AN ACCOUNT Of the Produce of The Glass-Duty .

BY the Commissioners Account for Receiving the said Duties , the Gross Duty appears , from Michaelmas , 1695 , to the Seventeenth of November , 1696 , to be l. 17642 s. 1 d. 5 Out of which must be Deducted , For Charges of Collecting the Duty as by their own Account — l. 2766 s. 3 d. 4 For Debentures at London , according to the Commissioners of the Customhouse's Account l. 840 s. 5 d. 8 For Debentures at Bristol , according to the said Commissioners Account — l. 2976 s. 0 d. 0 For Debentures at New Castle and Sheels — l. 1020 s. 0 d. 0 For prompt Payment allowed by the Commissioners of Glass-Duties Account l. 167 s. 4 d. 1 l. 7769 s. 13 d. 1 l. 9872 s. 8 d. 4

And out of the above-said Sum will be drawn back for Glass that will be Exported out of the Stock now on the Makers Hands , which hath paid the Duty , and is included in the above-said Sum at least 700 l. and with an Addition of 10000 dozen of Bottles more to be made , which will pay but 500 l. to the Crown , will answer all Demands for Glass until Lady-day next ; so that adding the 500 l. to the above 9872 l. 8 s. 4 d. and then deducting 700 l. for the Glass that will be Shipt off ; and also 1000 l. for the Charge of Collecting from the 17 of November last , to Lady-day next , there will remain but 8672 l. 8 s. 4 d. for a Year and a half .

Which for One Year is but 5781 l. 12 s. 3 d.

Which Sum of 5781 l. 12 s. 3 d. is more then any following year can be supposed to produce .

In as much as it had not been possible for the Glass Masters to have worked so long as they have , had it not been , that they had the opportunity of Old Cliped Money to carry on their Works , pay Servants Wages , and the Duty .

And that putting out their Fires is Contrivance , as the Commissioners Insinuate , will appear only Contrivance in them and other Officers to continue their Salaries ; when considered that the Masters have continued their Works so long , that want of Demand for Goods , forced them to put out their Fires ; having such a Stock by them , as with a small Addition , will serve all demands to Lady-day next , as by account .
