Westminster, August 1.
The Parliament having notice how much the Country hath been
burthened in the manner of Collecting the Excise and oppressed by
the Officers thereof, did this day refer it to the Committee for Inspecting
of Treasuries, and regulating Officers and Salaries to consider
how the Excise may be brought in with the greatest case to the
people; and how the oppressions and burtheus which have been in
the ma[unr]g of that business, may be redressed for the future.
It was [unr]erred likewise to the same Committee, to consider of
the Grievances in granting of Wine Lincenses, and the Title of those
who take upon them to grant the said Licenses.
A Bill for restraint of Appeals from the Courts of Justice in Ireland,
to the Courts of justice in England, was read the first and second
time, and committed.
It was agreed also to give 500 l. per annum to the son of the late
Earl of Derby.
