Document Signed by the above five (of six) Commissioners
for the Excise to the Committee of Parliament for Regulating the Excise, with transcription, expressing their dissatisfaction that certain manufacturers may be granted exemption, their arguments closely reflect the system in force, saying that they had perused Parliament's Order of 16th December 1652, and had found there nothing but "a continuacion of the Receiptes of Excise unto the xxixth of September 1655", so they themselves have drafted an Act [not present], they point out that inevitably "the same indulgence of the Parliament will be expected to bee extended to all other Persons paying the like duty and by that meanes begett an impatience in the people to pay anything upon any manufacture at all, and so necessitate a totall laying of the whole aside", further "that haveing already given an Accompt of what the growing receipts may likely amount unto" to "the Comittee for Inspecting of Publique Treasuries and Comissioners of the Navy", the latter's budgets will be deficient and "the Publique service failed", again "all the inland comodities exciseable (except Tobacco pipes) are at present more or lesse in Farme", so the buyers "will forbeare payment and the Farmers deteyne theire rent", with "defalcacion and nonperformance of Articles on the Comissioners parte", lastly "the Accompts of the Excise" will not be drawn up under regular heads, leading to delays in signing them off, in their draft they have included a clause with "a forme and manner of a discharge to bee had & made in the case", the same clause was in Parliament's Ordinance of 31st August 1644 but without any form of discharge, 2 sides 12" x 7¾", Excise Office, 11th, 21st or 31st January 1652, modern calendar
