_ 472 _ consider that the door-keeper should do all this and should have no more than the above salary and perquisites. C. 55 No salary is to be paid by the royal treasury to the revenue collectors of the fortress. Item: Two revenue collectors are serving in this customs house Moor who collects the dues from the Moors, and a Portuguese who collects the dues from the Portuguese. The Moor used to receive a salary of two leques sixty azars and the Portuguese one hundred and seventy azars. I direct that these revenue collectors are not to receive anything from the royal treasury because I am informed that the dues of this customs house, both from Portuguese and from Moors, are collected there, before the goods leave the customs house, as is now laid down, and as a result this payment can be avoided. If the factor wishes to have these collectors, he may do it on his own account and obligation. C. 56 Item: A Portuguese man is responsible for going to the ports on the mainland to record the caravans and the goods which come in them and make a list of them to bring to the customs house. For this he receives a salary of thirty thousand reis per year. This office and salary will be abolished because I consider it unnecessary.
