ILLEGAL EXACTION.
Sir Jowl NEWPORT rose to woke a motion for
a document of which he -had given no previous
notiee, but against which be did not conceive there
would be any objection. It was for a copy of the
Memorial presented by Messrs. Thomas Simmons
stud SOW., merchants. ol*Liverpool, to the Commis-
sioners of theCustows of England, relative to an im-
proper and very unjustifiable exaction of duties
upon certain woollen stud's, belonging to Messrs.
l'ilahony and Co. of Cork, sent to Liverpool for the
purpose of being exported to the Brazils, together
with the Answer returned to said Memorial. The
Right Hon. Baronet stated that this war an express
infraction upon the 6th Article of the Union, which
provided that articles of the manufacture or pro-
duce either of Grout Britain or Ireland shall be

exported tire» any port of the United Kingdom,
merely upon paying certain specific dirties upon
their tint shipment. In this cue, however, it ap-
peared, that an additional duty of two-pence half-
penny per !lull was claimed upon the second ship-
ment of these goods at Liverpool, amounting in all
to .esti, althosigh the goods were not .toetlt above
I'loo Irish currency. Tins duty having been
refused to be paid, the goods were thereby pre-
vented from heinzsent to their destination.
Mr. FOSTER said, that this was the first time he
had heard of this circumstance. There *ere, in-
deed, particular articles in the Act as to wool-
len cloths from Ireland being landej in England.
of which,'perhaps, the Custom-house Officer might
not be aware ; but he believed there had sot beet
any wilful misconduct.
i4ir Jens N LWPORT expressed his surprise to
bear the Bight Hon. Gentleman say this was the
brat time he had heard of this trametction, as hi
knew that the Chancellor of the Excbeqoer for
Ireland had actually been written to.
The Cosset:l.l.oa of the EXcUEQUES hoped the
Right Hon. Baronet was not inclined, from this
fact, Id suppose, that there was any disoosition upon
his pert to break the Articles of Union. It was
very probable that persons in inferior situations
ini:z.st not rightly understand the Articles of U nion,
and therefore might be very easily misled ; but it
was impinisible to suppose there was any Kish to
take advantage of the merchants. At all events, lie
thought that the house of Commons was not flat
Proper place to bring such a matter forward.
Sir Jens NetveonT added, that he was con-
vinced uuless such matters wero publicly noticed,
no satisfaction was given to the injured individual,
nor may effectual means .taken to prevent the re-
currence of a like evil ; as most of the Custom-
house ()Meer; were inclined to look upon Ireland
as a foreign country.
The. Motion was then agreed to.
