The CASE of the Clothiers and Fullers of the Counties of Glocester , Devon , Oxford , Worcester , York , Dorset and Wiltshire .

THE East-India Company have for several Years last past Bought about 10000 Clothes per Annum , which are fully Manufactured , and do amount to upwards of 100,000 l. per Annum , in which same Manufacture upwards of 40000 Families are Annually Imploy'd .

The said Company ( besides Great Quantities of Norwich-Stuffs , Callimancoes . Camblets , &c. ) have also Bought for several Years last past , upwards of 8000 Exeter Long Ells per Annum ; which are likewise fully Manufactured here , and do amount together to upwards of 20000 l. per Annum ; which Manufacture does , in like manner , Annually Imploy many Thousands of Poor Families .

The said Clothiers and Fullers being Inform'd , a Vote is past the Honourable Committee , for Ways and Means for Laying a farther Duty on the East-India Trade , which if it should pass into a Law , they have great Reason to believe it will be so great a Discouragement to the said Trade , as to disable the said Company from Buying and Exporting the said Manufactures ; which in Consequence will be the Ruin of many Thousands of Poor Families , and will considerably Lessen the Price of Wooll .

They therefore do most humbly Pray , the said Duty may not be Laid .
