REFORMS TO NAPOLEON'S LAW PASSED DURING HIS FINAL PERIOD OF RULE
Ordonnance Du Roi, Qui maintient provisoirement, avec quelques modifications, les changemens apportes par l'acte du 8 avril1815, a la perception des driots sur les boissons.
Folio broadside. [540 x 415 mm]. Printed on single side, Royal Arms of Louis XVIII printed at the head, edges uncut. (Small splits in the centre fold, minor creasing, light soiling, text intact).
Amiens: Maisnel, Imprimeur de la Prefecture. 1815
A modification to a law passed during Napoleon's last period of rule (20th March - 8th July 1815) concerning the collection of duties on beverages.
It recognises that although the law passed during Napoleon's return to power was "essentially illegal", it would be "provisionally maintained" as it represented an important branch of revenue for the State. Instead the law was reformed so that the taxable sum is reduced in favour of the taxpayer, if they were taxed beyond the value of their business.
