shewn a sincere mention of relieving the diftr ffes'of tins

of our prefect worthy C isl Governor, whole adajimflra

by Lord Norm in the Er.tith House of Commons on

kingdom will obtain advantages <fthe hifheft value, and
I do not know that our commerce or manufactures., will
then labour undir aiygrievance. But in this I may be
nridtk^n, and the merchants and traders of Cork are the
most competent judges. 1 have not given any opinion on
this fuoiea 11] any other place, because it is my resolution
to be governed by thatef my couftituenffy who will judge
for themselves, whether, if the proposed lawsfhali oafs,
effectual redress will be obtained for the necefiities of this
