‎MANUSCRIPT: BOARD OF CUSTOMS‎

‎Customs establishment for summer quarter ending the 5th of July 1769. And Customs establishment for Michaelmas quarter ending the 10th October‎

‎1769. Two vols. large folio 48 x 30 cms 74 4 and 74 2 pages written up in ink in a neat contemporary clerical hand all on rectos all versos and additional unused leaves also ruled in red ink ledger style bound in uniform contemporary vellum panelled in gilt with the large gilt arms of the Custom House London> on each cover all edges gilt. In fine crisp state of preservation. Two extremely rare consecutive original ledgers recording in the greatest detail the complete establishment of the Customs in England and Wales for a six month period in 1769. A search for holdings of these manuscripts confirms that there is a complete set of all 607 volumes of the establishment lists of the Board of Customs 1671 to 1909 covering the period 1675 - 1813 at the Public Record Office Kew. There appear to be other copies only at Cambridge University Library ref. ADD 5224-81 which has a substantial run covering the period from 1763 to 1829. The British Library also holds establishment lists for 1762-63 and Sheffield archives those for 1765-66. None is held by the Guildhall Library nor by the London Metropolitan Archives. Although these two volumes only cover the six month period from April to October 1769 they provide an extraordinarily detailed portrait of one of the key departments of government in mid-18th century Britain. They show a massively expensive civil service department headed by 9 Commissioners each on a basic salary of �1000 p.a. one of whom was Corbyn Morris d. 1779. Each of the members of staff is named and each salary or other remuneration is recorded with the relevant job title. And so in London alone the cost of the vast establishment of commissioners receivers comptrollers clerks inspectors examiners surveyors warehousekeepers doorkeepers messengers land carriage men coastwaiters watermen watchmen noontenders weighing porters landwaiters tidesurveyors preventive officers tidesmen searchers and so on amounted to a massive �17485 for this half year alone. Although the port of London saw something like 75% of all British import trade there were of course numerous other ports of entry each with its own Customs' staff. These establishment accounts actually list 71 such ports many of them remaining recognisable ports today but others now of little more than historical curiosity for example Arundell Aldeburgh Chepstow Faversham Ilfracombe Minehead Maldon Penryn Preston Southwold Woodbridge and Wisbech. The Harwich team cost a little over �234 for three months. Of this the Collector Griffith Davies was paid �30 the Inspector of the Waterguard �15 and the Tidesurveyor also �15. A waiter and searcher operating at Manningtree cost �10. The biggest expense was for the crew of the Customs' smack the commander one Cyprian Bridge getting �50 per annum with the 14-man crew costing approaching �430 for a whole year a figure that included food. 1769 hardcover‎
