Meier S. KNOX inquinidoitheChancellor of the Exche-
quer whether, anew the proposed change, f..reign wines and
spirts would be allowed is be bonded in inland towns, and
U si whether the duties would then be collected by the excise?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.-1 wee
afraid from the terms of the question that the hon. and gal.
last gistlernan sappeed it to be in the contemplation of the
government to retsblieh a system of bonding in every island
town. If he and others are under that impression the
sooner their in ion is dispelled the better. Where-
MIT Wand is allowed foreign wines and spirits will
be allowed to be bonded ; but there is no intention on the
part of the government to render Wend bonding universal,
nor d:d they intend so have any part of the duty oodected by
the excise.
