ADULTERATION OF COFFEE WITH CHICORY.
Lord TORRINGTON rose to present a peti-
tion, complaining of the operation of the Treasury
minute of August, 1840, with respect to the sale of
coffee mixed with chicory. The Noble Lord said the
subject was looked upon with great interest by the
coffee merchants, and be hoped that ~the answer which
would be given to-night would in a great measure allay
their anxiety. All that the petitioners desired was that
instead of the Treasury minute of 1840, now complained
of, the regulation of the trade might be, with somo slight
alteration, that of 1832, when chicory was permitted to
be sold separately by grocers as chicory, but notices were
issued at the same time that the legal penalties would
be rigidly enforced if discovered mixed with coffee. In
1840 it appeared that in consequence of memorials from
the grocers and dealers in chicory, and also from the
circumstance of exceeding high rates then ruling for
coffee, together with the disruption of our commercial
relations with China advancing the price of tea,
an order was issued from the Treasury to the
Excise Board, authorising the admixture of chicory with
coffee, a duty being maintained on the former of 201. per
ton on the kiln-dried, and 6d. per lb. on the powdered
root, when imported from abroad. The petitioners did
not seek to destroy the consumption of chicory, or to
impose any additional duty on it,, their chief object was
to get rid of the demoralising effects of the present
system, by which the Imperial Government sanctioned
the selling of a spurious article for the true one, making
honesty in the retailer almost impossible. The peti-
tioners feared that the industrious classes, now the chief
consumers of coffee in England, would cease,to use it,
finding that it; underwent daily deterioration, and thus
wt
he would be
be lost the best part of the English market and to
English mechanic and labourer a pleasant, wholesome,
and invigorating beverage. If this were the case it was to
be feared that the consumption of ardent spirits would be
increased. The Noble Earl concluded his speech by
