quart, and he thought it fair that competition should be allowed in

The CHA NCELIA HI of the EXCHEQUER obiterved, that as
the subject of the Beer lhll had been incidentally brought forward,
he would state •n the House the course he meant to take on the
subject ; and althn ;;;t lie was perfectly satistied of the snootiness
of the princit le of the new arrangement of the duties, yet, as an
many pre tai ice, existed against it, and es the objections were not
likely to heaven% me by discussion, he should exclude it altogether
from the Ihll ; but he should still itemise in preserving all that part
of the Bill that related to the retail trade. (liver, hear.)
