<HEAD>THE CASE Of Sir <HI>John Lambert,</HI> Bar. <HI>Samuel Shepheard,</HI> and <HI>John James David,</HI> Merchants of <HI>London.</HI> Humbly offer|ed to the Con&s;ideration of this <HI>Honou|rable Hou&s;e,</HI> for RELIEF.</HEAD>
<P>SIR <HI>John Lambert,</HI> Bar. <HI>Samuel Shepheard,</HI> and <HI>John James David,</HI> bought of <HI>Henry Bray</HI> and <HI>John Bowden,</HI> Twenty three Tuns and a Quarter, of <HI>French</HI> Prize Wine, taken by the <HI>Succe&s;s Privateer</HI> of <HI>Guern&s;ey,</HI> lying at <HI>Penryn</HI> near <HI>Falmouth;</HI> and accepted Bills of Exchange for <HI>1050l.</HI> drawn by the Collectors there, for the Cu&s;toms thereof; and &s;hipped Twenty one Tuns and three Hog&s;heads of the &s;aid Wine, on Board a Coa&s;ter, called <HI>The New Top|&s;ham, William Dair</HI> Ma&s;ter, bound for the Port of <HI>London,</HI> who &s;ailed from <HI>Fal|mouth</HI> with her Maje&s;ty's Tin Ve&s;&s;els, having for Convoy the <HI>Dover</HI> and <HI>Sun|derland</HI> Men of War.</P>
<P>YET notwith&s;tanding the Convoy, the &s;aid Ve&s;&s;el called <HI>The New Top&s;ham,</HI> which had on Board Twenty one Tuns, and three Hog&s;heads of the &s;aid Wine, was in the Night, off <HI>Beachy-Head,</HI> taken by a <HI>French</HI> Privateer, and carryed into <HI>Calice,</HI> and there &s;old.</P>
<P>WHEREUPON the Merchants above, applyed to be relieved from the Payment of the &s;aid Bills of Exchange, becau&s;e the &s;aid Wine never came to Port, but were taken and carryed into <HI>Calice,</HI> and there &s;old, as afore&s;aid; and therefore did no Ways &s;upply the Market, or hinder other Importation, to the Prejudice of Her Maje&s;ty's Cu&s;toms.</P>
<P>BUT the Duties of the &s;aid Wines being appropriated to the U&s;e of the War, they have not been able to obtain further than Time to pray a Bill or Clau&s;e for their Relief.</P>
<P REND="indent italic">AND therefore they humbly hope this <HI>Honourable Hou&s;e</HI> will, in Con|&s;ideration of the Hard&s;hip of their Ca&s;e, di&s;charge the &s;aid <HI>Bills of Exchange,</HI> and not &s;uffer them to pay Cu&s;tom for Goods which never came to Port; or give them Leave to import Wines Cu&s;tom- Free, to the &s;ame Value with tho&s;e lo&s;t, as is allowed where Goods are export|ed that never reach their Port, in which Ca&s;e, the Merchant hath al|ways been &s;uffered to export Cu&s;tom-Free, to the &s;ame Value.</P>
