THE MALT DUTIES.

A meeting of =Eaters was held yesterday at the
Oars Exchange Hotel, Karkdane, for the purpose
of adepling raserree to obtain an alteration in
the present system of null the malt duty. There was
a very lame attendres. Mr. A. GRIMM, the Mayor of
Br Owl, was embed to the chair, and said that 11.1 •
msbeter he was desirous that more steps should be taken
to &tar ralimatkm la the primmt unjust system of col-
bethw
e the inalt duty. Ora MU, 18 weeks' credit bad
hem ven by the government, but the present Chancellor
of the Exchequer hit Oat wired the credit to 12 weeks,
and then to six weeks. This was a great hardship on the
maltater, r he bad thus to pay the duty for the whole
year with only nix weeks' smog, while it was seven or
eight mouths belome the article came into oonsumption.
No other article paid duty until it went into
ootwomptios. Distillers were allowed to make malt in
bond, and were not called upon to pay duty until it wan
made into spirit. This again was a great disadvantage to
the mallstera, who within about eight weeks of the ekes of
the nerting mann had to pay the whole of the duty on the
malt they had made. Government had thus three-fourths
of the dry in its hands before the malt came into oonsump-
try which he considered a great injustice. (Bear.)
Mr. GRAY moved the following resolution :—' That in
the opinion of this meeting the present mode of collect-
ing the mall duty is unjust and injurious to the trade,
and that a deputation be appointed to wait upon the
Chancellor of the Exchequer for the purpose of obtaining
an extension of the credit in the payment of the malt
daty."
Mr. H. TAYLOR seconded the resolution, which was
unaninermaly agreed to.
It was further resolved that a deputation sherd wait
upon the Chancellar of the Exchequer on the subject. and
to request each matters to use his influence with the
member of parlismeat for his district to obtain his support
to an armlike of the malt duty credit.
