Duty on Hawkers Pedlars for Supply to the Crown
The committee proposes a duty on hawkers pedlars and petty chapmen traveling with wares. The duty would be 5s annually for those without a horse, 20s with a horse, and 10s for other beasts of burden, running from December 1721 to December 1723. Instructions are given to secure repayment of 10,000 pounds advanced to the government and to apply tea and other duties to hempen and flaxen manufactures. The petition of Randal, Earl of Aurim, is read and resolutions are agreed.
