The Exportation (No. 2) Act 1788 (28 Geo. 3. c. 38) is an act of the Parliament of Great Britain that consolidated acts relating to the exportation of wool in Great Britain, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.
The regulations and restrictions related to the exportation of wool from the Kingdom of Great Britain and the isles of Jersey, Guernsey, Sark, Alderney and Man had become numerous and disparate, leading to the desire for consolidation.[1]
Section 1 of the act repealed all acts in force so much "as relate in any manner to the carrying coastwise, or to the said isles, or any of them, or to prevent the exportation of the following articles, goods or commodities; (that is to say) live sheep, rams and lambs, wool, woolsels, mortlings, shortlings, yarn or worsted made of wool woolflocks, cruels, coverlids, waddings, or other manufactures, or pretended manufactures, made of wool slightly wrought up, or otherwise put together, so as the same may be reduced to and made use as wool again, or mattrasses or beds stuffed with combed wool, or wool fit for combing or carding, or any fuller's earth, fulling clay, tobacco-pipe clay", except for so much of the Exportation Act 1697 (9 & 10 Gul. 3 c. 40) "as relates to wool shorn, laid up or lodged within ten miles of the sea tide within the counties of Kent or Sussex, or either of them, or to any person or persons residing within fifteen miles of the sea of the said counties of Kent or Sussex".
The Select Committee on Temporary Laws described this act as a Consolidation Act.[2]
The act was amended by the Removal of Wool Act 1814 (54 Geo. 3. c. 78), which repealed so much of thre act as respects the removal of wool, within a certain distance of the sea.[3]
The act was amended by the Fullers Earth, etc. Act 1817 (57 Geo. 3. c. 88), which permitted fuller's earth, fulling clay and tobacco pipe clay to be carried by sea under certain restrictions.
The act was amended by the Registry of Wool Act 1821 (1 & 2 Geo. 4. c. 81), so far as the act required registry of wool sent by sea.
The act was wholly repealed by the Customs Law Repeal Act 1825 (6 Geo. 4. c. 105), which contained savings for:
For the avoidance of doubt, given these savings, the act was again wholly repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act 1861 (24 & 25 Vict. c. 101).
