THE CASE Of Sir John Lambert , Bar. Samuel Shepheard , and John James David , Merchants of London . Humbly offered to the Consideration of this Honourable House , for RELIEF .

SIR John Lambert , Bar. Samuel Shepheard , and John James David , bought of Henry Bray and John Bowden , Twenty three Tuns and a Quarter , of French Prize Wine , taken by the Success Privateer of Guernsey , lying at Penryn near Falmouth ; and accepted Bills of Exchange for 1050l . drawn by the Collectors there , for the Customs thereof ; and shipped Twenty one Tuns and three Hogsheads of the said Wine , on Board a Coaster , called The New Topsham , William Dair Master , bound for the Port of London , who sailed from Falmouth with her Majesty's Tin Vessels , having for Convoy the Dover and Sunderland Men of War .

YET notwithstanding the Convoy , the said Vessel called The New Topsham , which had on Board Twenty one Tuns , and three Hogsheads of the said Wine , was in the Night , off Beachy-Head , taken by a French Privateer , and carryed into Calice , and there sold .

WHEREUPON the Merchants above , applyed to be relieved from the Payment of the said Bills of Exchange , because the said Wine never came to Port , but were taken and carryed into Calice , and there sold , as aforesaid ; and therefore did no Ways supply the Market , or hinder other Importation , to the Prejudice of Her Majesty's Customs .

BUT the Duties of the said Wines being appropriated to the Use of the War , they have not been able to obtain further than Time to pray a Bill or Clause for their Relief .

AND therefore they humbly hope this Honourable House will , in Consideration of the Hardship of their Case , discharge the said Bills of Exchange , and not suffer them to pay Custom for Goods which never came to Port ; or give them Leave to import Wines Custom - Free , to the same Value with those lost , as is allowed where Goods are exported that never reach their Port , in which Case , the Merchant hath always been suffered to export Custom-Free , to the same Value .
