May it please your LordspLordship
According to yoryour LordpLordship order of 3d September instant We
herewith lay before yoryour LordpLordship in the paper annexed an AcctAccount of all the Her MatiesMajesties
Tyn that has been sold since Lady last & to whom. in the Paper
annexed. The persons named in the Account are for the most
part Pewterers who sometimes byuy for themselves but for most
commonly factor for the merchants. For where the Merchants imploy Factors we enter only the names of the Factors. We have also added another
Account of the Quantities exported to several places abroad taken
from the books of the Custome-house but not yet examined by us
& published by other people :For We enter not the Merchants names nor the places to wchwhich the Tyn is exported. We cannot affirm thits ActAccount so exact as that taken from
our own books: but itthe whole sum agrees well wellin the who with ors.some small errors
perhaps excepted.that in orour books wchwhich makes
us think the particulers neare the truth if not exact. All wchwhich is most humbly submitted to yoryour LordpsLordships
