Ata ME E Ti NG of the'MALTSTE RS, and Makers of Malt,.
• residing in the County of Derby, held at, the House of Mrs. -
Frost, in Reiner, in the said County; on•Monday'fite iath
,day of April; 18,4 (pursuant to public Notice), to take
into consideration the-propriety of petitioningTarliathent
for the Repeal of the 3oth and 33d 'Sedions of the 'Ad of
the eed (;eu. 111. C. 38, restrieting the watering or sprink-
ling of Grain upon the Floor whilst making into. Malt; •
• ; 'Mr. JOHN HARRIS.ON,•ie, tlie"Chair ;
•It was unanhnously resolved, . .
THAT the operatida of the above Clauses has been
found, by experience, to be produelive of the most in-
jurioua conseqiiences to the•Manufaeliire of Malt, and to sub-
. Jed tht fair Trader to great difficulties and hardships; with-
out any adecivate tidvantagetb,the Revenue. - • •. • •
That the. moisture imbibed by theaGrain in the steep, how-
ever long immersed, is found te. be•ineompeteitt. to the pun,.
pose of keeping tip 'sufficient vegetafien to carry the acreapire,
as tar as the end of the grain, which ia• the true criterion of
eertiett Melt, - apiAthar the -restrixion • iniposee by thkabove -
Clauses against 'recruiting the languid vegetation, by- wetting
the Glaiin upon•the 'door, previous fo the expiration of twelve
days, renders it impossible to inantifaature a 'good article,
whereby the Malt ster au-stains greti.loss,
,and the. Consumer
still greater injury; and that this Meeting is not aware of any
disadvantage
,which could arise tif.the Revenue were the
• Makers .of Malt permitted as heretofore to. sprinkle their
Grain- upon the-P loor, the Officers ef--Excis'e allaying the
',ewer of taking theirgauges in auy.state of operation between
the steep mid the•Kilit. . ' • . - •
' That ottlependent of the evil abeve stated, the most op-
pressive and serious grievancea to the Mapu4cture-rs of Malt'
arise from the facilities and tentlatationd which the first men-
tioned Clause in particular atroids tin -unfounded and vex-
atiot:a prosecutions..
That the naturally .moist appear.:nce of the Grain uponihe •
-floor for several. days atter. being thrown from the cistern, '
added to-their:lel of the Officers partkipating hi the penalties,
etlables and encourages such as are culler ignorantaq the tiro-
cess or ieclined to take undue advantages, by availing them-
selves
of the partiCular stages.ofoperaeion whee such natural
appearanc.es may seem to justify suspicion, to exhibit info-r--
mations.against the Maltstcr, from` which vigilance cannot'
guard, nor innocence protect 'him, upon which convictions
are accustomed to be founded upon matter of opinion oiily,
and from which no appeal into he-obtained, and these vexa- •
tions,and groundless informations Itave of late become so fre.
-quent, from the' facility with which charges of 014 des.ciiption
can be established, as to amount to a must,grieviaits evil, and
to become a source of the most serious alarm. -
That to obtain Redress. of the grievances above-mentioned •
is an object of the highest importance; andibr that purpbse,
this Meeting directs a leetition to be presented to the Honour-
able the House of Commons, aettmg forth the same, and
praying for such.relief as-tO• the House in its wisdom shall
seem fit. .. . . . .
