efFedt fo defirable a fet- 

 tlement, it is fit and 

 proper, that all articles, 

 not the growth or ma- 

 nufacture of Great 

 Britain or Ireland, 

 fhould be imported in- 

 to each kingdom from 

 the other reciprocally, 

 under the fame regul- 

 ations, and at the fame 

 duties (if fubjed to 

 duties) to which they 

 are liable, when im- 

 ported diredly from 

 the place of their 

 growth, produdl, or 

 manufacture ; and that 

 allduties originallypaid 

 on the importation in- 

 to either country re- 

 fpedively , lliall be fully 

 drawn back on export- 

 ation to the other. 



Ill) Refolved, That 

 for the fame purpofe 

 it is proper, that no 

 prohibition (hould ex- 

 ift in either country 

 againfl: the importa- 

 tion, ufe, or fale, of 

 any article, thegrowth, 

 product, or manufac- 

 ture, of the other ; and 

 that the duty on the 

 importation of every 

 fuch article, if fubjed: 

 to duty in either coun- 

 try, fliould be precife- 

 ly the fame in the one 

 country as in the other, 

 except where an addi- 

 tion may be neceflary 

 in either country, in 



to each kingdom from the other reciprocally, 

 under the fame regulations, and at the fame 

 duties (if fubjedl to duties) to which they would 

 be liable, when imported diredly from the 

 country or place from whence the fame may 

 have been imported into Great Britain or Ire- 

 land refpedively, as the cafe may be ; and that 

 all duties originally paid on importation into 

 either country refpedively, except on arrack 

 and foreign brandy, and on rum, and all forts 

 of ftrong waters not imported from the Britifli 

 colonies in the Weft-Indies, (hall be fully drawn 

 back on exportation to the other. But, never- 

 thelefs, that the duties fhall continue to be pro- 

 teded and guarded, as at prefent, by withhold- 

 ing the drawback, until a certificate from the 

 proper officers of the revenue in the kingdom 

 to which the export may be made, fhall be re- 

 turned and compared with the entry outwards. 



IV) That it is highly important to the gen- 

 eral interefts of the Britifh empire, that the laws 

 for regulating trade and navigation fhould be 

 the fame in Great Britain and Ireland ; and 

 therefore that it is efTential, towards carrying 

 into effed the prefent fettlement, that all laws 

 which have been made, or fhall be made, in 

 Great Britain, for fecuring exclufive privileges 

 to the fhips and mariners of Great Britain, Ire- 

 land, and the Britifh colonies and plantations, 

 and for regulating and reftraining the trade of 

 the Britifli colonies and plantations, fuch laws 

 impofing the fame reftraints, and conferring 

 the fame benefits on the fubjeds of both king- 

 doms, fliould be in force in Ireland by laws to 

 be paffed by the parliament of that kingdom 

 for the fame time, and in the fame manner, as 

 in Great Britain. 



V) That it is farther efiential tothis fettlement, 

 that all goods and commodities of the growth, 

 produce, or manufadure, of Britifh or foreign 

 colonies in America or the V/eft-Indies, and 

 the Britifh "or foreign fettlements on the coafl 

 of Africa, imported into Ireland, fliould on im- 

 portation be fubjed to the fame duties and re--
