Description (What the record is about)
-
Folios 318-319. Letter dated at Birmingham from Saml [Samuel] Garbett to William Burke that the trial which was expected to determine whether the present laws are effective to compel manufactured plates to pay duty 'is by some unintelligible means dropped' and that unless a law is expressly made to prevent the evasion practised he shall to his 'mortification import many branches of manufactured iron'. He says [he] does not wish to do so but if the laws are legally evaded by his neighbours he must follow suit. He ends 'some thousands of industrious artificers are suffering in this neighbourhood for the want of remittances from America and from our fear of sending goods there - the consequences I expect will be very serious soon'.
