PROPOSALS Humbly offered for Raising One Million of Money .

THE Victuallers or Alehouse-keepers within the City of London and Liberties thereof , are very numerous , and also all England over .

The Victuallers or Alehouse-keepers in London , are put to a considerable trouble and expence for getting and renewing their Licenses , viz. for a new License a Guinea or more , and for renewing , every year Twenty Shillings and upwards for their License Fee , to some Officers and others within the said City , besides attendance a day or two sometimes together , at their expence and loss of business that time .

The Alehouse keepers and Victuallers in the several Counties in England , pay perhaps 7 s. 6 d. for a new License , and for renewing once a year 3 s. 6 d. and upwards , which goes to the private gain of some particular persons .

That in the said City of London and Suburbs , as also in the several Counties in England and Wales , &c. there are a great many Inn-keepers , Coffee-houses and Cooks , which sell a great quantity of Ale and Beer yearly , without paying for any License for the same .

So that if 15 s. per Ann. for a License were paid to the King towards the charge of the War , within the said City of London and Bills of Mortality , for all Alehouse-keepers , Inn-keepers or their Tapsters , Coffee-houses or Cooks selling Ale or Beer , and also upon all persons selling Brandy or other strong Waters within the Liberty of the City and Bills of Mortality aforesaid , and Penalty for those refusing to take a License for the same .

And if 7 s. 6 d. per Annum for a License for the Alehouse-keepers , Inn-keepers or their Tapsters , Cooks and Coffee-houses , and persons selling Brandy or other Strong Waters in the several Counties in England , Wales , &c. And a Penalty upon refusal thereof ; besides , the reasonable Fines for new Licenses , as occasion serves : This will amount ( by computation ) to the Sum proposed , without any hardship to the people concerned therein ; many of which pay greater Sums than now proposed , and no benefit thereby accrues to the Publick .

The same Persons ( if approved ) may License the said Victuallers as before , viz. the Justices of Peace in the several Counties , His Majesty only appointing a Register and Receiver in each County in England , Wales , &c. whose attendance need not be above one Month in a Year .

All which is humbly left to the Consideration of this Honourable House , by John Cuthbert , John Nicholls .
