HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE ❧ By the King ¶ A Proclamation concerning Tobacco WHereas in the Reigne of Our late deare Father and since Our accesse to the Crowne vpon mature deliberation three haue been sundry Proclamations published for restraining the landing of Tobacco to certaine Ports and Harbours within this Kingdome and against planting of the same within this Realme And for that they haue not been put in due execution diuers fraudes and abuses haue beene of late inuented and put in execution by mixing of Tobacco not onely with other Tobacco of worse condition but also with other Materials falsifying and corrupting the same to the great hurt and damage of Our people both in their estates and persons which growing euill may in some measure bee preuented if the Tobacco brought into this Our Realme shall be layd or landed onely in one Port and place For remedie therefore in that behalfe and to the end Wee may bee the more truely answered of the Custome Impost and other dueties due vnto Us for Tobacco brought into this Realme by way of Merchandize whereof Wee haue been sundry times defrauded by landing the same at the pleasures of the Owners Wee doe hereby publish and declare Our Royall will and pleasure That no Tobacco bee hereafter landed or imported to bee landed at any other Porte then in Our Port of London and at no other place of the sayd Port then at the Key and Wharfe commonly called the Custome-house Key scituate in Our Citie of London and other Port or place for landing of Tobacco Wee doe not admit or allow but them inhibite And Wee doe hereby straitly charge and command all and singular Customers Comptrollers Searchers Waiters and other Officers attending in all Our Ports Creekes or places of lading or vnlading except Our said Port of London not to take entries of any Tobacco nor suffer the same to be taken landed or layd on shoare in any other Harbour Port Creeke or place within this Kingdome vpon paine that euery of the said Officers that shall bee found negligent corrupt or remisse herein shall vndergoe such paines and penalties as by the Lawes or Censure of our Court of Starre-chamber may bee inflicted vpon them for the same And it is Our further will and pleasure that if any Ship or Barque wherein Tobacco shall be loaden shall arriue at any other Port or place then at Our sayd Port of London Wee doe hereby giue full power and Authoritie to all and euery the Customers Comptrollers Surueyours Searchers and Waiters and euery of them there attending and doe command them to take and arrest the same Tobacco and forthwith to make Certificate to the Customers of the Port of London of the Owners name of such Ship or other Uessell and his place of dwelling the number and names of the Officers and Mariners in the same the place from whence the same Tobacco came with the quantitie of Tobacco that shall bee contained therein And also that Our said Officers or some of them shall with all conuenient speed cause and procure the Tobacco so by them arrested to bee carefully transmitted to the said Port of London to the Customer there that the same may bee there viewed and the dueties thereof belonging vnto Us may be duely payed and satisfied and such further order taken with the same and with the Owners thereof as shall be fit And whereas notwithstanding former Proclamations published to the contrary yet Wee are informed that Tobacco is still planted and sowen in diuers parts of Our Realmes of England and Ireland in contempt of Us and Our Royall Commands declared to the contrary We do therefore hereby againe absolutely prohibit the Planting therof in Our said Kingdomes as also the bringing into the same of any Seed for the increase thereof from the parts beyond the Seas The Tobacco growing in the
