LOCKHART held in his hand a Petition, • more than fourteen thousand persons, in of London and its immediate vicinity, ,m were several Magistrates of the county, semen of fortune, many resFectable trades the remainder of the names were from the of the labouring classes in the metropolis. of the Petition was the present high price and the very inferior quality of that neces as compared with what it had been.— respect to the high price of porter, it was stated - titiouers, that this was produced by a mo the part of the great London Brewers.— prices of malt and hops, and of labour, finished, and when the Property Tax had away, no adequate reduction had taken to price of porter. The reason given for thatthe stock then on hand was not affected line in the price of malt, &c. and must be 'before that relief which the public looked )e afforded. But when the state of things tut, when in 1815 the prices of malt and up, the price of porter immediately rose, stock then on hand mnst have been the rf a year of low prices. The Petitioners ,mplained, that the quality of porter had so' ed that it was no longer that invigorating vhich cheered the heart of man and enabled -stain the severest toil; but on the contrary, ated by the introduction of certain deleterious *.s, instead of nourishing the human frame, tended to impair the constitution of those it.

The Petitioners proceeded to state o that the monopoly of which they complained , was produced and fostered by die existing laws with respect to licenses. By the law as it stood . at present, the Magistrates were invested with the power of say ing who should and who should not carry on the trade of a victualler. They could, at any time, force a man to leave his house, and it was for them to de termine when and where he should follow the calling of a publican. This would not be a great evil if a sound discretion were exercised by the Magistrates, but the Licensing Magistrates, in deciding on cases' of this description, it was said did not exercise -a sound discretion. Licenses were withheld, or given by them with a view to the profit and advantage of certain brewers who were their patrons—(hear.)-1 They further complained of the power given to the Magistrates to take away the licence of any victualler for alleged misconduct without any kind of trial.— This, they contended, was inconsistent with the prin ciples of English law, as it enabled a Magistrate, at his pleasure, to deprive an individual of his calling, and perhaps of his property, and thus not unfre quently to involve him in unmerited ruin. Some in stances were stated to have occurred in which this power had been used in a most arbitrary and unjust , manner. The remedy which the Petitioners sugges ted for these evils was an open trade. They recom mended that a licence should be granted to any per son wishing to carry on the business of a Victualler, on his paying a duty which might be imposed to be nefit the revenue, without the intervention of the Ma gistrate. When a licence should be taken away, they wished it to be withdrawn on some known legisla tive rule, and not at the pleasure, or on the indivi dual opinion of a Magistrate. This the Petitioners were satisfied was the only ratnedy that could be ap plied to the evil of which they complained, and this they thought would speedily remove the grievances of excessive price and great deterioration of the qua lity of that necessary article, Porter These were the facts of the case ; for the truth of them he could not pledge himself, but he had thought it his duty to lay this very important Petition before the House, in such a manner that it should attract their attention. He might, however, he allowed to recommend it, as it went againit an alleged monopoly, and a mono.; poly to advance the price of provisions was abhor rent to all law, and opposite to every principle of good commercial policy, as reasonable prices were only to be expected from an open trade and free competition. The Petition too, he would say, was in several particulars borne out by the Report of the Committee on the Police of the Metropolis. The most eminent men in the brewing line were examined before that Committee, and it had appeared to the Committee, as might be seen from their Report, that within the last few years the practice of purchasing public-houses by Brewers had greatly increased. Nearly one-half of the public-houses in the Metropo lis had. thus become the property of the Brewers. This system it condemned, as most injurious to the public at large. It would thus be seen that the Peti tioners had not come to the House on slight grounds, since the system which they desired to put down had receivzd the strong condemnation of a Committee of that Douse.--The Petition was then brought up and read. To the Ifoxotoiastr the COMMOVI of the Therein Ktecnon Of Gassy BLITAPIand 1111CLANDiti Parliament assembled, the humble P/71I1OS of the WWII/ANT* of LAMDON and its V 1001177, 1. That your Petitioners are much aggrieved by the high price and inferior quality of the Beer which is obtruded upon them in consequence of the supplying of that necessary of life being confined to certain privileged individuals and places. 2. That high lerl authorities have declared all Monopolies to be against the ancient and fundamental laws of the realm, and injurious to the public—first, by raising the price of commodi ties; secondly, by diminishing their quality; thirdly, by impo verishing poor manufacturers. 3. That the Legislature has passed numerous statutes to pu nish such as are guilty of creating Monopolies—particularly rt,o nnpolies of the necessaries of life; and so early as the ad and 3d of Edward IV. very heavy penalties were imposed on victual lers who combined together to raise the price of victuals, extend ing upon a second repetition of the offence to the pillory, to the loss of an ear, and perpetual infamy. 4. That, notwithstanding the illegality of such conduct and its injury to the public, a Monopoly in tee supply of Beer has of late years been raised in various parts of England ; insomuch, that nearly the whole custom of the metropolis is engrossed by eleven great breweries, whose principals act in combination— meeting together like the partners of one concern, and fixing the price at which beer shall be sold. 5. That when the reduced price of malt and hops, of horses' provender and labour, the lessening of the tax on malt, and the subsequent abolition of the Property Tax, enabled the brewers to make great reductions in their accustomed charges, they did not make such reducdons, but kept up their prices, until after their conduct had excited animadversions in the House of Com mons, alleging as a reason for their doing so, that their stock in hand must be first disposed of. 6. That so soon as the failure of the harvest in 1811 caused the price of malt to look up, and while their stock in band was wholly unaffected by the rise of the materials, they revived the, high prices of beer to the consumer, which prices they have lately still further advanced. 7. That beer as now made is so void of the nourishing and in vigorating qualities which it formerly possessed, and is often times ungrateful and even injurious to the stomach, owing to the deleterious ingredients of which it is in some instances com posed, that consumers are frequently driven to use a mixture of gin with it, to give it the semblance of strength and spirit, or still more prejudicially to the drinking of gin iustead of beet. 8. That these and numerous other evils are justly attributable to the Monopoly which the great brewers have established. 9. That this Monopoly is produced and upheld by the uncon stitutional power given to Justices of the Peace, in their respec tive localities, td prevent any persons front vending beer except big such persons and in such houses as they please; a power which being subject to no human contrpol, and being exercised in many instances by needy or avaricious men, is naturally applied by them in preventing competition in trades in which they or their friends or patrons are interested. 10. That a desire to prevent an unnecessary number of houses, the reason generally assigned for refusing permtssien to open houses, built for public-houses, where the reasotable wants of the public require them, is evidently insincere; because the same licensers grant licences to public-houses in dusters where the terest of their friends is thereby upheld, although such houses can only be supported by allowing and encouraging bad practices. 11. That the similar pretence, that competition is prevented in order that the landlord of the favoured houses may flourish, and not be induced through necessity to suffer disorderly con duct on their premises, is equally fallacious ; because the owners of the favoured houses, who are generally brewers or spirit dealers, always require prentlums 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 neinse may be to the principal. 12. That the supposition of correcting the licentiousness es-, couraged at some public houses, by denying licenses for coheir, I ts only calculated to benefit the 'Monopoly. system ; 1t being !VI. dent in principle, dust men will not drink 1 ss or be less disor &Tit when drawn together in one house than they would be if divided among two or three ; and notorious in practice that some of the houses which command a superior share of cus tom and profit, ara among those which are most injurious to the imblic health and morals. s. 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 upon the consumers, and become a griesecrus berthen to the lower classes of the community. 11. That it is unreasonable to invest Justices of the Peace with the right of issuing exclusive powers for trading in victuals, when the issuing of inch powers by the Sovereign himself is de clared to be void in law. 15. That it is equally unreasonable to authorise the said Jus tices to " disseize men of their liberties and free customs," at their own will and 'insure, without being accountable to any humaibeing, while the King, on hit throne, is interdicted from " hurting or injuring" the meanest subject, unless by due course of law ; and is answerable for his acts in the persona of his Ministers. 16. That theseextraordinary and unconstitutional powers, even in the purest hands, are wholly inefficient for the object of keep ing victualling-houses in good order; because they are only in action one day in the year, when punishment, as regari.s the past, is easily got rid of by shifting the tenant, and as regards the future, it is as impossible for the licensers to know that such houses as hey patronize will be well conducted as it is that these which they refuse to license would be disorderly. 17. That it is therefore equally in vain to expect an effectual controul over public-houses, or a termination of the wrongs in- Meted on the owners of houses, on victuallers, and on the public at large, under the present licensing systt-ns—a system which is proved to be all.impotent for good purposes, and all-powerful for bad ones—erecting a despotic controul over the comforts, the property, and the rights of the subject, which is anomalous in the constitutional government of this country, and which is believed to be unknown in any other. 18. That to produce a remedy, it is necessary fur the Magis trates 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 exercises of their own uncontrollable wills, to the administration of Legislative Rules equally applica ble and extending to all, and in which the penalties are propor tioned to the offences, and are operative immediately. 19. That in as far as it is deemed expedient to restrict the number of public houses, that end will be most fairly and bene ficially accomplished by investing a large duty on the license to open anynew house, thus diverting the value of the restriction from the pockets of the license-jobbers to the uses of the State. 90. That with a large duty imposed on leave to open a new house, and due means provided for immediately stopping a trade conducted in a disorderly manner, no person would risk the ca pital necessary to establish a new trade, unless he could do it upon safe grounds, and therefore no good reason can be advanced against restoring to the public the benefit of a free competition, and to tictualkrs the common rights of their countrymen ; namely, 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 them on the best terms. . Your Petitioners humbly submit the above propositions to the wisdom and paternal care of your Honourable House, in the hope that your Honourable House may restore to the piddle generally the right of a free trade in beer, and to the victualler in parti cular the protection of laws, instead of the wills of indivi fuels, subject to such Legislative regulations for the trade as shall be deemed conducive to the public welfare. And your Petitioners will ever pray, Dec. Mr. BARCLAY claimed the attention of the House while he answered the Petition which had been presented by a statement of facts. He could have wished some of his Majesty's Ministers to be present to kear the explanation he was anxious to of fer. Though the question was one which deeply af fected the Brewers and a larp body of•respectable men who were connected with totem, yet he considered it to he also one in which all the Members of that House must take a lively interest, and Ministers were bound to give their attention to that from which nearly a fiftieth part of the whole revenue of the country was derived, namely, the sum of 900,0001. He wished to make some observations on the man ner in which this Petition had been produced. The Honourable Gentleman then gave the history of the publication of Mr. Beaumont's Resolutions in the Newspapers, the substance of which were embodied in the present Petition, and of the Meeting subse quently called to take them into consideration, at the Crown and Anchor. At that Meeting, which he had understood was not very numerous, those Reso lutions were proposed, and of course passed unani mously. In such an assembly, it was impossible to suppose that any person who might speak on behalf of the Brewers could obtain a fair hearing. This was not to be expected, after the Chairman, in open ing the business, had pronounced the bitterest phi lippic that could issue from the lips of man, against a class of persons of whose conduct he could positively know nothing. The Resolutions of the Meeting were published in all the Papers, and after a sufficient time had elapsed, this Petition was produced. Of this he had only to say, that, large as it was, he was astonished that it had not double and treble the num ber of signatures attached to it that had actually been procured. He had expected more, as he knew that the Petition had been left in shops, where those who went in were requested to sign it; and this had been done not only in the City, but in the environs, while men were sent about bearing large boards, in viting the public to sign it, and inscribed—" A free trade and a fair trial." Mr. Beaumont, after the Meeting, had published his speech, which he (Mr. , Barclay) now held in his hand, and to which he should presently have occasion to refer. He should first reply to what was said of the monopoly of the eleven London Brewers, for against them the charge was directed, as there was a marked distinction be tween these and the Brewers in the country, though the latter had public-houses of their own, as well as the Brewers in town. In the Metropolis these were three breweries which brewed more than half of the beer consumed. Now what had been proved in evi •dence? Why, that out of the public-houses served by the concern with which he was connected, °fie in eight had been purchased by the Brewer. The pro portion of those in the same situation which were served from the Brewery of Whitbread and Co. was one to seven. In short, out of the whole—out of about two thousand public-house 'in the Metropolis,' there might be two or three hundred in the hands of Brewers. A certain number of houses that had not been purchased were filled by persons who had re ceived loans from the Brewers, for it was the practice of all of them to lend sums in this -way on the lease of the house. 'These, • however, were not bound to the Breweries with which they were thus connected, as, if they should find the article with which they Waft served such as the public did not like, they could pay the money that had been advanced to them, and go elsewhere, Between two and three hundred persons lie knew had thus changed in the course of last year> - He meant, such a number had come to the house with which be was connected, or gone from it under such circuity:maces. Now it veas .Said w ititatt by the loans thus esie'Auced, the capital laid out by the Brewers was so hi public was in consequence charge , porter than they would otherwise I could, however, assert, that if :he the twelfth part of a halfpenny on they sold, it would pay them beyo; vine expectations for all the me in the way he had mentioned. It that if this practice were discom could not have their porter at a t then it would be said they might would leave the House to conceive it. could be made for the twelfth p: or the one hundred and forty-ft price of a pot of porter. From thought it-would be seen, that f the practice of lending money to lic could not have their porter e: ter, and that by keeping up 0:e rable number of individuals in iui were materially benefited, whi.e t sustained no injury. Now on the would again refer to the Report o mince. The Chairman of that C vestigated the subject with much (Mr. Barclay) had given him all th power. What was the result as t. crease of price alleged to have ta, thirty or forty years back, por:er three-pence half penny Fer pot. had made such an addition to the as raised it to four-pence, and the i taken place on the raw materials made, was to great, that the He , was not the shadow of a found4ti preferred against them in this res ceeded to 'hew by a comparntiv, prices of malt and hops at differe he asserted to have been incorrect Beaumont. That Gentleman bad risen a halfpenny, when the pri4 had been reduced, and it had d, had risen. This had occurred at to, but it was the lasing on an 4 War Malt Duty that had causei price :which had b:.'en notice-1. grounds on which Mr. Beaumi vote of censure arainst the Brewe moat had accused them of raisin, when their stock in hand could ed by the atdvAnce wbkh had prices of malt and hops.
