THE PRESENT CASE OF THE Tanners, Curriers, Shoemakers, and other Dealers in Leather.  
THAT great Numbers of Petitions have been presented to this Honourable House against the Exportation of Bark, from several Parts of this Kingdom, which now lye on the Table; and that about One Hundred Petitions more are now ready to be presented from several other Places, Signed by upwards of a Hundred Thousand Complainants; in which Petitions, or several of them, are contained other Complaints as well as that against the Export of Bark: And if their Aggrievances are not examined into, and taken into Consideration by this Honourable House, they have no other Place to go to for Relief, but must be content to quit their employ, to the Ruin of many Thousand Families that depend wholly on the Leather Trade.  
But if this Honourable House will be pleased to give Leave to bring in a Bill for the Petitioner's Relief, and to show the Reasonableness of their Complaints, they doubt not( or at least hope) but the same will be brought in to the Satisfaction of the whole House.
