intil tally years afar, that the injury of a opoly was felt by the public, and its value by the brewers. A free trade existed at that the brewers were very numerous : vast capitals accumulated by individuals, and the grow-I sof monopoly were not perceived. But du- I. e l ast thirty years, there being a vast increase homes in the metropolis, the brewers were ' g et possession of almost all the public-houses, r; the present monopoly began to be coral*- , t hat at the present moment, the whole trade ;rig was concentrated in the hands of eleven. b rew ers. It was not his object now to go into of all tier oppressions which had arisen of out of the present system, because these to be found in the Police Reports, and in Re of procetclings in Courts of Justice, all which a l rea dy before the public. It appeared by one :Mg in a court of law, that a license had .been awa y from a publican, because he had voted particular candidate at an election, in opposi to the will of the licensing magistrate. And it a ppear t hat others had lost their houses only , a nging their brewers, and others for selling beer under price. Such circumstances were detailed Police Reports; and at this moment persons Lt be found, la prisons and in workhouses, who ru ined, in consequence of having been unjustly veil of their licenses. He had travelled in fo countries, and conversed with magistrates in countries, and hid found that no such arbitrary r as was now exercised in England, existed.— did not exist at this moment in Franco. Hol-, ,or Germany. He had conversed with several ik-s of Parliament as to the mode of getting system of licensing ; but the whole appeared so bad that it could not be mended, for it would -cessary to change the whole system in principle. nses indeed were granted for many innocent pur i—such as a license to flour‘hne's hair, a license married, etc. ; aad all these were easily obtained, the licenses for sefling beer were not to be had, pt at the arbitrary will of a set of Magistrates. it would be thought if any person wishing to be *d should be told he might not have a license ? not this be complaine3 of? yet without more on a license was refused by certain individuals to •ons wishing to sell beer. Alive as they all must ) the injuriousness of this system, they must not .raly sit down under it ; particularly so, when knew what he had seen, that numbers of men been ruined, and driven to workhouses, in con lee of it Was it to be endured, that a despotic r should exist at this day, which had been de to a Royal Charles and a Royal James ? But tld rather submit to the tyranny of one King, to the arbitrary despotism of some hundreds of y tyrants. The only use he had ever known in present system of licensing was, that it exhibited rusting picture of arbitrary power. On a pro non for taking awn) , the discretionary power, were called upon to consider the property which at stake ; for this property he had no tenderness, with it, he submitted, they had nothing to do.— •v farthing of the capital which was laid ont was ended solely with a view to commanding trade, cor wrong—(Hear). If the brewer had laid. a hundred thousand pounds in hoUses, and an • hundred thousand in trade, his object was to prod: by both ; and thus the Public paid, not a decoction of malt and hops, but for an infusion .es—( Cheers). It was naturally asked, how ,ess cf these abuses was to be obtained ? He aced that the task would be an arduous one, but a same time he was satisfied it was not a hope. ne. It was tone, that there was a great phalanx in. and interest against them ; but the power Public was great also. They had also a free their favour ; and it was but just to remark, many of the Newspapers, of various political advocated zealously the cause of the Public subject ; and joined is deprecating the system Brewers—(Loud and repeated cheers). " THI had ably and repeatedly taken up the subject 'our of the Public and against monopoly, as had r Morning Post," 't The Sun," " The Globe," Statesman," " The Times,' and " The Sunday ..:h." Under all the circumstances, he repeat that he thought their case far from hopeless, and that by zeal and mrseverance they would old beer and old prices--(Cheers). He then -ed the first Resolution— That high legal authorities have declared all moeoce to • the ancient and fundamental lam of the rsa m, and to the public—first, by raising the peke of commodi second, by diminishing their quality; third, by impoverish - manufacturers." . Tutocn row to second the Resolution. If a truism upon which no difference of opinion arise. He had listened with attention to all had fallen as well from the Gentleman who had spoken, as from the Gentleman at the other end ae table (Mr. Drnry). One or two obvious facts Tally presented themselves to his mind. They been told that the brewers were a respectable and , arable set of men he believed they were, but who knew human nature would agree with him Linking, that all men who acted in a body would n their fellow men. ( Hear.) He would not, ;hat brewers were more liable to this disposition others, but such was the nature of human so y. It was the evident object of all capitalists, ac ;collectively. or individually, to make as much an as they could. Two objections had been urged, iris opinion very justly, by his Hon. Friend (Mr. smut\ on this occasion. First, to the monopoly ch existed; and, secondly, to the licensing system, :h conjointly had the effect of producing a most loos robbery on the public. He had no more aims to confide in the honour and integrity of "ers than to the honour and integrity of any other of met ; but upon a basis constituted as their mo- Dly was, there was no security whatoyer. ( Hear.) only security for the public was a fair, open, and ly competition in the market. From what he heard, he collected that the profits to the pub- Is Were 25 aad to the brewers 30 per cent. DRURY here begged to explain. Erse CHAIRMAN insisted that the Gentleman on his should not be interrupted—( Ilcar). TlLLocst begged that he might not be myna stood. The argument he ment to maintain, not rest upon the accuracy or fallacy of ealcula ,s• But supposing thew calculations to be correct, brewer paid 455. for that which cost the public -The profit, therefore, was 555. of which the inn took 255. and the brewer The general principle for which he Contended was, that there ought to be no monopoly—(Pea..)—By the term he meant nothing invidious or personal, but adventitious aids to that sort of monopoly which capital commanded. What were the grounds of defence urged in favour of the brewers ? First, that they had em barked great capitals. Every man who embarked in trade did the same thing, and therefore they Were as little entitled to exclusive privileges as any other sub jects—(Hear).--But besides being capitalists, they assumed the right of dictating who should have li censes, and who should not; thus becoming the cen sors instead of the Magistrates—(Hear).—The ef fect of getting possession of public-houses, was to enable the brewers to get rid of beverage which would not otherwise he drank. Would any man pretend that if the trade was free and open, they should be obliged to drink the same poisonous stuff which was now vended in brewers' houses (Cheers, and cries9f Ned) With respect to the abuses practised in licensing, he read an extract from Clement's Police Reports, in which the Committee of the House of Commons dis tinctly stated, on the authority of evidence, that the power assumed by the Magistrates of refusing li censes was not authorised in express words by any statute whatever. And yet those who referred to the reports in question, would see the numberless in stances in which that power had been exercised. He proceeded to shew, by reading the case of Meeke, from the Police Report, the imperious necessity that existed for altering the system of licensing. The Ma gistrates took advantage with respect to favourites, while by the law and all former practice, no license be suspended till the publican had been con victed of some misdemeanor by a Trial by Jury. Meek was not aaolitiry instance of the oppression that was exercised ; he had been robbed of 10001. that he gave for his hostsein 1815, by being refused a lieencein 1816, and he could find no other reason for it than that he had changed his brewer. Such conspiracies, which could now be carried on without the punishment of fine, imprisonment, or lopping of ears, must naturally drive all regular trade out of the market. If such conduct were no longer suffered, there would soon be an end of monopoly: but if no steps were taken, we must consent to be ground to atoms. He hoped that before the Meeting broke up some Resolutions would be come to, that might protect the public. By a unison of cordiality, reason, and justice, much might be effected against such abominable imposi tions. Twenty or thirty years ago, when a Minister intended to lay on a penny, (or he believed it was only a halfpenny per pot) he was deterred from doing it, by being told that the whole country would rise in rebellion ; and yet now a monopoly of brewers could raise the price as often as they please, and by a halfpenny advance per pot, would pocket 300,0001. with impunity before next September. If a good case could be made out and brought before Parliament, he had no doubt but the public would there meet with plenty of friends. The high price of beer was injuri ous not only to the public, but it diminished even the duties arising from it. The higher the price was to the consumer, the less he used of the article; and a consequent decrease took place in the receipt of du ties. Mr. Tilloch concluded amidst loud applause. The question being called for, it was recommended that the Resolutions might be read all together, that a distinct view might be given of their object. The CHAIRMAN wished to know whether there was l any other person disposed to address Meeting, previous to the reading of the Kilo Mr. BEAUMONT then rose, and read the tther Re solutions, which are as follow: 2. That the Legislature has passed numerous Statutesto punish such as are guilty of creating monopelies--particalarly monopo lies of the necessaries of life ' • and so early is the 2d and 34 of Edward IV. very heavy penalties were imposed on victuallers who combined together to raise the price of victual!, extending upon a second repetition of the offence to the pillory, the loss of an ear, and perpetual infamy. 3. That, notwithstanding the illegality of such conduct and its injury to the Public, a monopoly in the supply of Beer has of late years been raised in various parts' of England, and pardcu !arty in the Metropolis, insomuch that the whole custom Of hi population is engrossed by about a dozen grew Breweries,whese Principals act in combination—meeting together like partners of one concern, and fixing the price at which beer shall be sold. e. That when the reduced price of malt and hope, of horses, provender, and labour, the lessening the tax on malt, and the subsequent abolition of the Property Tar, enabled the Brewers to make great reductions in their accustomed charges, they did not make such reductions, but kept up their prices, until after their conduct, had excited animadversion in the House of Com mons, alledging as a reason for their doing so, that their stock in hand must be first disposed of. 5. That so soon as the failure of the harvest in 1816 caused the. price of malt to look up, and while their stock was wholly unaffected by the rise in the materials, they revived the high prices of Beer to the consumer, which prices they have lately still further advanced. 6. That the Beer as now made is so void o( the nourishing and invigorating qualities which it formerly possessed, and is oftentimes so ungrateful, and even injurious to the stomach, owing to die deleterious ingredients of which it is composed, that con sumers are frequently driven to use a mixture of gin with it, *Welt the semblaece of strength and spirit, or still more preju dicially to the drinking of gin instead of beer. 7. That these and numerous other evils art justly attributable to the monopoly which the great Brewers have established. s. That this monopoly is produced and upheld by the uncon stitutional power given to Justices of the Peace in their respective, localities to prevent any persons from vending Beer, excepting such persons and in such houses as they please; a power which, being subject to no human controul, and being exercised in many instances by needy or avaratious num, is naturally ap plied by them in preventing competition in trades in which they or their friends or patrons are interested. 9. That a desire to prevent an unnecessary number of houses, the reason generally assigned for refusing permission to open houses, built for public-houses, where the reasonable wants of the public require them, is evidently insincera ; because the same licensers grant licenses to public-houses in clusters, where the interest of their friends is thereby upheld, although such houses can only be supported by allowing and encouraging tad measures. 10. That the similar pretence, that competition is preven• ted, in order shag the landlords of the favoured houses may flourish, and not be induced, through necessity, to suffer din. ceded y conduct on their premises, is equally fallacious; because the owners of the favoured houses, who are generally brewers or spirit dealers, always require maw= of their tenants, equal to the value of the monopoly to them, or an additional rent ; thus keeping, the tenants' profits down, however valuable the mono poly may be to the principal. 11. That the supposition of correcting the licentiousness en couraged at some pubilc-houses, by denying licenses for others, is only calculated to benefit the monopoly system; it being evi dent, in mind*, that men will not drink.iess, or be lass dime dcrly, when drawn together in one house, than they would be if divided among two or three ; and it IS notorious in practice, that sense of the most profitable house* are among those whist are most injurious to the peblic health and morals. 15. That such is the value, however, of the prohibition of competition, that thousands of pounds are frequently given for the consideration of a license to a house, in other words, for per mission to trade, which expense, together with the extra profits secured by the monopoly, fall uric the consumers, and become a grievous burden to the lower classes of tin! community. 13. That it is unreasonable to invest Justi-.•:a of the Pt ace with the right of issuing exclusive powers for trading in victuals, when the issuing of sti:h poi►errbythe Sovereign himself is ii,clareti to be void in 14w. 14. That it is equally unreasonable to authorise the said Jot. tiara to disseize men of their liberties and flee customs, at their own will and pleasure, without being accountable to Any human being, while the King, on his Throne, is interdicted front " hur ting ur injuring" the meanest subject, unless by die worse of law, and is answer.ible for his actions in the persons of his Mi nisters. 18. That after all, these extraordinary powers, even In the purest hands, arc inefficient for the object of keeping victualling houses in good order ; because they are only in action on one day in the year, when punishment, 43 regards the past, is raiily got rid of by shifting the tenant, and as regards the futiti,:, it is es imposoible for the licensers to know that such houses as they patronise will be well conducted, as it is that those which they refuse will be disorderly. 16. That it is therefore equally in vain to expect an effectual control over public houses, or a termination of the wrongs inflicted. on the owners of houses, on victuallers, and on the public at large, under the present licensing system--a systeii which is proved to be equally inefficient for good purposes, and all-power ful for bad ones — erecting a power over the co mforts, the pro perty, and the rights of the rojett, which is anomalous in the cotu4rutional Government of this country, and which is be lieved to be unknown in any other. 17. That to produce a remedy, It is necessary for the Magir trate's power to be removed from the patronage of the trade of victualling, to the correction of the disorders which sometimes arise out of it—from the exercise of their own uncontrollable wills, to the admiration of the Legislative rules equally applica ble and exterding to all, in Which the penalties are proportioned to the offences, and attach to them immediately. lit. That in as far as it is deemed expedient to markt the number of public-houses, that end will be most fairly and bete fitually actemplished by imposing a heavy duty on the license to open any new house, thus diverting the value of the restriction from the pockets of the license jobbers to the uses of the State. 19. Th2t with a large duty imposed on leave to open a new bottle, and due means provided for immediately stopping a trade conducted in a disorderly manner, no good reason can be ad vanced against restoring to the Public the benefit of 3 free com petition, and to victuallers the common rights of their country men—Gamely, the liberty to carry on their trade in such places as they find most eligible (not being locally offensive), and to purchase their goods of such manufacturers as offer to supply these► on the best terms. Mr. JONES said, that however unwilling he should feel to interrupt for a moment the passing of such 'Resolutions as had been just read, still he thought no apology was necessary for an Englishman in' rising to express his sentiments upon a subject of such vast importance as the present. This he did with the less reluctance, in consequence of an appa rent oversight, by the Gentlemen who had already spoken, of one point connected with this matter, and which referred to the quality of the beverage used by the public. He stated himself to be a member of the medical profession, and as such most unreservedly declared that the health and lives of his Majesty's subjects were alarmingly endangered by the delete-, rious substances used in the compositiou of porter.—, (Loud cheers. I—The corporation of brewers con;. slued, as the Meeting had been told, of honourable men; perhaps the information was correct in the general acceptation of the word. But honour was of, two kinds :—one was applied by the courtesy of so ciety to almost every individual who filled a certain rank, and had the port and bearing of a Gentleman; but the other was less general in its application. He could not conceive men honourable who sought to grasp the rights and immunities of the people, who extracted their property to pamper pride :and. gretify avarice, cir'who would take advantage of thl season of misery and distress, to convert the neees4 ties of the poor to the means of their own indulgence -.-(Applauic).----It had been observed by one- Gesdeil man that, at an earlier period of our history, the Minister of the day hesitated to impo se a d uty on ' malt that would have - increased the beer by a half: penny a quart, lest a rebellion should be the cone-, quence. " This observation," said Mr. Jones, " ex cited in my mind a train of reflections which I vainly endeavoured to 'repress. I could not avoid insensibly 'comparing the character of the people in the present day with what it must have been at - the period allu ded to, and I found a contrast by no means flattering to ourselves. But, Sir, although the conduct of the brewers in modern days may not excite a rebellion, I can assure you that their productions, if I may be a little facetious, have not unfrequently been - attended - by intestine commotions--(Laughter and applause).- -.The frequency of bowel complaints has been within the few last years a matter of much astonishment to my learned brethren; but in those cases where I have been professionally consulted, I have no hesita tion in saying that the disease has been caused by the use of beer or porter, 'and could be cured solely by abstaining from that beverage."—Mr. Jones then pro ceeded to remark upon the cruel effects of the system of licensing, and of the influence exercised over the licensing Magistrates by the brewers, as they were exemplified in the publicaos, This class of persons were in a state of more Aslorable servitude than were the serfs under the feudal Barons. The publi can oainls in awe of his landlord, of his brewer; and should he fail in the obsequiousness of his humility to them, he was at their mercy, for the Government had deprived him'of his constitutional protection—a trial by juty.—He had expected that the brewers would have some persons m defend. them at the Meeting that day, but he was dis4ppointed. He thonght that their influence and' their dependants were so widely esfeided, that, like the Forty Mimes, they, would have sprung out of their barrels to defend thein.selves.--4Lcagitter)—He concluded V,strongly enfoicing the necessity o,f.their relinquishing the rise of porter, if the brewers were found perseveringly hostile to a fair price for their manufacture. Mr. Scuutres spoke in strong terms against the in novations of monopolists, tracing them from the times of Magna Charts and other laws, when- even the Church combined with the Stip, to check their im positions on the public, by :ulminating anathemas against them. leis warmly defended the publicans against the tyranny of the brewers and trading Jus tices, and asserted that elm practices of the country 'brewers, particularly in Beaks, where he resided, were much more oppressive and infamous even than in Liosidon. There the spirit-dealers who held the leases of 'houses, compelled their tenar.ts to deal with parti cular brewers, and the latter returned tjlem the same compliment. Ha remembered that 2.2 years ago he *as very ill, and an eminent Physician recommended him to drink plenty of porter as a fine medicine. He 4d so, and W.I. cured ; but be should be very sorry to repeat the same experiment. In. addition to ' abuses already stated, which he repeated, be ob- Lw d. that every tenant of a brewer's house- was Cbligod to stote.a; elections, according to the will of his landlord. wet thus controuled the dearest right 'Of as Egglialsnlass, to. give his vote according to his (emseienee, Bew nothing could so effectually coun teract this :swop* as abolishing die slave trade that teggcled licenses, eel peciedilsig dealing in English liberti; fat 011 * 6 t 0° 11(31 1 be allowed tel tate:fere In ell Mantic% inokher soon start up, till monopoly and Oppression bettithe universal, and We may expect to be 6ttliged t'6 have licenses tbr every thing We dQ, till set last Wit rtiiet be compelled to put at our fires and essinei in the summons of a Ministerial Prefeeh s.. . Mr. flotsam regretted that t he it elOtsttotts *Ms more argumentative than founded bet fact ; and the results had been appeals to the passion's, raths't than elucidations of the subjesr. Elfin the 110, arid liber ties of the brewers seemed excluded frond thak pro tection expected by others. No eommertill man thought he ought to be obliged td expo* his prdflis to any individual whatever. He Would not say that the price of porter WU not too high ; but the subject ought to have been taken candidly up, The defect, he said, was in the licensing system, with which those respectable men who encouraged a free trade had nothing to do, and would most willingly joirt kri a Petition to Parliament for's remedy. It Isms, he raid, a fact, that those who had the greatest trade were possessed of the smallest number of leases, because ::the excellence of their article rendered It unficce3sary to force a trade, a resource to which many applied in order to have their wretched stuff swallodved. There was another thiftg highly injurious ; some pageant were in the habit of making seven butts of beer out of the six sent to them by the l)rewerseries of?o; no) He referred them to the late convictidn of two rib& cans in the Exchequer, for the truth of this stateittent. He denied that the brewers were interested or invol' red in the iniquitous system of licensing ; for the most respectable brewers were injured rather than benefited by holding public houses, and they were greater sufferers than the public, by being obliged to purchase such houses in their own defence. The Act of George IL was rendered necessary, because at that time spirits were so cheap, that it was written up over the dour of gin-shops—" Here you may,get drunk for 2d. dead drunk for .3d. and be furnished 'with clean straw gratis !" That it had turned into another evil could not be denied ; but the capital of the brewers had never been acquired in any thing like such a rapid degree as arose from other manufactur ing concerns. He regretted that instead of the Reso lutions that had been read, one had not been propo. , sed for a petition to that body, Where only a revs son of the Jaws could take place. Mr. BEAUMONT said, that if the Hon. Gentle-tan had waited, he would hare heard just such a Resolu tion as that to which he alluded. The first Resolur dons were declaratory, and if the Meeting approved them, he should then move, " That a Committee be appointed, to be called the Antl-Mono‘ poi 7 Committee, for the purpose of reducing the Resolutions now agreed to in a Petition to Parihunant, fat restoring to the public the right of a free trade in Beer, guarding against nuisances, and adopting such measures on this subject as may be conducive to the public welfate." Mr. GIRDLER, a Magistrate, said, the ptiblk Were certainly the victims of monopoly In more instances than one. There was a monopoly in bread, which. was th^ staff cf life. The badness of the breed; and taking the poisonous liquor called beef Upon It, ?night well cause commotLns in the stomach. When the gentlemen brewers prosecuted some persons pl the King's Bench, Lord Ellenborough said he was not satiiffied with their affidavits. "- Let me, " said he, . " have affidavits that there are not poisorobs ingre• clients put into the beer after it is made." But the brewers knew they did use deleterious mixtures = they therefore never came forward, and the persons were • discharged. Thus between bread and beer, the pub. lie stood a fair chance of being all poisoned ; and the monopolizers all drank the tears of the poor in silver goblets. Mr. Dnuer explained his former statement, and repeated the calculations, which will be found cert rectly given in his early speech. He denied that the brewers got $Ol. per cent. or near it ; and as to the charges against them, he did not believe that, in ge• neral, they deserved any of them. -In January, 1817, • he could say, upon his honour, that he lost five s 1 d. lings upon every barrel he brewed ; and out of nine • breweries in his parish a shprt time ago, there were now only two. The labouring part oi the commu nity also experienced a disadvantage by the decided preference which the rich possessed ; because the-lats • ter were epabled to brew strong beer for their large . establishment, without the payment of any duty, I whilst the former, who were supplied by the common brewer, were paying one penny per pot more, or nearly so, for every pot drank. Mr. HOLMES explained some misrepresented views i that had been taken of what he said, and suggested . that the title " Anti-Monopoly," should be left out, . I As he sat , : no reason for holding out defiance to the r brewers, and tuts depriving the Committee of their t 28srttaliee. ' • • • Mr. Bunewitt. said he should also object to that titli, t hut for the reason that it was not strong enough. It ought to be called the Anti-Criminal Comxpracy 'Committee." - He defended the publicans on every grdund, particularly as being grossly oppressed by the brewers, and more so in the country than in' Lou.r don. Those who had defended them had only mad/ the case out worse than it was before.—(lferir).- IHe mentioned a circumstance of his being about to purchase an estate in Buckinghamshire, but declined it, because four public houses were to be included, that only let 'for five pounds a-year each, and he was required to give 50 year? purchase for them. Ano ther person, however, stepped it, and gave 100 years'. purchase for them ! These houses belonged to brervers, who forced the tenants to take their beer. After a few words from Mr. TILLocn and Mr. BEAUMONT, in explanation, the Resolution was agreed to unanimous)y, as was one containing . a list of the names of Gentlemen to form the Gommatee. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman and to Mr. Beau 'lnont, and the Meeting broke up. thrtll73l2D Se..istrio.—The following instance of robbery and grow ingratitude, was communicated yesterday to the jean MIAMI, by the Cotnnsltte2 f.ir relieving mendicant seam sin , tLng as the King's Head, Poultry.
