B02610	The case of several thousands concerned and employed about the importation and working of iron wire		1689 (1689)	Wing C987; ESTC R170978	1,975	1

the_o case_n of_o several_a thousand_o concern_v and_o employ_v in_o and_o about_o the_o importation_n and_o work_v of_o iron_n wire_n by_o the_o statute_n of_o 3_o edw._n 4_o cap._n 4._o among_o divers_a other_o thing_n the_o importation_n and_o vend_v of_o foreign_a white_a iron_n thread_n common_o call_v white-wire_n be_v prohibit_v under_o the_o forfeiture_n thereof_o and_o by_o the_o statute_n 1_o rich._n 3._o cap._n 12._o the_o importation_n of_o all_o iron-wire_n by_o alien_n be_v prohibit_v under_o the_o like_a penalty_n there_o be_v and_o always_o have_v be_v several_a sort_n of_o foreign_a iron-wire_n know_v by_o several_a distinct_a name_n which_o be_v not_o cardwire_n nor_o call_v white-wire_n which_o in_o all_o time_n ever_o since_o the_o statute_n of_o 3_o edw._n 4._o have_v be_v import_v by_o denizen_n and_o pay_v the_o duty_n require_v by_o law_n and_o be_v never_o look_v upon_o to_o be_v prohibit_v by_o the_o say_a statute_n as_o cardwire_n and_o sort_n fine_a be_v the_o several_a sort_n of_o iron-wire_n which_o be_v large_a than_o cardwire_n be_v always_o import_v without_o restraint_n a_o further_a duty_n therefore_o be_v lay_v upon_o the_o same_o as_o appear_v by_o the_o book_n of_o rate_n 12_o car._n 2._o and_o the_o old_a duty_n of_o 5_o s._n per_fw-la c._n weight_n be_v advance_v to_o 7_o s._n 6_o d._n the_o parliament_n take_v notice_n that_o notwithstanding_o the_o say_a statute_n 3_o edw._n 4._o great_a quantity_n of_o cardwire_n be_v import_v to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o woolen_n manufacture_n do_v by_o a_o act_n make_v the_o 14_o car._n 2._o cap._n 19_o restrain_v the_o importation_n of_o any_o foreign_a wool_n card_n or_o foreign_a cardwire_n or_o wire_n for_o make_v card_n nevertheless_o the_o importation_n of_o all_o other_o foreign_a wire_n by_o denizen_n be_v allow_v and_o practise_v as_o appear_v by_o the_o custom-house-book_n till_o about_o twelve_o year_n since_o one_o conen_n a_o dutchman_n but_o naturalize_a import_v some_o sort_n of_o iron-wire_n large_a than_o cardwire_n under_o the_o supposition_n that_o it_o be_v import_v by_o a_o alien_n it_o be_v seize_v after_o the_o duty_n pay_v and_o under_o colour_n of_o a_o verdict_n upon_o the_o say_a seizure_n no_o foreign_a wire_n have_v be_v suffer_v to_o be_v import_v to_o the_o great_a impoverishment_n and_o almost_o ruin_n of_o many_o family_n the_o than_o prosecutor_n pretend_v to_o furnish_v the_o trader_n concern_v therein_o with_o sufficient_a iron-wire_n of_o his_o own_o manufacture_n which_o he_o have_v in_o no_o sort_n perform_v therefore_o the_o trader_n and_o dealer_n in_o iron-wire_n do_v humble_o offer_v the_o reason_n follow_v for_o the_o importation_n of_o all_o wire_n except_o cardwire_n or_o wire_n of_o a_o lesser_a size_n 1._o because_o many_o necessary_a trade_n and_o manufacture_n can_v be_v carry_v on_o or_o support_v without_o the_o foreign_a wire_n the_o english_a wire_n be_v of_o a_o soft_a hollow_a nature_n and_o apt_a to_o cleave_v be_v not_o so_o serviceable_a as_o the_o foreign_a wire_n the_o trader_n who_o be_v chief_o concern_v herein_o be_v tin-plate-worker_n wire-drawer_n hetchel-maker_n for_o dress_v hemp_n and_o flax_n screen_v maker_n for_o corn_n brazier_n wire-worker_n hook_n and_o eye-maker_n ship-lanthorn-maker_n boxmaker_n tobacco-pipe-maker_n and_o many_o other_o 2._o because_o they_o have_v not_o nor_o indeed_o can_v be_v in_o any_o measure_n supply_v with_o english_a wire_n sufficient_a for_o the_o several_a artificer_n concern_v therein_o 3._o because_o as_o the_o english_a wire_n be_v not_o so_o good_a nor_o fit_a for_o many_o use_v so_o it_o be_v far_o dear_a the_o foreign_a wire_n call_v fine_a be_v to_o be_v afford_v at_o 4_o s._n notwithstanding_o it_o pay_v a_o four_o penny_n custom_n when_o for_o the_o english_a be_v exact_v 6_o s._n 8_o d._n for_o the_o like_a size_n and_o quantity_n beside_o those_o person_n in_o who_o hand_n the_o sole_a make_n of_o all_o english_a wire_n remain_v take_v the_o advantage_n of_o the_o great_a necessity_n the_o poor_a handicraft_n be_v in_o at_o this_o time_n for_o want_v of_o wire_n have_v within_o these_o few_o day_n advance_v their_o english_a wire_n 5_o l._n per_fw-la cent._n 4._o because_o if_o this_o prohibition_n be_v continue_v their_o majesty_n will_v great_o lose_v in_o their_o custom_n the_o duty_n upon_o foreign_a wire_n have_v former_o yield_v about_o 5000_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la custom_n when_o the_o duty_n be_v but_o at_o 7_o s._n 6_o d._n per_fw-la cent._n weight_n i._n but_o it_o may_v be_v object_v how_o have_v this_o nation_n be_v supply_v since_o the_o late_a verdict_n resp_n 1._o very_o great_a quantity_n be_v clandestine_o import_v much_o of_o which_o be_v seize_v and_o condemn_v in_o the_o exchequer_n and_o sell_v public_o as_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o custom-house-officer_n 2._o great_a quantity_n be_v import_v under_o the_o denomination_n of_o steel-wire_n and_o pay_v the_o duty_n as_o such_o but_o these_o private_a practice_n be_v suppress_v it_o be_v now_o full_o evident_a that_o the_o iron-wire_n make_v in_o england_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o supply_v the_o market_n ii_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o a_o large_a imposition_n will_v encourage_v clandestine_v importation_n resp_n the_o height_n of_o the_o price_n of_o the_o english_a iron_n wire_n above_o the_o foreign_a wire_n and_o that_o be_v under_o a_o prohibition_n and_o not_o a_o sufficient_a quantity_n of_o the_o english_a wire_n be_v make_v will_v doubtless_o more_o encourage_v and_o almost_o necessitate_v clandestine_v importation_n iii_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o if_o this_o sort_n of_o wire_n be_v permit_v to_o be_v import_v it_o will_v ruin_v very_o many_o family_n who_o be_v sole_o employ_v in_o the_o make_n of_o wire_n here_o in_o england_n resp_n 1._o there_o be_v but_o about_o a_o hundred_o person_n in_o england_n that_o be_v employ_v therein_o who_o nevertheless_o can_v want_v work_n though_o this_o permission_n be_v grant_v 2._o whereas_o there_o be_v now_o employ_v not_o above_o 100_o man_n in_o manufacture_v the_o rough_a english_a wire_n it_o be_v make_v by_o water_n engine_n there_o be_v at_o least_o a_o hundred_o time_n the_o number_n employ_v in_o draw_v cardwire_n by_o hand_n and_o other_o necessary_a uses_n of_o iron-wire_n who_o will_v equal_o be_v employ_v by_o the_o foreign_a rough_a iron-wire_n as_o by_o the_o english_a iv._o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o it_o will_v extreme_o lower_v the_o price_n of_o our_o english_a wire_n to_o the_o great_a disencouragement_n of_o the_o dealer_n therein_o resp_n if_o a_o duty_n of_o 15_o s._n per_fw-la cent_n or_o more_o be_v impose_v upon_o it_o as_o general_o all_o dealer_n in_o wire_n will_v be_v very_o well_o content_v with_o rather_o than_o be_v without_o it_o it_o will_v keep_v up_o the_o price_n of_o english_a wire_n and_o thereby_o gratify_v the_o dealer_n therein_o as_o also_o be_v a_o great_a accommodation_n to_o all_o the_o manufactor_n and_o trader_n in_o that_o commodity_n beside_o that_o it_o will_v advance_v their_o majesty_n custom_n at_o least_o 10_o or_o 12000_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la wherefore_o it_o be_v most_o humble_o hope_v that_o this_o honourable_a house_n will_v be_v please_v to_o explain_v the_o say_a statute_n of_o the_o 3_o d_o of_o edw._n 4._o according_a to_o the_o constant_a usage_n whereby_o the_o worker_n in_o iron-wire_n may_v be_v capable_a to_o follow_v their_o several_a calling_n
