Excerpt from Observations on the Proposed Duties on the Exportation of Coals: With Tables and Statements, From Parliamentary Returns and Other Authentic Sources, April, 1842 In 1834 the duties were placed on the present footing, of a free export of coal in British or in reciprocity ships; while 43. Per ton was imposed on all descriptions of coal exported in Foreign ships, not in reciprocity with this country. It is now proposed to charge on coal exported in British and reciprocity ships the same duty of 4s. Per ton which has hitherto been charged only on foreign ships, not entitled to the advantages of reciprocity, thus subjecting all British and Foreign ships without distinction to the same rate of duty.
