_ 5_s._ per
ton, for the homeward cargo; this charge amounts to 35,815_l._ each
ship; the additional wages to the men, which the Company pay, and a very
small charge for demurrage, will increase the freight, &c., to
40,000_l._ per ship, agreeable to above estimate.
[D] 4. The duty of five per cent is charged by the Company on the gross
sale amount of all private trade licensed to be brought from India: the
amount of this duty is the only benefit the Company are likely to
receive from the subscription investment.
[E] 5. This charge is likewise made on private trade goods, and is
little, if anything, more than the real expense the Company are at on
account of the same; therefore no benefit will probably arise to the
Company from it on the sale of the said investment.
[F] 6. This is the sum which will probably be realized in England, and
is only equal to 1_s._ 6_d._ per rupee, on the eighty lacs subscribed.

Committee's Sixth Report.
