2000000 Killed Yearly 120 being reckoned to the Hundred comes to 006662 13 04 Tenthly And that the Fishmongers and Poulterers may not have an Advantage of the Butchers in the Sale of their Fish and Fowl It may be reasonable to lay a Duty upon all Pullen and the same upon all salt and fresh Fish arising to about Five Pounds per Cent. And to render the Assessing and Collecting of these Duties more easie and equal That the Justices of the Peace and the Assessors of the King's Taxes in every Parish be enjoyn'd by Act of Parliament to make Enquiry or cause Enquiry to be made and to obtain the best Information they can concerning the Quantity of each Person 's Trade that deals in these Commodities in their respective Parishes and to Assess and Charge him or her with a Quarterly Payment that hath a greater or lesser Trade accordingly that is to say Five Pounds upon him that deals for a Hundred Pounds per Annum and Thirty Pounds Yearly upon him that Trades for Six Hundred Pounds a Year in those Goods but no Fishmonger nor Poulterer to Pay above Thirty Pounds nor less than Five Pounds per Annum their Trades being never so great or small   l s d Eleventhly That all Foreign Hydes Skins and Furs be Taxed in the same manner by Charging the Importer Furrier or Person Dealing in them with a Duty of Five Pounds per Cent. which Duties of Fish and Fowl being added to this of Foreign Hydes Furs and Skins will Raise 60000 Pounds Yearly and will make up the Sums aforegoing in this Paragraph per Annum 690929 06 08 Twelfthly That Leaden-Hall-Market remain the Place as it now is for Sale of all Oxen Bullock's Bull 's and Cow's Hydes on the usual Days of Sale for all such as shall be Slaughter'd in the City and Suburbs or within Five Miles of London or a greater distance if the Owners find it Beneficial to bring them thither And that Southwark White-Chappel Smithfield Clare-Market and St. James's Market with such other Places as the Officers and Collectors shall find convenient be appointed for the Sale of all Lambs Sheep Goats Bucks Does and Calves Skins on their usual Days of Sale between the Hours of Seven and Twelve of the Clock in the Forenoon which shall be Slaughter'd in any Place within the Compass of the Bills of Mortality And for all other Parts of England Wales and Berwick upon Tweed that convenient Times and Places be appointed by the Officers and Collectors for the Sale of all Raw Hydes and Skins as afore-said And that no Person presume to carry away any Hyde or Skin till the Officer or Collector hath seen and told them over although they may Buy and Sell or Agree for the same before And if any Person shall Buy Sell Conceal and Carry away any Hyde or Skin which the Officer hath not seen and taken an Account thereof the Buyer and Seller to Forfeit each of them Five Pounds for every such Hyde or Skin he or she shall so Buy Sell or Conceal from the Officer as afore-said if Discovered one half to go to the King and the other half to the Informer and Officer that makes the Seizure Lastly In regard Money must be Raised one way or another for the Support of the Government if Equity may take place amongst the People there will be little Reason for any to complain why this Imposition or Duty should not be thus Charged for in these Duties every Person will be Taxed and Pay more or less according to the Quantity he or she useth if Poor they use little and therefore Pay the less if Rich they Pay the more in Proportion to what their Expence and Consumptions are so that nothing can be more equally laid and Charg'd upon the People than the Taxes afore-said And for the Butchers Tanners Fell-mongers Poulterers and Fishmongers they will have no Cause of Objection for although they shall Pay these Taxes to the King in gross Sums the People or Buyers of their Commodities pay it them again with Advantage by Parcels And for the whole Duty it self upon the Carcass and Skin if reckoned together will not rise to a Farthing a Pound one with another which Charge is a very inconsiderable Burthen and is no more but what they now may be out-witted in or Cheated of by the Seller without being thus Charged Proposal III.   l s d First THAT a Duty of Twenty Shillings for every Hundred Weight be laid upon all Hops when and so long as they are under Five Pounds the Hundred and when they are Five Pounds the Hundred or upwards that the Duty be then reduc'd to Ten Shillings the Hundred during the time they continue so This Duty the People may dispense with because sometimes they Pay Seven or Eight Pounds the Hundred for them which Duty may raise per Annum 012000 00 00 Secondly That a Duty of Five Pounds per Annum be laid upon all Carts and Car-Men that own them within the Cities of London and Westminster and upon all such as are driven and wrought within any part of the Bills of Mortality of which I compute there are 3000 so that this Duty would certainly raise per Annum 012000 00 00 Thirdly That a Duty of Six Pounds per Cent. be laid upon all Iron cast Guns Pots Kettles Chimney-pieces and upon Nails Sithes Sickles Hooks Knives Raiziors Sizers and upon all other Iron and Steeled Ware whatsoever that is cast or wrought up the Duty to be collected at the Place where they are cast made and wrought up or where they are brought together in Quantities which Duty may raise per Annum 015000 00 00 Fourthly For Encouraging the Iron and Copper Works that are now going in England and Wales That a further Duty of Five Pounds for every Hundred Pounds Worth more than what there now is be laid upon all Foreign Iron Cast or Uncast and upon all Steel Lattin Battery and Wyre that shall be Imported after the Day of next ensuing which Duty may raise per Annum near 010000 00 00 Fifthly That a Duty be laid upon all Coppers of Ten Shillings per Ton and a Duty of Twenty Shillings per Ton upon all Alum which Duties may raise per Annum 008000 00 00 Sixthly That a Duty of Two Shillings and Six Pence the Ton be laid upon all empty Cask as 't is wrought up of which I reckon there is Yearly made 200000 Tons which Duty will raise per Annum 025000 00 00 Seventhly In regard there is a great Consumption of Hemp for making Roaps and all sorts of Cordage That a Duty of Five Pounds per Cent. that is for every Hundred Pounds Worth be further Charged upon all Hemp and Flax that shall be Imported after the Day of next ensuing which Duty may raise per Annum 010000 00 00 Eighthly That a Duty of Five Shillings per Hundred Weight be laid upon all Tin and Collected at the Mills where 't is made
