EXCISE DUTIES BILL.

The house then went into committee on this bill.
On clange .5,
Mr. I. BUTT moved an amendment to obviate the injury
which it was( apprehended the bill would do to the Irish
maltsters. Ile thought that the bill ought to be postponed;
or, if not, that the committee ought to adopt the amend-
ment, which was to insert after the word "revenue," in
the 16th line of the fifth clause, the words "for the follow.
ing purposes— that is to say, in the case of the distiller."
Mr. F. 'FRENCH supported the amendment.
Mr. O'BRIEN was astonished to find such new-blown
vigour on the part of the two hon. gentlemen who had
just spoken against a bill which was so anxiously looked
for in Ireland. _ _

Rs thought the bill, as far as it was concerned,
was a bill which the distillers ought to thank the right
hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer for. But
he did not see that it was necessary, in order to benefit the
distiller, to sacrifice the maltster. He thought that an
arrangement might be made by which a great boon would
be conferred en the distiller without giving the maltster
reasonable cause of complaint.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, in
order to put the distiller from grain and the distiller from
malt on an equality, it was necessary to have a drawback,
and the arrangement sought to be established by the bill
was a fair one to all parties. He should oppose the i!mend-
ment ;'and if it was carried, he should feel it to be his duty
to abandon the bill. (Hear.)
After some discussion, the committee divided—
For the amendment 29
Against it - 6O
Majority against the amendment —3l
On the motion of Mr. M'MAHON,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER agreed to
allow beetroot sugar, on payment of the duty, to be used
in distillation.

➢lr. BROTHERTON moved that the house do now ad-
journ.

The motion was withdrawn.

After several orders of the daylwere disposed of, a motion
was made in reference to the Education (Scotland) Bill,
and the houie was countell out at half-past 2 o'clock.
