(Continued front our Paper of yesterday.)
Examination of Mr. Penick Boyle., paper.staioer,
cc...clotted.
Is there not a tea per cent. defy on paper hangings im-
paled to Seemed ?—Yea.
It bas been staled, that there has been a great Inconvenience
from the d,ference of duty imposed upon the Iriah niaosfac.
Curer?—Yea; Mr. Rosa. II is mere aware of that than I am.
Paper Imaging, in &glair are subject to so much ditty en the
raw paper; raw paper hat Irelaod is therefore
subjected to that ; when Cite s lien of paper here,
rqw paper and colour, and moist it to Parlayed, they haw*
latterly toper/ a deity, ad titaness, and no the weight when
fabricated, but nut merely on the weight of the raw material;
they therefore impose a duty on the colour, on the common
whiting of which the colour is compared. that is not worth a
farthing a pound. they make as pay ihreepeuee a pound.
Mr. Boswell complains, I make a piece of paper—pap. r and
colour, the English manufacturer importing here, pays ad
rafuren on the•alue of the manufactured piece ef paper; be
pays so mocha yard, to meet the principle's( the Irish Excise,
and we draw back the Eaglish Excise; we remit to our cor-
respondents io Lintikin a debenture for SO 11111,01 Irvine beets
paid in England, and shell beiag paid here, and the exporter
in London is reinstated; the paper stread its Ireland. un
impodatton jut,. England, is anhjert to the fine tlinst;. but,
in addition to that, they absolutely take the weightAtf the
bulk, and charge three-pence a poised aes all the ronstilsont
parts, part of which are leads and minerals', extremely heavy,
instead of imposing the duty on the ream of paper:
If the mode of collecting the Excise duty on paper con-
tinued as it is, and if the ten per cent.dusy *spun paper carried
either from England into Iceland, or from Ireland into Eng-
land, was removed, and if the paper could lie imported from
Ireland into England without any drawback of Irish duly or
asy Custom duly, payable in England, would it not he ex-
tremely essy to carry Into Euglaud papers manufactured in
Ireland, which world appear to have paid duty in Ireland,
baying a stamp fraudulently put upon them, and that the
revenue would be defrauded by their having is reality paid
no duty at all ?—To an amazing extent.
Assunitug that it would be desirable to put the trade os
that footing, csnout you suggest any mode by which Mot
could be remedied ?—None ; in the trade between Ireland
and England, many of thwe peers' are, I am emery so say,
so much exposed, they would do every thing in their power.
Supposing it was possible to levy the duty with the same
efficiency i• Ireland as in England, would not that preempt it
think it would, and I will state the reason; there are
more paper manufacturers us masters in Ireland than there
are in England: but nut bait the mem ; there are to London
five or six respectable manufacturers, and they manufacture
fur the greater pert of England; there are is Dubious fine's
or sixteen masters, mussinally maoufartarers, sad I do sot
think there are sixteen snasterearoufacturers in all England.
Du you think that frauds would be committed by carrying
the goods through the Irish Criomhbosse, tadeetering them
fur export into England, apparently with the Excise duly
marked upon them, or that they would be smuggled (diodes-
hotly ?—That they would pre the Custom-here with the
apparent ditty open theta, I could sot presume to say, be-
cause there would be a chock there in the event of my ex-
porting more paper than I appear to pay duty upon, that ch-
partutrat would be looked to, aad very strict inquiry made
nit. my concern; but there would he a possibility of wain
a vast quantity of paper us board of trading ships sod col.
Isere, and those sort of vessels that would take over what
they call ventures; they could take it in without any regard.
to the Custom-house.

Supposing it was made necessary, in order to lewd it no the
other side, that there should be a certificate from the Cus-
tomhouse here, something in the nature of a permit, that
should certify that the Eacise duty bad bees paid, would
that provide a sufficient protection!—T►ere are mar), gen-
tlemen who buy paper hangings of me to bring to England;
they say we live in sorb a part of England. aid we do *et
see such handsome papers as you make brie ; doubt whe.
they they ever enter it; the ee to not iojuesd•by that,
fur I have paid the duty; the only thing is, that it dues rot
pay the ad yet/orris duty, when it is entered on the othe►
side. I tun not aware how it would be possible to pervert a
person who really tosoufactures illicit paper Imagist, (tom
vending it through the various ways is which it can be done.
Does it seem to you quite impracticable, snider the pre-
sent system of Excise, if due vigilance weir exercised on the
part of the officers, to prevent that specits of matinfacinfe!
—I sin perfectly persuaded it is in the pus* of the officers
to prevent it.

is it a mseofsetnre that can be carried on clandestinely?
—lt is a manufacture that to • common observer it would
appear could nut be carried on clandestinely; I du slot know
how I could smuggle paper-hangings; whim I suggestid the
table duty it became nee, y its give an established length
to Government or to the Customs for this table; it is obliged
to be of • certain length and breadth; the man who works
at that table must have what is called • cieve near him fur
his colour, as large as that table; be requires a space of
nine feet, and three feet more; that one paper printer re.
quires an area of nearly thirty fret by ten, or twenty-four by
fifteen, or something of that kind. Every man i• my 4111111/.
factory bas forty feet before him; he pulls uut a piece of
paper thirty six feet lone; it must be thirty-six feet lung,
and in many instances before he con raise it tiff the gronud.
I am persuaded there is • vast deal of cqpidity and corrup-
tion on the part of the person. employrd.

Every nsanufactory ie entered?—Every manuflctury is
licensed, nut only to manufacture bet to sell.

De yam ;bulk that there are any manufactories that escape
notice?-1 am given Ii 'endemism! that there are; I was
coaversing with a very active Excise officer who attends my
warehouse; he told me, he was about seizing a manufactory
that was malty unknown as to ita existence.
Has your business given you an opportunity of knowing
the trade in paper that is not maim d, so as to koow what

that cannot say; 1 think it might arm the piper mmtil-
fseturer of this country; I Moak he ought to have It in his
power to carry it into Eugland, if he wan industrious.
Who is the principal paper manufacturer an Ireland ?
A Mr. Christopher Ml'Donnell, on the Quay.
Where is his manufactory?—ln the vicinity of Dublin.
The principal interference with your trade is by the taufair
competition of the manufacturer who does not pay duty ?
I am satisfied, acacia person in Dublin was to pay ►is Arty
as a fair trader ought to do. 1 would pay into Government
one half as much more all I do of duty at present, if 1 Am
met only by that kid of competition that wutaltrmat be in
the power of any person to undersell me, if there was a fair
competition.
II awe you any fear of English competition?—lndeed
fear it a Iti Ile from the character of the English manufacture ;
at present there is a person selling English paper hangings
iti Ireland, but he is selling them at an under value; I. have
not imported a pities of 'mimed paper from England for the
last three or four years; those of whom I purchased felt
jealous of my declining doing business with them, from hay-
ing passed iilollll by sad mid gone to France, in order to in.
traduce a better sort of paper.
Are there not paper mills at Waterford and Cork ?—There
are.

Could you state what, in your contemplation, ore 'hum

I do not know how to answer ; curb branch mast employ •

perhaps • long time, the Irish nianufeetarri would have •
vast deal to contend with, for want of capital to rope with
the English nianufsetweer; and, thong's labour is nut cheaper
its &tibiae, I do not thigh the Irish manufacturer would be
able to put his goods down at the same price that the Eng- '
!Oh manufacturer would ; the larger a man's capital in busi-
ness, the less profit he is content with. The Irish maitufat-
toter. who has a smaller capital, looks fur a greater profit;
owe of the great disadvantages in this country is, that they
have in Engleml the home trade and the foreign trade, here
there is usey the home trade, they rarely niaaufacture
speculation to the extent to which they do in England;
quantities of the goods they manufactufe there, are sent to •
fureigu market if the home market fails; I scarcely ever
koew so instance of Ike Irish manufacturer preparing his
maarfacturea to an extent, under a hope of gelling an ex-
port trade ; I rarely knew them to succeed, or their wishes
to be met will.. Every manufacturer in Ireland will ultra-
'
rate, of course, that by keeping his invo market, with as lit-
tle competition from other must/les as be possibly caw, he
' shall be benefited.
You conceive that the principal effects of those duties is
to 'sable the Irish mitaufacturer In make a larger profit no a
smaller 1 do not think that; but that they
would tint he able for a long time to sell their 'wide on the
same profit as the English manufectorers; the object of an

his uo competitor hardly any where; the competitioes of price
is NO COOSiatfaillN for a short time; be breaks down cougar
titioa by making a sacrifice; that was an argument made
wee of to me when very young in life; my brother and I,
having pretty good property, embarked on that principle,
and we were able to stand it.

The public is benefited by that competition?—Certainly.
The ten per cent. duties enable them, by ahutuuß out the
English mansfacturer, I. get • larger profit oo a compara-
tively small capital?—Yea.
Have they any other beurficial effect on the traders of Ire-
laud, bet to enable them to do shut; is not that the effect

must be injurious, unless it is halaseed.
Then the question is, whether the employment t►at it

the greatest blempiwg be could have; I would beg to state,
that my opinion wit► respect to putting an end to the pro-

gree,; a thing dose in that sort of way always tells better.
%V hen you say by degrees, do you mean to cover a period

How many years do you think it would require for the
