His Majesty's Commissioners for the Affairs of Tales hereby
give Notice, That strict inquiries are now making as to alt Pro-
petty 60 imported or received, and by whom or on whose ac-
Count; but, being desirous to avoid the infietios of Penalties,
they hereby require, that all Persons, who, es Owners or Pro-
'prieton, or as Arcot' or Receivers of Profits or of Property, of
the descriptions above mentitoted, shall have received the same in
Great Britain, and who have neglected or omitted to comply
with the provisions of the Acta now recited, by not delivering

sion and default.
The said Commissioners baying been informed that several
)states stand charged wit:s annuities to persons residing iii Great
Britain, payable out of the, proceeds of the said Estates, and that
it has become a practice to deduct the oo.tount of the said annui-
ties from the Estimate of Profits, thereby not only seducing the
income of the Proprietor, but conoealing the payment of said
annuities, think it nectooary to state, that nu annuity or interest
of money charged on any Estate in his Moiety's Foreign Domi-
nions ought to be deducted frinn the Estimate of Profits, but
ought to be included therein as part of the profits of the Lstare,
payable to the Aoinuitants ; and that the Proprietors or their
Arms are respectively lieble to the duty to be charged thereon ;
and that, in all castes, where, after payment of such annuities, 110
profit would remain to be sesouniel for joy the Propr:etors ips7
*heir Arias, they are bound to return the amount of such Aq-
voidei and to ba charged for them.; in all Oihich cases the Pro-
prietors or their Agents respectively are to deduct frock the re-'
Istandee Aliossiotata their pr9portion of the duty so charged in
reopenthereof. fly order Of the Board, •
