A77469	A Brief remonstrance touching the pre-emption of tyn, and the coynages thereof.		1654 (1654)	Wing B4641; Thomason E733_13; ESTC R206911	7,334	8

Reign upon those grounds That it was in oppressionem populi contra tenorem Charte pris sui c. And commands the Sheriff to make Proclamation throughout the County that all Tynners that had any Tyn to sell after the Coynage and Coynage due paid might sell their Tyn prout decet without any impediment or contradiction according to the Charter of his Father wherein there is both a construction of that Charter and the judgment of that time concerning Preemption The next Grant that appears to be made was 12 Edw. 3. to Richard Suthorp and Moneron upon pretence of the Kings most urgent occasions for the defence and saving of the Kingdom to seize the Tyn of Cornwal and Devon into their hands for his use yet so that they should give good security for it according to such a price as should be agreed between them and the Tynners yet the same year upon complaint to the Parliament held at Northampton there was a revocation of their Grant and a restauration of the Tyn. In the 21 year of Edw. 3. there was another Lease granted of the Tyn to one Tydeman of Lymbrick which was complained of the same year in Parliament by the Merchants of England for that the Tyn was ingrossed by one man which was wont to be sold to all the Merchants of the Kingdom and receiving no satisfactory answer that Parliament Come it 's ont fait de tout temps that they might sell their Tyn to any that would buy it without the restraint of the Prince as they had done heretofore at all times From Edward the third down along to Edward the sixth there is not found or urged any one Grant or Lease of the Emption of Tyn though in the long interval of that time their Charters have been confirmed by all or most of the * Viz 8 R. 2. 1 Edw. 4. 3 Hen. 7. 27 Hen 7. 3 Hen. 8. 1 Edw. 6. Kings that intervened yea twice by Henry the seventh in one of whose Charters viz. 27 Hen. 7. this clause concerning Preemption of Nisi nos c. is wholly declined and omitted though it be well known he was a Prince wise and wary and had * Empson Dudley Instruments active enough to promote and execute what ever might advance his Revenue by any colourable pretence from Prerogative or Law And though 7 Edw. 6. there was then a Lease made to Gilbert Srockhouse of the Preemption of Tyn with as much easiness and respect to the Tynners as could be desired viz. That he should give as much as any other Merchant had or did give and sell but at a half peny profit in every pound to others yet this was revoked I Q. Mary by the Lords of the Council as prejudicial to the Tynners so it continued free till the latter end of Q. Elizabeths Reign and then a Lease was granted to Brigham and Wymes for the first buying of Tyn at such prizes as they and the Tynners could agree with the reservation of 2000 l per annum Rent to Her Majesty and no more yet this Lease was understood and comprehended by K. James under the notion of a Monopoly and an invasion of the Liberty of the Subject as well as some other Pattents and so after long debate with his Council revoked by Proclamation in the first year of his Reign as therein may at large appear It is very true that 5 Jacobi there being a glut of Tyn in the Countrey more then the Kingdom or Forein parts could take off the Tynners easily consented to a new Farm of their Tyn for the price then currant of 28 l. per 1000 w. to the Tynners and 2000 l. to the King but within a few years after that the gain of the sole Emption and Transportation of their Tyn came to be felt and understood by the Merchants Preemption was advanced to 8000 l. per annum and so grew higher and higher as the times grew worse with some petty increase of price to the tynners till it came to 14000 l. per annum and more and so continued till the expiration of the late Farmers Pattent which was since the beginning of the great Parliament And then the Tynners having served out the time of their Bondage and being no longer under that state able to preserve themselves and their Families from Ruine addressed several Petitions to the Parliament for Liberty where after several years attendance upon reference to several Committees much opposition and contestation at length one of their Petitions was read in the House and referred to the Committee for the Navy where Preemption was solemnly debated in the presence of the Attorney General and by the Vote of the whole Committee judged to be a grievance and to be taken away as will appear in the Records and Acts of that Committee still ready to be produced By vertue whereof and of the Act of Parliament for Excise or New Impost the Tynners after their Tyn stamped and coyned at their respective Blowing-houses sell the same from time to time to their best Merchant as they are inabled to do by Authority of the said Act paying the duty of Excise And thus you have a short view of the state of Preemption and what hath been done upon it from its Original to this day There is one Objection which needs answering before we come to Coynages and that is this Object 1. That if Tyn be out of Farm and at liberty the Tynner would be but a prey to every Merchant and the Tynners by underselling one another would quickly destroy themselves and all Tyn-working Answ This Objection though it be countenanced by wise men is yet a Mystery and it must necessarily argue a great weakness and want of common discretion in the Tynner above other men to dispose of his goods to his best advantage from whence this must proceed otherwise why should not the same mischief and inconvenience befal those that trade in Fish and other not so choice Commodities as this peculiar to this Kingdom and that County alone But secondly This inconvenience never followed but upon a glut of Tyn as is before said but there is no ground for this fear now when the quantity is so small that the Manufactures of the Kingdom are able to imploy near the whole bulk of Tyn that is made in the year as it is at present But thirdly There is an answer to it against which there is no rising up and that is from sense and six or seven years experience and we use to say Non est disputandum de gustu There is no disputing against ones sense and common experience which can evidence That in the various changes and obstructions of Trade that have been within these few years yet the Tynners have still had a far better price then ever they could have under a Farm and for the most part 4 l. and above and at this day 4 l. 8 s. per centum for their Tyn
