Great alnager of Ireland

Quotes[edit]

Information derived from "An Account of Ireland, in 1773.":[1]

Alnage Duties were established by the 17 & 18 Charles 2, for regulating and maintaining the trade and mystery of making woollen cloth, and for the better ascertaining the length, breadth, and weight of all cloths to be made in Ireland.

An Alnage office was created, the principal officer of which was called the King's Alnager, and was appointed from time to time by Letters Patent under the Great Seal for years or for life, as the King thought fit.

The Alnager, by himself or deputy, was to measure, weigh, and search all woollen cloths, both old and new drapery, made in Ireland, before they were offered for sale, or embarked, to see whether they were of the breadth, length, and weight prescribed by the Act.

If the Alnager found the cloth to be merchantable goods, and lawfully made, he was to seal them with a seal or mark, to be allowed by the treasurer, or Chancellor of the Exchequer. And he was to take and receive to His Majesty's use, 4 d. for every broad cloth by way of subsidy, and 1⁄2 d. for his own fee for sealing, and so rateablv for all old drapery.

For every piece of, say, serge, stuff, knit stockings, and all new drapery, he was to receive for every 4lbs. weight, for the subsidy of the same, one farthing, and for his own fee one farthing.

For measuring or weighing any broad cloth, and other drapery, containing in length 23, and from 23 to 25 yards, the Alnager's fee was 2 s., and so rateably, according to the number of yards which it might contain.

These duties of Alnage had been introduced in Ireland in the reign of King James I., but were little attended to till after the Restoration, when they were re-established by the above-mentioned Act. Very soon after it was passed, the Crown alienated the whole revenue arising from the Alnage for 61 years, at a rent of 10 l. per annum; and by successive alienations it was since continued in private hands, without even the small reserved rent of 10 l. being accounted for, either to the Crown or to Parliament.

Two circumstances are worthy of notice relative to the Alnage. One is, that it is the only part of the Hereditary Revenue, where the whole duty came to the Crown without deduction, the officer's fee being always paid by the subject. The other is, that the alienation (undisputed for above 100 years), proved incontestably the authority of the Crown over all parts of the Hereditary Revenue, which were not specially guarded against alienation by positive Act of Parliament.

The amount of the Alnage duties being known only to the parties who carefully kept the secret, cannot be given.

George Augustine Thomas O'Brien:[2]

To encourage the woollen manufacture was one of Ormond's great ambitions, and, with this end in view, he succeeded in getting passed an Act, which, after reciting that the credit of Irish woollen cloth was impaired abroad by the false and uncertain making thereof, provided that all old and new drapery should be made of specified dimensions, and that an alnage office and alnager should be appointed to regulate the inspection and sealing of the cloth.[2) 17&18 Car.2 c.15] This Act was not a success. In 1666 Sir George Rawdon referred to "the alnage business which has made such a disturbance in this and other markets by seizing every piece of cloth and woollen stuff, by the corruption and knavery of those that form it. ... These projects are not the way to increase but to hinder our little trade."[3) CSPIre 1666-9 p.5] It does not even seem to have succeeded in reforming the abuse at which it was originally aimed; in 1682 there were still complaints of "the abuses in our worsted manufacture by which their value and credit are impaired."[4) Lawrence, The Interest of Ireland in its Trade and Wealth Stated, Dublin, 1682] In 1695 a petition was presented to the House of Commons from the corporation of weavers of Dublin, on behalf of all the weavers in Ireland, complaining that the Act was in many respects destructive of the woollen manufacture, that it was not carried out properly, and that the alnager's deputies were incompetent and accustomed to demand excessive fees.[5) ICJ v.2 p.62] In the same year the Committee of Trade reported that the alnage Act was impracticable and prejudicial, and advised that it should be repealed.[6) ICJ v.2 p.95] The Act, however, was not repealed until 1779.[7) 19&20 Geo.3 c.20]

Notes and Queries 1873:[3]

From the reign of Richard I to the last year of William III, there existed an officer called the Great Alnager, or Aulnager. He took the duty or tax on cloth measured by the aulne or ell. The post, abolished in England, survived in Ireland till the Georgian Era had nearly run its course. The last holder in Ireland was a Lord de Blaquiere; but after the office was suppressed, the salary (£1,000 a year) was continued to that Lord and to his descendants. Among the titles of the present Lord is "Great Alnager of Ireland," which is as out of place as "King of France" among the titles of the King of Great Britain and Ireland.

Calendar of State Papers on Ireland: 1666–69, p.170 (31 July 166) and p.256 (28 December 1666) king recommends Richard Butler, 1st Earl of Arran as Almager.

31 July 1716:[7]

1666-09-01 letter patent to "to Richard, late Earl of Arran, the office of Alnager and Collector of the Subsidies of Alnage within the kingdom of Ireland and also the Duties of Alnage there for 61 years from date thereof". Returned 1716-07-26 for £5000 by earl's heir Charlotte wife of Charles, Lord Cornwallis

Possibly relevant to the Alnager overlap between Reading / Arran / Hamilton~Abercorn is a similar overlap as regards lighthouse duty: awarded 1665 (Reading) and 1666 (Arran),[8] later Reading surrendered dues and interest passed to James Hamilton, 6th Earl of Abercorn, forfeited November 1704 for dereliction of duty.[9]

1764 March 17: Proclamation for the better collection of the alnage on woollens.[10]

Post of alnager abolished in 1699, but alnage/ulnage lasted until 1724.[11] Egan 1991 cites Heaton 1965 (2nd ed.) p.423;[12] Heaton 1920 (1st ed.) p.423 says:[13]

By the end of the reign of James II there had grown up a considerable amount of opposition to the ulnage fee; many were demanding that the office should be abolished, and the loss to the Crown compensated by increased custom's dues on exported cloth. The Yorkshire clothiers were amongst the strongest supporters of this suggestion, and in 1693 they petitioned the House of Commons, declaring that the office 'is now useless and no-ways answers the end of its first constitution, but is become very burdensome to the subject, and a great hindrance to the woollen trade'.[1 House of Commons Journals, xi. 16. Also House of Lords MSS., Hist. MSS. Comm., xiii, pp. 225–6.] The farmers of the ulnage naturally opposed the destruction of their office and means of revenue; they pointed out that the patent granted in 1664 had still thirty years to run, and they did not intend to renounce such a profitable investment. Hence, though many bills were introduced to bring the institution to an end, all failed, and the ulnage did not finally expire until the termination of the Lennox licence in the reign of George I.[2 See also House of Lords MSS., Hist. MSS. Comm., xiv, pt. vi, p. 41.]

No, Act was passed in 1699 but excepted existing patents of Lenox which lasted until 1724.[14]

S.3 patent explained here:[15]

1707 6 Anne c.[44 Stats of Realm; 99 in source; 9 in Ruffhead] An Act for the exportation of white Woollen Cloth, before being dressed.
This exportation had been prohibited in 1522, by 14 & 15 Hen. 8, c. 3; but in 1562, Queen Elizabeth, in her sixth year, granted a patent to the Hamborough Company, with liberty to export 30,000 cloths, not wrought or dressed. Also, in 1676, Charles the Second, in his 28th year, granted a patent to Sir James Hayes, and Sir Peter Apsley, Knights, in trust for the Countess of Portland, for twenty-one years, to license the exportation of all kinds of woollen cloths, white, or coloured, though not dressed. At the expiration of that patent in 1707, the exportation of white cloths was stopped, and in consequence this Act was passed to permit the exportation. Another Act was also passed, at the same time, 6th Anne, c. 8, to impose a duty of five shillings upon the export of every white cloth, in order to encourage the dyeing and dressing of such cloths in England.

1872 HL Bill 217 Statute Law Revision (Ireland) Act 1872 — repeal for Ireland of English acts extended there by Poynings' Law — note on format of schedule in bill as opposed to act

[statute] 11 Hen.6. c.9
[abstract] Recital of the Statutes 17 H.2. c.2, 7 H.4. c.10, 11 H.4. c.6, respecting the Alnage and Measure of cloths. The said Statutes declared to extend only to whole cloths. Length and Breadth of Cloths called Streits. Cloths shall not be put to sale until measured and sealed by the Alneger. Penalty on him for sealing defective cloths.
[status] Repealed by 49 Geo.3. c.109. s.1
[commentary] It may be doubted whether this repeal extended to Ireland. If not, the Act may be regarded as virtually repealed in part (as to Aulnager) by 57 Geo. 3. c. 109., and as to residue obsolete. The Act here referred to (17 Ric. 2. c. 2.) is repealed by present Bill.

It re-enacts the 17th and 18th George [? recte Charles] II., the 19th and 20th George III., and 21st and 22nd George III., all of which are worth perusal as bearing on questions of Irish Industries.
