Mr. Fowunt : I am asked a very fair question, anti a

been asked before. The Malt Tax brings in wooo.ono of
t saucy to the revenue, and it is mixed up with another
£10,000,000 brought in from spirits and other matters ; but
if you rectum that ta • glass of pale ale, for which you pay

country in any way sa easily as by the Malt Tax I ant
• farmer and • inaltster, and when a young man I was in
one of the largest breweries in this land, and I know the
beginning and the ending of it. I tell you candidly the
tax is collected in such small sums froin the consumer and
it brings into the revenue such a sum as can be scarcely
ant together (coin the people as easily in any other way.
There is another question attached to that tax -rather an
Invidious tax-this tax put upon bre aers ; they have to
pay something like a shilling a quarter. I think the
letewers may fairly say " Relieve Its of that nuilling •
quarter, beewase it is an invidious tag, and if you must
have the money let us pay in the Malt Tax-let it all be
one tax." As for repealing the Malt Tax, it is no use to
the farmer, no use to the people, anti it brings in a large
sane to the revenue._ . .

Malt Tax?

disputed case. This was a claim for .C. 5 made by Robert

not represented by a legal gentleman; and Mr. Howard,
in order to save His Honour's time, gave • brief history of
the plaintiff's case, and the defence that was made to
It. The defendant let the plaintiff the feed of a field

SEPTERBER SHIRP FAIR.

This great fair WWI held on Tuesday, and harvest
operations having been completed, there was a large
attendance of both farmers and dealers, many of them
coming from distant counties. The supply of sheep
WWI considerably above the average—some persons said
the total was at least 140,000—but notwithstanding that
the pastures have been freshened by recent rains, trade
was dull throughout, and many lots remained unsold.
Trade was certainly not so good as at Britford—business
for two-teeth ewes being, perhapa, the worst. Welber'
were in most demand, but generally speaking, prices were
considerably lower than at late faire. The prices for
lambs ranged tram 36e. to 501.; for ewes from 40s. to so..
Wethers made as much u Ms.

The horse fair was largely supplied, and good cart

made from 430.1 to 4.75, but trade WAS not brisk. Trade
