Account of duties and revenue for 1760, with observations on auditing practices
Source
A fragment of administrative correspondence discussing the computation of duties and revenue for the year 1760. The writer references Mr. Taubman's audit findings showing gross duties exceeding £9,000, notes this was an exceptional year due to wine shipments to Monte Christi in Santo Domingo, and observes that lack of officers aboard arriving ships allows goods to be landed without paying duties.
