WHereas by the Laws and Statutes of this Realm, the Exportation of the Gold and Silver Coins of this Kingdom is prohibited, under the Penal­ty of Forfeiture of all such Coin as shall be Exported beyond the Seas, or put on Board any Ship or Vessel in order to be Exported, or shall be in the keeping of any person that is passing in any Ship or Vessel, to go out of any Port, Haven, or Creek in this Realm: The Advantage of which Forfeiture is by the Law gi­ven to His Majesty, and no part thereof [Page 212]to the Person discovering the same; And whereas many evil disposed Per­sons, to make unreasonable and unlaw­ful Gains to themselves, do presume in Breach and Violation of the said Laws, to Export beyond the Seas great Sums of the Gold and Silver Coins of this Kingdom; which Practice, if not timely prevented, may occasion a great Dimi­nution of the Wealth of England. For the Encouragement therefore of the Officers of His Majesties Customs, and all other Persons whatsoever, to use their utmost Diligence and Endeavours to Discover and Seize all such Gold and Silver Coin, as shall be Exported or put on Board any Ship or Vessel in order to be Exported, or shall be in the Keeping of any Person passing out of this Realm; and that they may have the same share of such Coin, as shall be Seized or Dis­covered by them, as by Law is given to the Persons who shall Seize or Discover any Bullion Exported contrary to Law: It is Ordered by their Excellencies in Council, That the Lords Commissioners of his Majesties Treasury do Grant and Allow to such Officer or other Person whatsoever, who shall Discover or Seize any Sum or Sums of the Gold and Silver Coin of this Kingdom, which shall be Ex­ported, or put on Board any Ship or Vessel in order to be Exported, or shall be in the Keeping of any Person passing out of this Realm, one Moiety of such Gold or Silver which shall be so Seized or Discovered, as a Reward to such Per­son for his Diligence, in making such Discovery or Seizure.
