bad flax reed had found its way Into the country, but the badnefsof it might arife from various caufes after it had been branded. The Refolution of the Linen Board alluded to by the Right Hon. Gen tleman (Mr. Fofter) had bczn adopted immediately upon the Report of the Infpeetor General without inquiry ; he =fled, however, that the Houfe would not follow the example of the Linen Board, but allow fuflicient time for inquiry. The Collec tors he knew were highly honourable men. Mr. Coster (aid, he did not charge any Collec tor with mikonduel, but he contended that the bill itf:lf, by depriving them of their duty, was a cen lure upon them. Sir GEORGE HILL fail, he underftood the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Cony) to have paired a re vere cenfure upon the Collectors. Mr. BERESFORD Paid, he thought there was no o:cation for hurrying forward the prefent bill, as all the flax feed, wanted for the prefent year, had been already imported, and the (owing of flax feed was finithed forthe prefent feafon,he thought there fore the bill might be poftponed till next year without inconvenience. Mr. FOSTER Paid, that more than half the quan tity of flax feed u fed in lowing, could not be fown till after the tit of May. It was neceffary to pals the bill now, that it might attach upon flax feed imported after the tfi of - June. He had not charg ed any Collator with neglat of duty, but only hated generally, that the poor had fuffered by the introdultion of bad feed. After a few words from Mr. VANDELEUR,. The Q2eftion was put, and carried, that the Chairman Ihould leave the Chair, and the Houle having refound, the Committee was ordered to fit again on Monday. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEVER fuggefted a mode by which the difficulties alluded to by le veral Gentlemen might be done away ; and that was, to move for the appointment of a Committee to confider of all the Aas which were palled for the better regulation of the Trill linen or hemp manufature, as far as they related to the quantity of flax feed imported into Ireland. This Motion was put and agreed to, and all the Members fury ing for Irelandwere, with feveral others, appoint ed to fit on the Committee.—Adjourned; 1.0 NDON. SATURDAY, MAY t. Sr. PUILLIP and ST.
