Ashley, on the order of reference from the Privy Council of May 22 last, of the proposition for making the port of Dover a free port for Composition trade. Suitably to the opinion of the Council of Trade and the Customs Commissioners, are of opinion that Dover is the most fit and proper port in the kingdom for a Composition trade, in respect of its situation, buildings, warehouses, and from its having formerly been a port of free trade, and therefore more likely to be frequented. Think best not to limit it to the port, but to extend the liberty to Dover Road and the Downs, where the merchants may have liberty to change bottoms for any part of Europe into English shipping, they paying their duties as in the port itself, and their entries thereof being kept in the port: paying at the importation one per cent. as in the present book of rates, and one fourth per cent. on exportation; and whenever the goods imported and laid up shall be consumed within the kingdom, then to pay all duties and payments as are due by law; or if they lie in the said warehouses and not reshipt in 12 months after entry, then to pay said full duties. Propose rates for all Portugal, Rhenish, French, and Spanish wines; Spanish tobacco; battery, linens, or stuffs. "A free trade thus settled we conceive might conduce to the advantage of your Majesties Customes and the good of that towne. But how farr it wilbe beneficiall to either in respect of those tyes and observances that are put upon trade by the late Act of Navigation, without some triall and experience we cannot yet determine, the farmers of your Majesties Customes certifying that for the advance of trade there wilbe a necessity of some dispensacion to bee made of the said Act; and the Councell of Trade being of opinion that that Act bee inviolably kept. The [late Customs] Farmers would not extend this dispensation to your Majesties Plantationes, nor doe wee thinke it becomes us to extend it to other forraine goods without that dispensacion bee allowed by your Matie, and the Lords of the Councell. And if by them it is not allowed, the question wilbe whether the towne and merchants will endeavour the setting up of this trade, which wee thinke fit shall continue at first for three yeares, and if your Matie thinke fit to continue it noe longer to give warning to the merchant for dissolving it. ... All other particulers concerning this trade both as it relates to the registring and entring of the merchandises, to the ordering of the factorage, so as your Matie bee not defrauded your duties, to the permission of [the import or export of] bullion, plate, and forrayne coyne which heretofore was a great part of the Dover trade and may happily meete with a conjuncture of tyme when it may bee brought back againe, and all other things of this nature which cannot now bee foreseene may bee reduced into articles betwixt the Commissioners or farmers of your Mats Customes and the merchants." Ibid. VI. pp. 218–9.

Said assessments flowed from a particular rather than a public authority. Are irresolute what to determine as to it, for if a commission issues it might be vexatious to many persons in those counties, for the collectors and receivers themselves were probably loyal.
