It was Allan Tyne I had roughly in my head - he didn't specifiy what he took from the revenue collector.

£500 twice is a bit repetetitive, could that be a sign of degradation, or something that a later singer or editor might tidy up?

I guess £500 in gold must have been a credible amount for a toff to have in their saddlebag when the song was written. Two reams of £50 notes would make a bulge in a pocket these days.
