parell and furniture to be employed & recovered as therein is
directed. You are to take notice that tho' by the said Act the
word (Ireland) is to be inserted in the condition of the bonds,
and permission thereby given to bring the enumerated Planta-
tion Commodities to Ireland as well as to England, Wales, or
Berwick yet by the aforesaid Act for regulating the Plantation
Trade (which being expired is revived by an Act of this present
Session of Parliament.) The word (Ireland) is to be left out of
the condition of such bonds, and you are not to permit any ship
or vessell to load any of the enumerated goods upon any cer-
tificate of bond having been given in Ireland after the first day
of September 1685. But in that case before they load any of
the said goods They are to produce certificates of bond given
in England, Wales, or Berwick, or to give bond to yourself or
to the person by you appointed to receive the same with good
security as aforesaid. And if any ship or Vessell shall load or
take on board any of the said Comodities until such bond given
in Maryland or Certificate produced from the Officers of some
Custom-House of England, Wales or Berwick that such bond
hath been there duly given, the said ship or Vessell is forfeited
with her guns &c. to be recovered and divided in manner as is
therein directed.

of the said late King's reign for the better secureing the Plan-

law may trade in any of His Majesty's Plantations, shall come
to any of them to ship and take on board any of the aforesaid
Commodities, and that bond shall not be first given with one
sufficient surety to bring the same to England, Wales or the
town of Berwick upon Tweed and to nn other place, and there
to unload and put the same on shore (the danger of the seas
only excepted) that there should be answered and paid to the
said late King His Heirs and Successors for so much of the
said Commodities as shall be laden and put on board such ship
or Vessell the rates and duties therein mentioned, you are to
understand that the payment of the said rates and duties
thereby imposed doth not give liberty to carry the said Goods
to any other place than to some other of His Majestie's Planta-
tions, or to England, Wales or Berwick, and that notwithstand-
ing the payment of the said duties Bond must be first given to
carry the said Goods to some other of His Majesty's Planta-
tions, or to England, Wales or Berwick, and to no other Place.
5. And for preventing the many Frauds, mischiefs and in-
conveniencys in granting Certificates to ships giving bond in
England, Wales or Berwick the Commissioners of our Customs
have caused Certificates in Blanks to be sent to the Customer,
Comptroller and Collector of each Port in this Kingdom with
