The CASE of the Wholesale and Retale Dealers , in Coffee , Tea , Chocolate , &c. In Relation to the Bill now depending .

THAT the first Excise which was known in England , was given since the Restoration ; and That , instead of the Court of Ward and Liveries , which had been grievous to the Subject : And the Excise being very burdensome , attended with many Inconveniencies , Penalties , and Vexations , which must attend the fair Trader in this Bill now depending , and will no Ways prevent the clandestine Running of those Commodities , which ( is humbly conceiv'd ) is intended by the said Bill .

Fair Traders being oblig'd to enter their Shops , and Ware-Houses , &c. the Smuggler will never have any Place enter'd , but carry on their Trade by unknown Persons .

The Officers having a Power to enter by Night , must be of the utmost ill Consequence to the Subject ; exposing his said House and Ware-House to be plunder'd , and his Family put in the utmost Surprize . Any Dealers increasing their Stock by clandestine Running in the Night , may be discover'd in the Day .

Permits will be found very troublesome , hindering the Dispatch of Business , not to be obtain'd at all Times for the Supply of Country Chapmen , and very often clandestinely procur'd to convey and carry off Smuggled or Run Goods with Safety .

For Dealers to keep Books of Accounts of all Quantities of Coffee , &c. sold by them , and to whom , is altogether impracticable ; particularly to those who cannot write .

Erecting Publick Offices to roast Coffee-Berries , will be the entire Ruin of many Families which are now supported by that Employment ; and will also be a great Hinderance of Business , the Dealers not having any Opportunity to roast Coffee as usual .

It is humbly conceiv'd by this Bill , the Duties will be advanc'd on the said Commodities for Home Consumption , and lower'd on Exportation ; which will be an Encouragement to the Running Trade , and the contrary to the fair and honest Dealers for Home Consumption ; and that to lower the Duties on Coffee and Tea , &c. may have the same Effect as the Precedent on Pepper and Spice ; increase the Revenues , and support and encourage the fair Trader , and entirely put a Stop to the clendestine Running of those Commodities .

The CASE of the Wholesale and Retale Dealers in Coffee , Tea , Chocolate , &c. in Relation to the Bill now depending .
