THE CASE OF THE JOYNERS Company , AGAINST The Importation of Manufactured CABINET-WORK from the EAST-INDIES .

WHEREAS great Numbers of Artificers , Members of the said Company , have been bred up in the said Art or Mystery of making Cabinets , Scrutores , Tables , Chests , and all other sorts of CABINET-WORK in England , in which of late Years they have arrived to so great a Perfection , as exceeds all Europe .

BUT several Merchants , and others , Trading to the East-Indies , and to several Ports and Places thereabouts , have procured to be made in London , of late Years , and sent over to the East-Indies , Patterns and Models of all sorts of Cabinet Goods ; an● have Yearly return'd from thence such great Quantities of Cabinet-Wares , Manufactured there , after the English Fashion , by our Models , that the said Trade in England is in great Danger of being utterly Ruined , being ingross'd by the said Merchants , and others , that Trade to and from those Parts , to so great a Degree , that they not only supply these Kingdoms with such Commodities , so Imported , but also spoil the EXPORTATION of the said Joyners and Cabinet-Makers Work to Foreign Parts , so that their Journey-men and Apprentices , in a manner , will be useless ; which , if not timely prevented , will Reduce the said Joyners , Cabinet-Makers , and Thousands of other Poor Artificers depending on them , as the Carvers , Turners , Copper-Smiths , Glew-makers , Sawyers , &c. to a deplorable Condition , who must perish for want of Work , or be maintain'd by their several Parishes .

AND in lieu of abundance of Foreign Commodities , which the said Joyners and Cabinet-Makers are obliged to use in their Trade , the English Woollen Manufactures were Exported , so that the Kingdom in general were Gainers thereby .

AND the Youth of this Nation , that now are , and daily come to Handycraft Trades , will be under the like Misfortune , if , when their Trades are brought to Perfection , their Models are carried to India , and Manufactured there .

THE following Goods , Manufactured in India , have been Imported within these Four Years , viz. Two Hundred forty four Cabinets , Six Thousand five hundred eighty two Tea-Tables , Four hundred twenty eight Chests , Seventy Trunks , Fifty two Screens , Five hundred eighty nine Looking-Glass Frames , Six hundred fifty five Tops for Stands , Eight hundred eighteen Lacquer'd Boards , Five hundred ninety seven Sconces , and Four thousand one hundred twenty Dressing , Comb , and Powder Boxes .

Besides several Sales lately made , in which were great Quantities of the said CABINET-WORK ; as also in other Sales daily expected .

Wherefore 't is hoped the Wisdom of this Honourable House will Interpose for the Relief of these poor Artificers , &c.
