Act of Parliament, 1803. It\u2019s about further regulations to the ports around Kent i.e. Customs, as I understand it. I suppose it\u2019s meant to tighten up the rules around smuggling. 7.5 x 11.75 inches. A bit discoloured but in very good condition. There is a slight water stain in the bottom left-hand corner which can be seen in the photos.
\nIt\u2019s actually quite interesting. I have read it and found it absorbing, which is unusual for an official document. I could collect these but I think it\u2019s 20 years too late to start a new collection.
\nShare certificates. 1909.<\/a> are the nearest I can find at the moment to an internal link but I do intend to list some more Acts of Parliament soon.<\/p>\n

I have a couple more of these from the same collection. I shall list them soon. Are they collected? They\u2019re certainly interesting and I haven\u2019t seen many of them over the years.
\nI bought this from my friend on the Kent coast. He buys anything related to where he lives and then often sells it to me when he realises that he has a house full of clutter. Sound familiar?
\nI\u2019ve looked online for a good external link and I keep forgetting about\u00a0http:\/\/abebooks.com.<\/a>
\nThey\u2019re not just good for books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
