It appears that from time immemorial this Company also enjoyed the exclusive right of loading and landing, rolling, pitching and turning all wines and spirits imported to, or exported from the City of London, and all places within three miles of the same. From this franchise which was, and still is exercised by its tackle porters, the Company derived a very considerable emolument till in the years 1799, 1800, 1804, and 1805, several Acts of Parliament were passed, by which this privilege was in a great measure curtailed. The Company indemnifies those persons employing its tackle porters against all losses of wines and spirits caused through their negligence or accident. The number of liverymen called during ten years is 206. The Corporate Income is £9500; the Trust Income is £1500. 1. A freeman or his widow has a claim to relief. When admitted by patrimony or servitude, a freeman, or his widow, enjoys the privilege of a “Free Vintner,” and, if exercising such privilege, is exempt from “Billeting,” _i.e._ having soldiers or sailors quartered in his or her house. 2. The average annual sum distributed amongst the members of the court of assistants has amounted, during the last ten years, to £886 : 11s., being about £50 each per annum (income tax free). Members of the court receive no pensions or donations. No fees are paid to liverymen or freemen. The average annual sum paid to liverymen and freemen, and their widows, in pensions and donations during the last ten years has amounted to £2503. 3. The qualifications for a pension are: being a member or widow of a member in reduced circumstances, between the ages of fifty and sixty, or, if younger, being in ill-health. For a donation: membership, or being the widow or child of a member.
