The CASE of the Clothiers and Fuller's of the Counties of Gloucester, Devon, Oxford, Worcester, York, Dorset and Wiltshire.  
THE East-India Company have for several Years last passed Bought about 10000 Clothes per Annum, which are fully Manufactured, and do amount to upwards of 100,000 l. per Annum, in which same Manufacture upwards of 40000 Families are Annually Employed.  
The said Company (besides Great Quantities of Norwich-Stuffs, Callimancoes. Camblets, etc.) have also Bought for several Years last passed, upwards of 8000 Exeter Long els per Annum; which are likewise fully Manufactured here, and do amount together to upwards of 20000 l. per Annum; which Manufacture does, in like manner, Annually Employ many Thousands of Poor Families.  
The said Clothiers and Fuller's being Informed, a Vote is passed the Honourable Committee, for Ways and Means for Laying a farther Duty on the East-India Trade, which if it should pass into a Law, they have great Reason to believe it will be so great a Discouragement to the said Trade, as to disable the said Company from Buying and Exporting the said Manufactures; which in Consequence will be the Ruin of many Thousands of Poor Families, and will considerably Lessen the Price of Wool.  
They therefore do most humbly Pray, the said Duty may not be Laid.
