Molosses 8 s . per C. For every hundred weight of Molosses imported within the time aforesaid , from any other place than the English Plantations in America , 8 s . ober and above what the same is charged with in the Book of Rates .

4o . & 5o . W. & M. ACT for Granting certain Additional Impositions upon several Goods and Merchandizes .

fol. 252. There shall be answered and paid for the several Goods and Merchandizes hereafter mentioned , over and above all Impositions , Duties and Charges already imposed and payable upon and for the same in the Book of Rates of Merchandize by Act of Parliament established , and the direction therein contained or otherwise , the further Rates and Duties following , That is to say —

fol. 264. Vpon all French Goods and Merchandizes ( except Wine , Brandy , Salt and Vinegar ) five and twenty pounds for every hundred pounds value thereof , 25 per C. more than the same are charged with in the said Book of Rates .

Upon some Doubts from the abovesaid Acts , Molosses imported from France have been admitted to pay but 25 per Cent . of the Value ; and that not of their true Value , as other Goods are valued upon Oath , but upon the Valuation in the Book of Rates , in time of Peace , when they were much less worth , and so they pay only about 3 s . per C. with . besides 8 d . per C. with . by the Book of Rates , to the great Prejudice of our own Plantations .
