Henry the VII also, of all the laws made for securing our plantation trade to our selves : with observations thereon, proving that the Jews (in their practical way of trade at this time) break them all, to the great damage of the King in his customs, the merchants in their trade, the whole kingdom, and His Majesties plantations in America in their staple : together with the hardships and difficulties the author hath already met with, in his endeavouring to find out and detect the ways and methods they take to effect it / by Samuel Hayne ...

Petition and Reference so that their Lordships could order nothing thereon which did fully demonstrate where the stop lay and no remedy for me but Patience Yet about Christmass some contest happening betwixt the Collector and Surveyor of Plymouth I was by order of the Commissioners of the Customs to appear at Custom house London Mr. Warden of the Fleet permitted it And after I had dispatch'd the business they had for me I mov'd my own concern on which they made an Order that I should draw another Petition and to that the foresaid Report should be Affixed and carried up to the Lords of the Treasury the next time they went up accordingly I drew another Petition and gave it to Mr. Sanson and by the 22 day of March following I got a Warrant from the Lords of the Treasury for 62 l. 10 s. 0 d. for five Quarters upon my Sallary of 50 l. 0 s. 0 d per Annum during my former Imprisonment Then I thought my self on the brink of Liberty and Assigned over the said Warrant to Mr. Warden who sent it by one of his Servants to the Commissioners of the Customs who instead of paying my Money according to the Warrant kept both Money and Warrant and thereon continued me a Prisoner in the Fleet However Mr. Warden seeing how basely I was dealt with was very favourable to me in letting me go abroad when I pleas'd But the same day Mr. Culliford went away for Ireland one Mr. Plumb Servant to Mr. Prowse Solicitor of the Customs invited me to drink a Glass of Wine with him at the Mitre-Tavern in St. Pauls Church-yard I promised to meet him and did so the 15th of September 1684. having my Wayter with me when I came to him he began to discourse about Mr. Culliford's going to Ireland and about Writs of Delivery Notes of Recovery and Writs of Appraisment which are Instruments much abused by those Intrusted by His Majesty for the Mannaging His Moyety of Seizures and did particularly appear of late by the discovery of the great Villanies committed by Levi the Jew and this very Fellow Plumb the Examination whereof was before the Commissioners and though the Fraud appeared so plain that Plumb was forced to Re-fund about 200 Guinyes which he had cheated the King of yet he is not only continued in his place but was thought on for the fittest man to Trepan me After we had drank two Pints of Wine we parted and as soon as I was got into the Street with my Wayter was Arrested at the Suit of the King for 17 l. 10 s. 0 d. pretended to be due to His Majesty long since but unknown to me and away was I hurryed immediatly to the Poultry Compter The next day Mr. Warden sent to demand me but could not prevail the Serjeants had such strict Orders to keep me and no Judge of the Common-Pleas being then in Town I was forced to stay there till the Term and after that came I was stayed by Tricks there till the 27th of November when my third Hebeas Corpus brought me again to the Fleet at my own Charge The Suit against me was by Writ and my Person being put in the Compter must be removed by the Plaintiff before I could be declared against So that what Charges Plumb or his Master hath put the King to in Arresting and Carrying me to the Compter was the Product of their Malice against me and to make good Sir Nicholas Butler's Prorestations That I shall Rot in Prison and never come out again Rather than for any thing tending to his Masters Interest time will shew why they deal so severely with me In the interim I will only give the Reader the sight of a Copy of my Warrant and a few Remarks thereon and so conclude AFter our hearty Commendations Whereas upon the Petition of Samuel Haynes late Riding Surveyor on the Coast of Cornwall praying us he may be allowed 62 l. 10 s. for five Quarters upon his Sallary of 50 l. per Annum You have made a Report unto us bearing date 28th of August 1683. Acquainting us that the said Samuel Haynes was dismissed from his said Imployment of Ryding Surveyor on the Coast of Cornwall for Absence from his Duty for the space of near six Months And that it since appears to you that the cause of his Non attendance on his said Imployment was in great measure by reason of some Vexatious Actions brought against him by Merchants concerned in the Loading of a certain Ship from His Majesties Plantations who had unduly cleared in the Port of Falmouth for Holland without unleading her whole Cargo according to Law which Vessel he caused upon probable grounds to be unloaden after she had been cleared as aforesaid by the Officers of that Port and though he received nothing to himself upon his Information of Seizure nor was he encouraged by you to Prosecute the Forfeiture yet by the unloading of the said Ship he discovered Goods which paid 69 l. 7 s. 6 d. Duty to the King which had been concealed if he had not unloaden and searched her as aforesaid That you are informed by reason of the Actions brought against him upon that occasion he was some time forced to Abscond and was afterwards cast into Prison which was the occasion of his Non attendance on his Duty and that he continued long in Prison after the time of his Dismission Vpon considetraion of the Premisses These are to pray and require you to give Directions to the Receiver General and Cashier of His Majesties Customs to make payment of the said sum of sixty two Pounds ten Shillings to the said Samuel Haynes for his five Quarters Sallary as aforesaid for which this Shall be Your Warrant Whitehall Treasury Chamber March the 22d 1683. To our very Loving Friends the Commissioners of His Majesties Customs Mr. Haynes 62 l. 10 s. Rochester J. Ernle Ed. Dering S. Godolphin Ste. Fox By this Warrant you may see That though I had been very hardly thought of by the Commissioners themselves and that I had obeyed the Laws before their Letters yet they could not chuse but give me a good Report owning that I acted according to Law and upon probable Grounds and that the Ship was unduly Cleared by the Officers of Falmouth And that I had done good Service in Searching the Ship and making such discovery as I did And further that they own there was a Forseiture but that they did not encourage the Prosecution thereof Upon the whole I shall presume to make the following Quaries First Whether an Officer of the Customs in an Out-Port who hath taken an Oath according to the Statute 14 Car 2 viz. Be it hereby also Enacted that all Deputies Clerks and Servants which now have any place or Office in or about the Customs and Subsidies by and under the Commissioners or other the Kings Officers thereof Shall before the 1st of June next take their respective Corporal Oaths for the True and
