PA it LI A M ENTA R Y PAPERS. PAPERS RELATING to the S.N.Uf DUTIES, &e: tCoiitiau'ed. from Tuesday's Sum) (N0.29.-licr. Bernard.) Extracts from Second Aeport of a Committee of the House of Comnirms, respecting,the Laws relating to Salt Duties.—Anno 1801. ChfsEßVATioss by William Jackson, Esq. Commissioner of Excise. " 'NOTICES 'JO OFFICERS: " ari a!pv , hte necessity for their attendance at the storing In and weighing out. of Salt ; weighing the Salt in their pre sence, whenever trans-shit,ped, and a..;;eitt on landing, at the port or place of its destination ; keeping and swearing.to th e daily deliveries; and obtaining permits awl other official 10- cunienrs, must unavoidably occasion trouble and driay. It may not, howreer, he improper to (A:sett - L., that if the duty Here repealed, the trade could. not perhaps be cm ital on, and the proprietor or merchant. secured again 4 plunder. mitliont weighing the Salt as frequently, and with nearly as ti:uch rare, as is done at present. But the chief Objection to the l a ws iiy.which the Salt Duty is guarded and collected, ore the-forfeitures and penalties to which the merehants,ma nuf cturers, a,:d agents are liable, more especially in regard of boneN•and permits. Salt removed, though but a shed dis tance, will unquestionably vary in weight. Stove-dried Salt, e xposed to the air, will increase in weight to a certain extent, and that increase will be noire or less rapid in proportion as 'the air is more or less daily. Salt not dried will in general decrease in weight, being exposed to a damp air, which dissolve:* the particles, and necessarily occasions a waste of the commodity. " Tints, on Nyeighing Salt removed . by permit, or delivered upon bond, the quantity will, perhaps, in every instance, be found to have increased or decreased according to tine state of the salt, the time it may have remained exposed, and the tiampness of the air. " Salt intended for curing and preserving fish is removed tits ler the security of bonds, and accompanied by permits, the effects of which, as interrupting or obstructing the trade, have been already described. " Fish-curers, before they can receive - Salt duty-free, must make entry with the- Excise, and ( - except where the Lords of the Treasury shall interpose by their warrant) must provide cellars or warehouses fur storing the salt. Thy must give blind to aceouutonnuaily with the Excise for ail Salt receiv ed, and not to misapp!y any part of it. They must also verify their annual accounts on oath, anti produce to the Excise officer all fish for which they Mean to take credit; and they ;rre required, in sonic eases, to mark the fish in the presence of111L• ottieers, and in ()thins to brand the casks in winch they arc. packed. •• These regulations are esseutiat to Ihe safety of , the re venue; but they are, at the same time, troublesome and ex peniVe to the fish-curer. -" The quantity of Salt allowed fur the curing of fish is, in some CdSCS too small ; that incOnVeni e nce, howererouight be rt medit:a by an alteration of the law. -• •• Whether the Salt Laws have.obstructed the Fisheries, of prevented persons front engaging in them it is, PCrhaps, ditbcult to ascertain : it is, however. very evident, that while a high duty is to be collected , on Salt, •the laws which relate to tire use of that article, duty free, eantiot be materially al tered or s4fely,relaxed. `•At the same time it must he admitted, 'that those laws neither are nor can possibly be rendered entirely effectual to the ,pr F vention of fraud... . '° lii part of the kingdom it has been found extremely da,;;;lt to -apply the laws to the moth! of using Salt in the cure of fish. • " For preserving pilchards the Salt is repeatedly applied, until it is become su foul, and blended with cxtraneous mat ter, as to he fit only for aniline, and after it has been once and is mixed with fish scales, aid other substances, it is hopossible to distinguish the Salt, to ascertain the quan tity,. or to .forui any check upon the application or expendi ture. In the 1. - tst%Session of Parliament an Act was passed for allowing-Salt duty-fl,•ese. until Octu:;cr next, for the cure of fish for howe consuithtion, .either in buns or in barrels; and it is asserted th;:t cz,nSiderable quantities of fish have, in con sequence thereof, beeu - preserved innr brought to niarliet in a pw i l state, which would.utherwise have been destroyed. Tais Act has not been so extensively beneficial as it perhaps might be rendered by an alteration proposed; but by that alteration the revenue would be more exposed to frind. "The regulations of this Act have not, it is believed, been complained of ; but 11)4 are by no - means ealculated to se cure the revenue effectually." • " Mr. Hugh M'Cotquodale, ofLiverpool. " IV.—Upusp what account have you declined shipping Salt for the British Fisheries?—On account of the very heavy' hotels which we (as agents) are, by the exi,ting law, obliged to enter into, and the difficulty, and frequently the impos sibilit, of olbtaining certificates to enable us to cancel the bonds. The agents at Liverpool ship entirely on comnnssion of one shilling per ton, which is net by any means adequate' tol be risk they run, as tire bond they are compelled to give as shippers, is in a penalty of 601. per ton shipped. Many of the fish-curers hate, upon _this account, been deprived of a sufficient quantity, and some altogether disappointed. Were the fish-curers - bonds to be taken from the time•itf shipping, for such quantities as they way think proper to order, accord ing to the prospect-of fishing, the agents at Liverpool would supply them as they might require; nut tf ibis or some other mode is not adopted for the seutuity of the agents, I appre hend the fish-curers must suffer for the Want of sufficient or regular supplies of Salt. " V.—Hare you any bonds uncancelled, and to what amount ?—There are many of our, bends Lineal - welled, the Humber I do not exactly recollect; but,the amount is very considt table." 6 ' Mr. John Holmes, of Liverpool. "iv.—Do the fish-curers find a difficulty in procuring an ample supply of Salt ?—Yes, fioni the agents-having refused to ship Salt, from the difficulty. of getting the bonds cancelled, which has been the cause of Some curers hawing been disappoint... ed in receiving the necessary supplies. And the agents who have shipped Salt lately for the Fisheries, have, in some instances, been guaranteed by the fish-curer, from the penalties which the agent might be liable to from' any waste on the voyage.:-- Others again have shipped Salt lately, niuler an idea that . When Goternment were thoroughly acquainted with the -dith cultymidcr which the trade, laboured, relief would be given, and the bonds cancelled. An allowance for waste and defi ciency on the royagi't,.ought in justice to be inade and this swill appear the more reas - glable, when it is considered that the Salt shipped for the kitheries is frequently new from the pans, and that no stowed or nigh-tkied ;.tit is ever shipped fur the Fisheries. " V.—Do - you riot conceive a much greater quantity of fish would be prOcured, were the difficulties in procuring Salt re moved ?',—Yea. lam of opinion the quantity of fish would he much increased, were the restrictions taken away, and the difficulties removed. But, in my buns')le opinion, this can .--not he dune, as to laying the trade entirely open, till the du ties are wholly taken off. A clause was-traroduced in the. Act pf 33 of Geo. 111. cap. 89. sec. 93, which wls intended to en -able Ashernicii and other inhabitants on the coasts to have Salt duty-free for Curing fish, But this indulgence has been •.-*of no service,-as the poor fisherman cannot avail himself of it: and the fishermen have frequently stopped catching fish for want of persons to purchase the fish from them in a fresh • • topme,Committee some of the difficulties that fish-curers Libman under ?—Without entering minutely into ,the difficulties, which wohld trespass 011 the time of the Hon. " - !Counffittee, and• Should more pViiperly be hrought before the ~; m m.Fislzety Committee, 1 shall premise that no system can he that will prove of such general advantage as a free ' Use of Salt, without any restriction as to the quantity, which ought to be left at the fish-curer's discretion, as much de -- .peiids upon the market he intends his fish for. It would also ;Lenahle him to use inhce , dispatch, which is a most e ssen ti a l ' point in the fishing trade; and although it may appear ex traordinary to persons not practically acquainted with the trade, yet the complying with certain regulations, of which . there can he no cause to complain, is the most serious grim.- ltucCm .....tVcurer is under a great hardship in tint having a suf . fitient fillowariee for Taste on the voyage in getting his Salt from Liverpool; as it is a certain fact, there will always he a decrease, from the nature of the article, and this will depend tipoh the quality - CNN - Set shippe.d. And when the whole ur any ,part is lost distress at sea, at present the law di , xucts, that the master and mate of time vessel carrying the Salt shall, within a liinited tinie,'appear, and bring proof, at 'time Gerieral Quarter Sessions of the County, or. before time . 2'Cotruniisioners in London; and it frequently happens, the •- Quarter Sessions are nctleld within the limited thne. On the prvseilt lair, there is - no allowance - fur Salt used in curing • r herrin g s in bulk. Lords off the Treasury gave liberty tlatmt, season, Ader,certein. regniatious; hut thsy restricted the curer as to the - quantity of halt for which he was to take credit in his Salt Account, hyt-Whith' som4i.frf the cargoes which were shipped for tit?. purpose of supplying the poor, were lauded in bad order." [To be continued.] LAW INTECLia&t:E. COURT OF CHANCERY, AucysT 27. WOOD V. GRIFEITIIS. HART mentioned, that as no prodas was issued, or going on in any way against the de frnclant, it • might he better that his Lordship should be allowed more time to consider what judgment he wonl,l give in the case, on condition of the plaintiff binding himself not to take a single step against the defendant. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—I nut glad that yon have no wish to press me for jodgment, thoogit am sure I mild he very glad if i could do so, lc is proper th L at every kind of attention .should he giver to the cw.e, as it itivolVeS several - important points, to which I have given the 1.110:5t set ions at tention, anti wish to do more in it. Let it he then understood as my wish, and in truth my or der, that no - process whatever shall be issued against the defendant till my-judgment be giVen, and I believe I shall not do so till next term.. It certainly would he very improper in the meantime to take any measures against the defeddant, and this must not be done. EGG V. THE WATERLOO BRIDGE COMPANY. This case is well known to the, Public, and . the Lord Chancellor having formerly ordered the ease to go ou the question of damages to a Court of Law, the question to-day was, whether the plain. tiff had a right to claim damages from the de fendants for all the acts 43f trespass ,they had com mitted ? If so, he was hound to prove every single trespass. • - . . The LORD CHANCELLOR thought the justice of the case was, the plaintiff had possession at th e time the acts of trespass which he complained of were committed, and therefore he was entitled to go to a Cunt of Law for the whole. WADE V. SCRUToN. This was the case of Mrs. Ba , ely, and his Lord ship was requested by Mr. Loveit to order. the Report of the Settlement wade by the Master in this case to be confirmed. '!'ire LORD ettaNcaeeoa.--I am glad the settle ment has been made, and you may therefore take the order which you wish. OPERA-HOUSE. This case was once more postponed, on account bf I±lr. Hart having gone away. It was fixed for to.-morrow. JUDGE FLETCHER. The following passages in this learned Judge's charge at the Derry Assizes are well entitled to attention : " He lamented the extent of the Ctiminal Ca lendar, tv Inch appeared to him to be nnitsally great for trre county of Derry. He hail iust come from discharging a most painful duty at Omagh, where no fewer than twenty-six capital convic tions had Jake') place. He' was 'happy to fitid,• however, that his progress he hail not disco vered any thing tending hi conspiracy against the , laws or Governm en t. Th e pressure the'iimes Lid led, in some instances, to the commission of crimes: but generally had given a prete:ia to the •abandoned for the perpetration of all manner Of wickedness. Ile noticed an Act lately passed in the Imperial ParliaMent; for as3hultting he prac tice of Irish Grand. Juries, in . the finding ot: bills of indictment,- to the custom- uniforodv practised in 14,:ngland, ,of which he highly approved, as tending greatly 'to check the conduct of Magis trates,' who, either front ignorance, prejudice ; or malignity, were too much in the habit of grant ing committals wantonly and unnecessarily. He also approved of another Bill, which emanated from the one in question, which tended to the en forcing the penalty on forfeited recoguizances. He adverted to the late Act for - altering the laws with respect to road-making. All must admit, that some change was necessary ; but whether the one proposed was the most efficacious, time alone could shoiv. He had some doubts, however, whe ther a general law could be acted upon, with be neficial effects, in all the counties of Ireland. " The proposed Inspector of Roads, if indeed it would be found practicable for him to peram bulate the whole county, would. require to be a man possessed of rare judgment and incorruptible integrity ; otherwise abuses were more likely to inereaSe . than be remedied. . " He'lamented the great inclination to swear ing which prevailed in this country, for which he attributed a variety of causes. He conceived they originated chiefly in the propensity of the lower classes to form secret and illegal combinations, which bad existed as long as he remembered. — The parties were generally bound together by an oath, - which frequently engaged them to the com mission of all matmer of atrocities. Such were the Hearts of Oak and Hearts of Steel, White Boys, .Peep,o7,day Boys, Carders, Threshers, &c. &c., and latterly they have Come to the colours of Orange and green. " He censured the present mode of administer ing oaths in Courts of Justice, as wanting in pro per solemnity ; and suggested the• propriety of having the various kinds of clergymen in attend ance on such occasions, whose presence he con sidered would be a check on their respective hearers. " Prosecutions for perjury were not pursued as they ought, nor were the pu►►ishments such as to correct the evil. He was . afraid that the Sun day Schools and Bible SoCiWties were not calcu lated to repress the general depravity—it was be ginning at the wrong end. It woi►ld be necessary to begin with the parents first, in older to coun teract the general depravity. .1-ie entered into a Variety of other topics, and concluded by instruct ing the Grand Jury how to act upon the late law for examining witnesses before finding bills of in dict►nent."--(lrish Paper) Commitments for crimes, upon an average of 9 years, in proportion to population, have been estimated as follows Manchester, I in 140; in London, 1 in 800 ; in Ireland, I in 1,600 ; and in Scotland, 1 in '20,000 ! Taking this upon a wile . Much_ less favourable to Scotland, what an irresistible argument. doeS afford for.the re ligions, moral, and mental culture of the'buntan race ! I;XECUTiaN of W. OR (:. A' 3 G. SIGGINS On Thursday last William Morgan, aged '2B, and George Stg ins, aged 23, were executed at Penenden-heath, pursuant to the sentence passed on them at the late Kent Assiies.—The crime for winch Morgan suffered was that of rilbhery attend ed with cruelty. On the 9th of June, he attacked a poor old woman named is:Vishett, in her cottage, at Erith, and not only took away froin her some money, but also beat her in a most cruel 'manner. He eca's convicted on circumstantial evidence ;. and though, the property taken was but trilling, the Judge considered hini a fit object for the extreme eunishment of the law, as personal violence, joined to r .hhery, is an off.lace whiCh, most wisely, is rarely if ever pardoned. George Siegins was con victed of an abominable Offence. From the time of their efinviciion both the prisoners condected themselves With great propriety. The Rev. Mr. Argles, chaplain of the Gaul, was unwearied in his endeavours to prepare them for the solemn change they were about to 'Undergo. Morgan evinced great contrition, and was frequently moved to tears by the exhortations of his pions instructor. He luny acknowledged his guilt, and made a' con fession of a series of crimes which cloning i'he` last nine years he had committed. He expressed a wish that his confession might he made public, it being all theatollelnent then in his power to make to the world for his past guilt. With respect to Siggins, though he behaved with great decorum, and was grateful for the kindness of the reverend Chaplain, it is to feared he was not fully a wArned to a sense of his guilt. We understand that he denied having committed the crime for which he was doomed to die, and in that, denial persisted to the last. On Thursday, about eleven o'clock, the prisoners left the c o unt y gaol, and being seated in a waggon, were taken to the place of exe cution on Penenden-heath, accompanied by the usual ofFicet sand guard. When the waggon drew up under the scaffold; Morgan took off his straw hat with his right hand, and with a very quick motion threw it with considerable force behind him among the crowd. The Chaplain having ascended the i.vgeron, he joined in prayer with the unfortunate men for several minutes. The last solemn duty being performed, the Rev. Gentleman shook hands with them, and having left them they were resign ed into the hands of the executioner. Morgan first mounted the platform. Before leaving the' ‘vaggon, he exclaimed to the spectators " God bless you all, my lads." While the rope was ad justing round his neck, he several tittles requested the executioner would not shorten - it too much. Siggins being placed under the fatal beam, he being a very short man, -the executioner found it — neces#ary to place him on some steps : be tore the rope was finilly adjnsted on the neck of Siggins, Morgan said to the executioner, Leave plenty of slack, mate, you need not rtbe .afraid of our running away," The dreadful fpreparation being completed, Siggins said with a i ifirui voice, .." With the 'assistance of Al Mighty -.Good we will sing a hymn; if he will give ns strength so to do." He then opened a paper, its . whiclm was written a hymn, a n d 'h e an d evlore , n joined their voices in singing it. The hymn being ,conelutted, Morgan said to the .spectators ; " hope this will be a warning to you all, God bless :yon all;" the caps were then pulled over their `titres, and they prayed very fervently till the with drawing of the fatal l bolt_deprived them of eiisf: :ence.._ Morgan appeared ,to suffer little, hitt Sig gins was very much convulsed for several minutes. 'After hanging the usual time, the bodies were con veyed- t'o'the Maidstone church-yard, where they were interred. And here we cannot help noticing a circumstance which has been much and deS'er-v -aly reprobated. The clothes of persons 'eXecilt ed being considered the perquisite of the execu tioner, the coffins of these unfortunate men were, previous to interment, opened in the church-yard, and the bodies publicly stripped. DUBLIN, AUG. 23.'—Further Paiticiaars ff the Descent of the Aeronauts.—ln about eleven :ninnies after the ascent, Miss Ton►pson and Mr. Living stondescended in perfect safety, in a shrubbery, which was divided by a quick-set hedge from the Park of Marlay, the seat of Mr. Latouche, about five miles from Dublin. A person having imme diately come up, Mr. Livingston threw him a' cord, requesting him to hold it fast, and then throwing ont a little hallast, 'ascended about 20 feet, when the man drew the balloon by the rope Over the trees into the field. The balloon had never been out of sight front the time of its ascent ulna! it reached Marlay. It had gone to the height of something.better than two miles. An immense concourse assembled at Marlay, having f o ll o wed the direction of the balloon. Miss Tompson was Conducted to the hospitable house, of Mr. La touche, and Mr. Livingston remained with the balloon, to get it secured ; every possible assist ance being afforded him, it was soon accom plished and packed up in the car. The populace then placed Mr. Livingston on the top of the car, and carried hint with shouts and huzzas round rhe r oa ftls, for a distance of nearly two miles, and at length brought Mini to Mr. * Latouche's, where Miss Tompson and he dined. In the evening they took leave . of Mr. Lmonche's family, and arrived in town about ten o'clock. HIGHWAY . RoßßEßY.—Monday evening about 7 o'clock, as an elderly Gentletnan, named Simp son, was crossing the .Five fields, on his way to Chelsea, he was accosted by two stout looking men, who craved charity. 11.1 r.
