AT a GENERAL MEETING of MALTSTERS 1,
and MAK t RS of MALT,. resitting within the Borough
and County 14 Huntingdon., hel at the Fountain Inn, in
Huntingdon,- on Tuesday the ttls Day of March, 41106, in
order to take into consAeratioo the propriety of .Pctitionine
Parliament for the Repeal of the pth and 35.d.SeClions of
tho Ad of atd of Geo.-1.11. 0, hap. 38, prohibiting the %Va. •
tcring or Sprinkling Grain making into' Malt upon the Floor; •
and also - for removing the doubts, at . present entertained,
concerning the Right of Appealing to the justice in Quarter
Sessions from Convictions by two Magistrates;
Mr. WILLIAM HERBERT in the Chair;
It was unanimously agreed, That ,the operation of the
Above Clauses has been found by experience to be productive
of the most injurious consequences w tie Manufacture of
Malt, and to subjed the fair Trader to gat difficulties and
hardsnips, without any advantage to the Revenue; and that
the most serious anti oppressive grievances. to the Manufac-
turers of Malt arise from the facilities and temntations which
the first mentioned Clause alibrds for unfounded and vexa- ,
tious Prosecutieu S.
That the naturally moist appearance of the Grain upon
the Floor, for several days attei being thrown front the.
Cistern, added to the fad a the Officers participating. in the
Penalties, enables and encourages such as are either ignorant
of the process, or inclined tk' take undue advantages, by avail-
ing theinaelves of the particular stage of operation when
seen natural appearances may seem to justify suspicion, to
exhibit informanons against the Maltster, trent which no vi-
gilance can guaitleand *so innocence protect him, upon which
Convictioils are accustomed to be founded on matter of opi-
nion and front which no appeal is to be obtained ; and
these vexatious and groundless Informations have of • late oe-
come so frequent, from the facility with which charges of
this deseription can he established, as- to amount to a'roost
grievous evil, and to become a source of the most serious
alarm.
That the foregoing hardships are considerably aggravated
by the doubts which.,are entertained concerning the right of
appealing front. Convictions under the above Ad to the jus.
aices asSemialed.at. the General •Quarter Sessions of the Peace,
a privilege extended to all other offences relating to the Duties
on Malt; anti horn which, as to this particular offence,,
upon which decisions, •for the reasons • above stated, must be
so peculiarly liable to error, this Meeting cannot conceive-it.
was the intention of the Legislature to exclude them.
And that, to enable us to obtain redress of the grievances
produced by the said Clause, a Petition be presented to the
Honourable the House of Commons, setting forth the same,'
and praying for such Relief as they,, in their .wisdom, shall
think fit to grant.
And a Petition having been prepared and read,- •
Resolved unanimously, That the said Pet itionis approved
by.this 'Meeting, and that the same be signed by each person
present, and be forthwith sent to such Maltsteris and Makers
of Malt as have not been able 'to attend at this Meeting
for their respective Signatures. . .
That a Subscription he immediatety entered into for the
.purpose of raising a Fund to provide fur the Expenses which
may arise in the progress of this business ; and that the
Chairman be appointed Treasurer.
That the following Gentlemen who composed this Meet-
ing, or any titiee of them, he a Committee to'r managing the
