Your second problem presents much the same difficulty as the first. If it can be proved that the goods sold en route are certificated goods they should not be further taxed, but I cannot see how this can be proved, and therefore I do not see how they can be protected.

I am, &c. (Signed) WALTER TOWNLEY.
