IRELAYD.

Lord A LTIIORP gatell4strc;lia motion on Thursday fur
the production of certain papers relative to a pr4tol(~d amnesty to
Movernment on the part of the Ribbonmen of thawsy and Mayo.
EXCISE LICENCE DUTIES.

Mr. F. which, through some
omission, wan not read by the Clerk, but which we prenumu to be
from the Licensed Victuallen of the town of Reading. praying for
a repeal of the Excise Licence I)uties.
Mr. MONK seen: ded the bringing up of the petition. The tax.
as it as present stood, was a poll-tax, for pennon were not taxed to
peoponion to the quantity communed ; a person who only dis-
posed of thine hands of beer paid the name as one who disponod
hundred. The duty ought, in his opinion, to be established inn
a more equitable principl-. There was a compatiy which sold
strongberr at 4d. a quart, shill.' publnaflt could only retail it at
3d. The',n•t. was, that thin company wan entablinhed by brewer's
who could ti:t'ard to nen it, and which therefore deprived the publi-
can of all competition. He saw no reason to prevent the ptibliCall
from brewing ; on the contrary, he had a stronger claim ; for, be-
sides the duty which he paid, he might have a wholesale an well as
a retail %ale, whilst the brewer ens confined t.) the former. The
!newels Imwe• er contrived VD Callabliall ill icany places, in Reading
awl abort iamdrin, houses for a retail sale, to the grad injury and
is/justice nf the publicans. And this practice prevailed with the
knowledge and connivance of the Miszi•anites. After a few remarks
sato the propriety of putting the publican on a fair footing an his
busint sn, and the expediency of a general reduction in the taxation
of the enuntry, he seconded the bringing up of the petition.
(Inhered to lie on the table.
