[..] distance of three Quarters of a Mill.
That the Prices of Cartage have been raised at various times, on divers Pretences and your Petitioners not
being apprised of the late application, had no opportunity of opposing the same
That the high Price of Provender for Horses alledged by the Carmen in support of their application
for an Increase of Cartage is now in a great Degree removed, and the Pavement so much improved that they
can carry two Loads to most of these Warehouses within the same time they usually carried one to some others
for which they demanded no greater Fare
That your Petitioners apprehend and humbly submit to this honourable Court that the Rate formerly
Paid vizt. one shilling Per Hogshead from the Waterside to any of your Petitioners Warehouses and Ten Pence
Per Hogshead from such Warehouses to the Waterside is an ample and Sufficient Compensation as by that
means each Cart which Generally carries three Hogsheads, earns three Shillings for every turn from the waterside
[..] two shillings and six pence [..] turn from such Warehouse to the Keys
Your Petitioners therefore most humbly Pray Your Lordship and Worships to regulate and assess the
Price of Cartage of Tobacco to and from Your Petitioners Warehouses in such manner as to
Your Lordship and Worships shall seem just and equitable
And your Petitioners shall ever Pray Etc.
