AT a numerous and highly respectable
Meeting of the LANDHOLDERS and FREE-
HOLDERS of the County of DUBLIN, held this day,
in the Court-Louse, at Kihnainharn, to consider the pro-
• pad measure of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to
alter the relative DUTIES on RUM and HOME. MADE
SPIRITS ;
The Hon. THOMAS BARNWALL, High Sheriff, in
the Chair,
The following Resolutions were unanimously agreed to:
Moved by George Evans, Esq., seconded by Joseph
Smith, Esq., and passed unanimously-
- " That we have heard with an alarm, commensurate
With the serious coasequences it must necessarily produce
in Ireland, the measure proposed by the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, namely, that of increasing the Duty on
Spirits manufactured from Corn, without a corresponding
advance in that chargeable on Rum, which must ine-
vitably lead to au Increased consumption of the latter,
taitiledr,4l),Zpoprivi
)rtos decrease in that of the former—
the .Aerieulturists of these Countries,
already so heriously depressed, of that fair and just protec-
tion in the Home Markzt, to which they are so fully en-
titled."
Moved by J. D. Latouche, Esq. ; seeondel by Joseph
H"ne, Esq., and passed unaehnously—
" That it appears to the Meeting, as well from what
has already taken place in tie House of Commons, as from
Parliamentary and other documents, that, in the year
1825, after the fullest investigation, and upon due consi-
deration of the subject, by his Majesty's Government, a
ditty of Is. per gallon was fixed on Corn Spirits, manufac-
tured or sold in England, and Se. 6d. on Rum ; the dif-
ference only affording a fair and reasonable protection to
the Agriculturists of the United Kingdom ; and that no
eircumstances have, since that period, occurred to call fur
a dinainution of such protection."
Moved by Sir Thomas Esmonde ; seconded by Peter
Seaver, Esq., and passed unanimously—
" That it appears from Official Returns, recently pub-
lished, that since the Duty on Corn Spirits and Rum were
its fixed in 1825, the consumption atilt latter has steadily
increased, and that in the twelvemonths ending the sth of
January last, it has exceeded that of the preceding year by
237,827 gallons, while the consumption of Corn Spirits
has, during the same period, decreased 55,923 gallons."
Moved by Joseph Baruwall, Esq. ; seconded by Robert
Molloy, Esq., and passed unanimously—
" That it appears from the same Official Returns, that
under the scale of Duties fixed in 1825, •the quantity of
Rum used in England was equal to nearly one-third of her
whole consumption in Spirits, and therefore it is manifest
• that the proposed nearer approximation of Duty on the
two articles must inevitably lead to the more general con-
sumption of Rum, and this to the exclusion of Home-
-Made Spirits; the latter of which is, we find, subject to
restriction* and regulations, and to various indirect Taxes,
-from which the Manufacturer of the Foreign article is
altogether exempted:"
Moved by Viscount Brabazon ; seconded by P. Murphy,
Esq , and passed unanimously—
" That if the consumption of inferior or damaged Corn
now used in the Distilleries, and totally unfit for human
food, or other purposes, shall be materially decreased, or,
perhaps, wholly .discontinued by the operation of the
contetnplated measure, a considerable portion of the soil of
this country, which is capable of producing inferior Corn
only, will cease to be cultivated, or a new source of de-
mand be created by the revival of Illicit Distillation, the
demoralising influence of which will again disgrace, de-
grade, and afflict the country."
Moved by Wm. F. Finn, Esq. ; seconded by Christo-
pher Fitzsimon, Esq., and passed unanimously—
" That being thus deeply impressed with the great im
portance of the proposed alteration of the Law, and i•l9
destructive effects upon the Agricultural Interests of the
United Kingdom, and especially upon those of Ireland ;
that 'the Petitions now read be adopted by this County,
and forwarded to both Houses of Parliament ; and that
we do earnestly solicit the co-operation of all the Members
'connected with Ireland, in both Houses of Parliament, to
use their beat endeavours in preventing the passing of the
proposed measure; and that- the High Sheriff of this
, County be'requested to forward copies of these our Reso-
Intim:is, without delay, to his Grace the Duke of Welling-
t°,,, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and-to entreat
'their serious attention to this most important subject."
- Moved by Lundy 'Foot, Esq. ; seconded by David
Lynch; Esq., and passed unanimously-
-"'Thatt we do recommend to the several counties in Ire--
-And inimediately•to come forward, and, by public meet-
. .610. lvgally convened, to give expression to those senti-
.. ments whieh we know they must necessarily entertaiu in
common with ourselves, upon a subject of paramount
consideration to Ireland, and that they will strenuously
tbirnPresa upon their respective representatives the necessity
that exists of supporting the interests of Agriculture,
Which are so interwoven with the permanent prosperity
of this country, against the enactment of the proposed
Measure."
Moved by J. William Stubbs, Esq.; seconded by John
Gerrard, Esq., and passed unanimously--
a That the petition to the House of Lords be intrusted
to the care of his Grace the Duke of Leinster, with a re-
quest that his Lordship will present it to that branch of
the Legislature; and that the Representative Peers for
Ireland in the House, and the other Noblemen connected
, with, and interested in, the Agriculture of this country, be
requested to support the prayer of our petition."
• Moved by George Evans, Esq. ; seconded by J. D. La-
touch', Esq., and passed unanimously—
, " That the petition to the House of Commons be pre-
sented by our oenietrounty Member Colonel Talbot ; and
that Colonel Whits be requested to support the prayer
