Provided always that no member of the House of Commons shall at any time be concerned directly or indirectly, or any other in trust for him, in the farming, collecting, or managing any of the sums of money, duties, or other aids granted to their Majesties by this Act, or that hereafter shall be granted by any other Act of Parliament, except the Commissioners of the Treasury and the officers and commissioners for managing the customs and excise not exceeding the present number in each office.

The duties granted by the Act were on salt, beer, &c. The section makes membership a disqualification for the office, and not the office for the membership; but by 12 & 13 Will. 3, c. 10, s. 88 (p. 348), customs' officers are disqualified. In applying this provision to Irish officers by s. 4 of 41 Geo. 3, c. 52, the office, including that of Commissioners of Excise and Customs, was made a disqualification for election.

Excise.] In regard to excise, the exception in favour of commissioners and officers is taken away by 7 & 8 Geo. 4, c. 53, s. 8 (p. 368), and by the same Act commissioners and officers of excise are disqualified from sitting.
