Dublin Gazette Postscript February 2 1700s Shipping Duty Abolished
Late last night a packet from Britain arrived with French mail describing the abolition of the five shilling per tun duty on French ships entering British and Irish ports. The Utrecht treaty clauses remove related impositions and orders direct customs to forbear collection after February 4. London reports the Earl of Strafford travels to Holland and the Earl of Melford dies in Paris.
