¶ By the King. A Proclamation for the annihilating of a former Proclamation, entitled, A Proclamation prohibiting the untimely bringing in of Wines. Whereas by Our Proclamation given at Wansted the eleventh day of September, in the eleventh year of Our Reign of Great Britain, France and Ireland, We did (for divers causes therein expressed) prohibit and forbid all persons whatsoever, aswell Our natural born Subjects as Denizens, either directly or indirectly, from thenceforth to unship, discharge or lay on land any new Wines of the growth of France, at or in any Port, Haven, creak, or other place of Our Realm of England, and Principality of Wales, or to buy or receive any new Wines of the growth of France, being brought in by any others, until the first day of December next after the date of the same Proclamation, and so until the first day of December yearly, upon pain of Our high displeasure, and such penalties as by the Laws of this our Realm might be inflicted on offenders in that behalf. And whereas for the more due execution thereof, We did further charge & command all Customers, controllers, & other Officers of Our Ports, to forbear to take any Entries of such new Wines of the growth of France, that should be brought into this Realm by any person or persons whatsoever, until the said first day of December yearly: Now, for that We have found by experience, that Our said Proclamation (which aimed only at the reformation of certain abuses and inconveniences in the bringing in of Wines from France (untimely as We supposed) hath not taken that good effect We thereby expected, but that the Wines of the said growth of France imported into this Realm, have not only since that time (for the most part) proved worse than before, but also Our Customs, Subsidies, and Impostes for the same by means thereof have been much lessened and impaired: We have therefore thought fit, that the said Proclamation should be no longer continued in force, but that the same, and every clause and inhibition therein contained, be from henceforth discontinued and fully determined, to all intents and purposes. And We do hereby notify the same to all Our Subjects & others whatsoever. And We do further hereby publish & declare, that it shall and may be lawful to and for all and every person and persons whatsoever, aswell Our natural born Subjects as Denizens, from henceforth yearly and every year, to unship, discharge or lay on land, any new Wines of the growth of France, at or in any Port, Haven, creak, or other place within our Realm of England, and Principality of Wales, or to buy or receive any new Wines of the growth of France, being brought in by any others, aswell before the first day of December now next coming, as at all and every other time or times hereafter, without incurring any pain or penalty for, or by reason of Our said Proclamation, The same Proclamation, or any inhibition, restraint or matter therein contained to the contrary notwithstanding; And that all Customers, controllers, and other Officers of Our Ports to whom it shall appertain, and all Farmers of the Customs, Subsidies and Imposts now being, and that hereafter shall be, and their Clerks and Substitutes, shall and may lawfully make and take Entries of and for any such Wines of the growth of France, as at any time or times, hereafter shall be brought into this Realm by any person or persons; Our said Proclamation or any inhibition therein contained to the contrary notwithstanding. Given at Bagshot the second day of September, in the seventeenth year of Our Reign of England, France and Ireland, and of Scotland the three and fiftieth.
