<HEAD>THE CASE OF THE Tran&s;port-Ships, taken up in the Years 1689, 1690, and 1691, for the <HI>RED&V;CTION</HI> of <HI>IRELAND.</HI> Humbly offered to the High Court of PARLIAMENT</HEAD>
<P>WHEREAS an Act pa&s;&s;ed the la&s;t Se&s;&s;ion of Parliament, Entituled, <HI>An Act for Granting to His Maje&s;ty &s;everal Additional Duties upon Coffee, Tea,</HI> &amp;c. towards Satisfaction of the Debts due for <HI>Tran&s;port Service,</HI> for the Reduction of <HI>Ireland;</HI> which Act was to Continue but for Three Years, at Five Pounds <HI>per Cent per Annum</HI> Intere&s;t.</P>
<P>And the &s;aid <HI>Fund</HI> being only given for Three Years, it hath &s;o far Le&s;&s;ened the Value of the &s;aid Debt, as that those many Poor People, in the &s;undry Sea-Ports all round this Kingdom, who are concerned therein, can obtain very little or no Credit thereon.</P>
<P>And many of them being Widows, and Fatherle&s;s Chil|dren, who, for want of what hath been &s;o long their ju&s;t due, are rendered real Objects of the Pity and Compa&s;&s;ion of this Honourable Hou&s;e:</P>
<P><HI>It is therefore Humbly Pray'd (for the better Relief of the Per&s;ons concerned in the &s;aid Debt) That it may be En|acted, That the Duties ari&s;ing by the &s;aid Act, may be continued in Force for Payment of the Intere&s;t of the &s;aid Debt, until the Principal shall be provided for by the</HI> Parliament.</P>
