tended "as an introduction to a more extensive s'ystein
of the same kind." It was grounded on the idea of allow-
ing the free importation of every raw material necessary
to our manufactures, thereby enabling our manufactu-
rers to undersell those of other countries, and thus leay.;
ing " no occasion to prohibit the importation" of foreign
manufactured commodities.
Yours at present appears to bo widely different; but,
mature reflection and candid discussion may do much.
Hence, I would beg of you to reconsider the principle and
view it in-ail its bearings ; for, if you are of the profession
your signature would imply you to be, it is of a most in-
teresting nature.
To test the subject fairly, it would be only to discuss
it, and endeavour to assertain how much less capital
would do for given manufactures, if duties did not at-
tach to raw materials. Suppose for instance, the porter
brewer could brew lus porter without a duty on malt or,
hops, the silk manufacturer without any on his raw silk,.
the sugar refiner manufacture his sugar, and the mer-
chant import it without a duty, and so on with all our
manufacturers, how much capital it would release ?
Should you think this idea worthy attention, I am
ready and willing either to communicate-privately or dis-.
cuss publicly this interesting question. I avail myself of
this opportunity to say, that my signature was purely
accidental, and, not indicative of my profession. -
Hence, I wait your determination, and-abandoning the
name of Vitruvius, subscribe myself •

reprehensible ; and, from the high dignity of your sta-
tions, no doubt but you will endeavour toi.peaveritsuclf
evil. . . . .
By virtue of the " New Street Act of. Parlialtigit from
Charing-Cross to Marylebone-Park," &c. you appear to
have the highest authority in this measure, inasmuch as,
every act requires your concurrence or. confirmation ; it is,
therefore, upon this ground that 1 take the liberty to ad.
dress you.
By certain clauses in the act, the claimants arc subject
to have notices served upon them to treat at the expira-
tion of six months • but if their proposals are not acceded
to, they may be laid on the shelf for about four years from
this period, or handed down upon fourteen days notice,
and thereby precipitately driven to a jury, even in the ab-
sence from home of a claimant, should he be upon a jour-
ney of business or pleasure, whereby, when he returned
home, at the end of a month, his house might be annihi-
lated : but in order to prevent this suspense, overtures
have been adopted by the Commissioners under the said
Act (in particular cases), to submit the investigation of
claims to arbitrators indifferently chosen. Thus far the
business has, in many instances, gone on fairly—but mark
the indelicacy of agents not duly authorised (the pra-
vity of which is disowned by Mr. Nash), even while the
I negociation was pending, by bonds preparing, for indivi-
duals. to be served with notices to quit, by a Mr. Thomp-
son, in a way of threat ; at the same time makitx•strong.
overtures to the Claimant, to induce him to 04ittion kis,

Agent, and thereby to accede to private terms with.him,
in violation of good faith with the Clerk to the Commis-
Sinners, whom I would hope to do the justice of supposing
that he knew nothing of the transaction alluded to ; if so,
it may necessarily become a question, how Mr. Thompson
becomes possessed of Notices to serve at his will and plea-
sure, signed by two of the Commissioners, in order to serve
his own turn to hasten the sale of the old materials ? It is
therefore presumed that this developement will cause him,
to keep within his own sphere of action.
1 have the honour to be, my Lords,
Your most obedient servant,
