A 1789 letter from James Griffiths asks the Tobacco Commissioners for information on dealers required to obtain licenses. He requests a prompt response and expresses respect, noting the body’s long-standing regard for the issuer.
A historical letter from January 1799 to Sir Letfter H Sir discusses whether publicans are obliged to take out a license under the Telegraph Act. The writer, signing as Ja. Griffiths, addresses readers with polite regard and references Tavern-keepers as dealers in talbaceo in a colonial style.
The document outlines positions from 1792 about whether tobacco dealers who run pubs must obtain licences. It explains that dealers may be charged for tobacco sales at public houses and that avoidance schemes do not excuse licensing obligations. It also notes potential penalties and proceedings by the Exchequer, with remarks from A Macdonald and J Scott.
