Georgii III. Regis'''

'''CAP LVIII'''

An act for granting further time for allowing
the Drawback on the exportation of coffee
imported by the ''East India Company'', in the
ship ''Europa'' in the year One thousand seven
hundred and seventy-five.

Whereas great part of coffee
imported by United Company
of Merchants of England trading to
the East Indies, in the Ship Europa
in the Year One thousand seven
hundred and seventy-five, which re-
mained unsold on the sixth Day
of May One thousand seven hundred and eighty, and
other Parts of such coffee which hath been sold by
the said United Company yet remains uncleared in
their Warehouses belonging to the buyers thereof,
and which, by a reason of the interruption given to Trade,
by the Rebellion and Disturbances subsisting in several
of the British Colonies in North America, the Proprietors
of such Coffee may not be able to export within the Term
of Three Years from the importation thereof, being
the Time limited by Law to entitle them to receive the
Drawback of the duties thereon; and it is reasonable
and necessary that some further Time should be granted
for the exportation of such Coffee; may it therefore please
Your Majesty that it may be enacted; and be it enacted by
the King’s Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the Advice
and Consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and
Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by
the Authority of the same, That if the said coffee, imported
by the said Ship Europa, in the year One thousand
seven hundred and seventy-five, and now remaining un-
cleared in the said Company’s Warehouses shall be ex-
ported to any Parts beyond the Seas at any Time
within Seven Years, to be computed from the impor-
tation thereof, there shall be drawn back and allowed for
the same, to the Exporter or Exporters thereof, such and
the same Drawbacks or Allowances, and under such
Rules, Regulations, Securities, Penalties, and Forfei-
tures, as such exporter or Exporters would have been
entitled to in case such Coffee have been exported within
the Term of Three Years from the Importation thereof;
any Law, Custom, or Usage, to the contrary notwith-
standing
