Mr. MARTIN, brought op a Petition fiOrn the In.
habitants of :Tewkesbury,- praying' the House to
take 'somemeastzies -to prevent the Distillers from

'had been p;:escrited,. and had been ordered to lie on
"the able. The'opinions.contained in these petitions,
.thit the eipening the Distilleries would increase the
priCe of. Briad; now become general.; and it
coaki no longer he called a popular prejudice, since
the 'City of London had adopted .it. Ie wished to
.
know, whether the Right Hon. Genttemattmeant to
'inove. for the appointment .of an early day after the
Rect-Ss tor taking it into'coniideration
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
he 'believed the Honourable Gentleman 'himself had
been.,the. first to call, this opinion a Prejudice ; but
he Aid not. lise at .present to enter into a discussion
of that subjed : he rose in consequence of the ques-
tion which har been proposed by the Hon.GentleMan
' w'h tpcili.e-last to the Hon. Gentleman-who brought
up the Vetition: . Hecunceived it to be one of the-
most undoubted duties a a Member of -Parliament,
to present Petitions to that House, provided they
were couched in proper - and respeCtful . terms.; but
when the Petition ,Was presented;. the Member had
done his duty, and he was by.no means:committed
to support any of the opinions. which -might be ad-
' vaned ;in such Petition; which,. after "it had been.
dpresented, became.,:as it were,' the property bfsthe
ouse, and any other Gentleman had as much right
to make a motion upon— it, as the Gentleman by
whom it was introduced.: The flonOUrable ,Mem-
ber, in point -of'qriEt forM; had no right; to call Upon
the 3ollourable -Gentleman Who Presented. the P,eti.,
tionlo appoint day for taking it into consideration.
It the Hon;Genclenin thoughtpat this was a subje&
upon whidvinquiry was necessary, it.w.as.fully cord-
petent to that Gentleman to Make a motion on the
sibject. • :. . ,

Mr. DENT said, he
,was aware of the Forms of
the louse upon this subreer, but he hadbeen in-
ducedridask the question from a consideration, that
if the House broke ,up %.vith•opt some,decision upon
this subjea, the mischief would still gu on., He
wAs convinced, that if there. ',*as sufficient time,
Petitions against Distilling from Grain, would come
frorn_all quarters, _particularly_from the North.

Sir`
ROBERT BUXI'OIV said," that when the
. -
Petition from the City.of London tp)on.thiS subjeet
was presented,. sevral obSetVationS occurred to him,
with which:he.-didnot. thinkit necessary to trouble-
the House at that time.. The produce -of the crop,
of this yearlhad been abundant beyond ekample,.
but. if wheat was reduced below acerulin priee, that
is to say, mo.re' than' ihree7ponnds a load less, than
the present price, the Fartnett could not live; they
c'euld., not afford to grow Wheat. It "should be re_
collected, how much the expellees. of the ,Farmer
were increased ; , how the Poor Rate; wete aug-
mented how much 'higher the 'price aLatiour was;
and When all these were taken into Consideration,
the. House, he was sure, would agree with him in
the opinion he had laid down..,- It shOuld be recoh.
•Ktedy, that they were not now t-Alking about Dis,
tilling Itom Wheat, which .was prohibited, hilt ordy
from Ba-riey, by permitting the pistilleries
.t 6 go-on, as nine' food would be produced,- as if the
.Barley was made into Bread.
Mr. MARTIA 'said; it was not his intention to
make ;my other Motion- respe4ing this Petition,.
dm-that:it. should lie on the

Sir -LP:: DOLBEN said, it was the enormous
'.rice which Farmers put upon their Grain .that had
augmented the Poor Rates so -Much. He knew rer-
fealy 'Well, that in his par-frof the•country, the Far-
epujky vcry. -afford' to sell their Corn
Cheaper than they did.
Mr. ALE:i7kODE brOught.up the Report of
the Starch 116 i—which was agreed to, and the -Bill
was ordered<to be ingtossed.
Mr..W.DU .N DAS gave notice that he should,
affeir; the Recess, .propose the application of. acer-
tiw. sum of riviney for repairing the, Roads and
f3ridges in,the Four Northern Counties of Scotland,
which were, he said, at present almost- inaccessible,
Theßepor t of the Irish
,Whe-ot_ Distillery- Bilt
was brotght-up.

Mr. FA NUTT/Het proposed a CfailSe,
iryg. the Bill to 1):•:.:•--repe*d• or altered during • the
present- Session—wiach was agree I
to.

said, he would,-with the perrnitan of ihe House,
take this..opportunity ofmaking a few more observa-
tions, which had occurred to turn upon this subjea.
He had undertood that it was the intention of some
Gentleinen-to make a pioppsition. before the Huse
went into a Committee upon this Bill, to wood it
to other.articles, because the complaint against thii -
Bill was, not on account of any thing which it
Contained; but for what it did not contain, or in
other words, that it did nut go far enough. When
this, subjea was first discussed,• the propriety of
including another, species of-Grain in ;the, Prdhibi-
ti6n, came. froth a Certain quarter Which could not
' now be alluded to without regret; it was from a per-
son whom -they had lately the happiness and honour
of seing among them, and whose loss they must all
deplore—a-person whoseonemory must be respeaed
arid honoured .by all those-who-considered a sound
'understanding, extensive knowledge,' the most
honourable feelings, and
.the most benevolent heart,
as entitling a man to respea and honour, - He how-
ever„begged leave tci state hi,steasons'for'differing
even from such an Authority., and for not applying the
Prohibition to Oats, as had been recominended by that.
Right Hon. person (the late Sir JoaN PARNELL). It
was to be observed, that Oats were not used far the
purpose ofdistillation in this Country,-and very little.
in Scotland. l- Ireland the thief articleoffoodof
the poor was Potatoes. - Considerable quantities of.
Oats were exported from Ireland to Scotiand, where
*they were the common food ; but he was happy to
observe, that in Scotland the price of that article
wasloW. It was generally said in Scotlaod,' that,
a Labourer had no .reason to complain when by his
day's work' he could_ procure a 'peck of Oatmeal:
•Now .the :OrdinAty '-pay of
.Labourers in Scotland
:was from SiXteen-pence to twenty-pence a day, and
-,the Price of a . peck of Oatmeal was from twelve-
- pence to fifteen-pence. So that there appeared no
good reascin:lwhy distilling, from Oats in .Irelaod
should be prohibited. He .would,-now say a few
words upon the stibjeet of Revenue. —He -confessed
he-"did- not lay any ,great stress upon the' increase of
,• Revenue, as an argument for opening the Distilleries, •
because he had 'been. governed by other considera-
,tions ; , but he. would. by no means admit, that.-it • .
was not to be' coriskiered .at all, or that it, would
-not aff'ec'ted--by the decision upon this subjeti,
though certainly not to :such -a degree as had been
imagined he had stated this when the Bill respea-
ing the -Duty upon-Spirits distilled from Molasses
was before the' House, and whicn. he'was, sorry it
had-been
.found necessary Ito postpone till after the
,Holidays. The difficulties which subsisted upon
this subjea, arose from the price:of Grain in Ire-
land, as Barley -in that Ciiiintry, 'though cheaper
than it was in England, yet was-above the export
.Another difficulty -arose from.. a restraint
_ which they were under in ccinseqtteiide of ihe Aft
'of- Union,: which prevented- them from making-any
distinaion between Spirits diatilledfrom Malt, and
,Those distilled from Molasses and Sugar. 'The, si-
tuation then it; which they stood-, was,this, that if
' they were to prohibit the Distiller.ies in any'part '
the United Kingdom, the consequence Woad
mediately be, that the Distilleries woUld'be'clan-
destinely carried on in Ireland to an enormous ex-
tent, to- the great diminution of the Revenue, to the
_injury of the fair .Trader, as well as to the' Morals_
of the People nor was it altogether uncontieaed..
with the peace of that Country: in Scotland also
there would be- Distilleries clandestinely' and il-
legally - carried on,' though not to such' an ex.
tent as. in
,Ireland ; and,- in those -parts' Of the
Country, where that was not the-case, they s'mtig-
gle in Spirits from the Continent. So -that the,
first consequence of stopping the Distilleries, would
be _to encourage, clandestine Distilleries in.lreland,
and also to
.encourage. the -smuggling iii of Spirits
fecnit the Continent into Scotland. As to the ob.
servation. that they • might distill 'from Molasses,
that was urged upon a supposition, that a ldwer duty
Might be imposed upon- the importation of Spirits
distilled from. Molasses, than upon Spirits-distilled
fmai Grain ; but he Inid before stated, that this was
iintiraaicable inconsequence of the provisiOns of
the At of Union. lie trusted that Many of the
.difficulties, which now prevailed, would - be done
away, by the adOption of a wise system of later_
course between
.the -two Countries, by whiCh the
price of Grain would be equal -in both. This could
°ply be done by establishing a free intercourse be.
tween them, hylorgetting, if he might use the ex_
ptresSion, that' we were divided from . that -Country
by the sea, and by , rejecting those .opinions which,
had been formed in a former state of -things. The
'adoption, of the -system to which;he alluded; he was
convinced, would be produCtive, in Ireland; of die
most beneficial effeas) it woula-encourage habits of
•
industry, it would promote Agriculture, "d the
generill'diffusion of property : to England also con,
siderable advantages would ensue, because we should
no longer' have to seek our Grain from Foreign
-&untries. This Was .the.ophtion he had formed
Upon this question, to which he had given every de.
gree of consideration in his power, and he thought
it hardly necessary to add, that if any plan could be
devised which would.have a tendency to -lower the
. price of the necessaries of life,. withour.violating alt
those principles • to :which we were bound to ad-
' ,here, .he would devote his-best attention-to it. He
would confess, that, at the same time, he saw othei
obstacles, into-the discussion of which he would 'not
now enter, because he had troubled- the House at
some length upon: them, on former Occasions. With
' respea to the loss which the Revenue would sustain,
if all Distilling, except from Molasses, was•pro-
hibited, had only to:observe, if the Duties upon
. -Spirits so distilled, .fell:Short of, 7 or 800,0001.
the loss to the Revenue would -be the difference
between that :.sum and that -which- they -pro.
duced. Upoo :the- whole, therefore,' thinking,
after the fullest consideration, that the effect of
prohibiting the DiStillerics would be only to encou-
rage the imporfatioo of Smuggled
, Spirits into Scot-
land, which all the of our Cruizers would
be unable to prevent ; to encourage illegal- Distilla-
tion in krelan4, by' which means an eaual.quailtity
of Grain- would be cOrisnmed,the'Revenue.defFatitt
ed, and the f:lir Trader injurea ; thinking dint the
opening of. the:pisrilieries would have:, a very con.
idetable .effea iii;reducing the price of Meat,-, the
distress lirisiteg from which was only inferior to t-he
distress -ariaio4. front-the clearilei Breada Iv could

-Dittiileiles, and consequently snouid give his sup-
port £6 the present Bill.
Mr. bENT said he hoped that after a fair trial,.
ifJlte present plan was found to be ineffeatiall,.
that Government would not hesitate to give it up-.
With respea to the quantity of Barley consumed in
the Distilleries, he had always been of opinion that
the quantity of Barley used in the Distilleries was so
small, that' he never could see the reason for stop_
ping them at all. Undoubtedly 300,000 quarters
could not make a scarcity, but he had never said that..
the scarcity was real; on the contrary he had always
been of opinion, that it was artificial, and produced
by engrossing and other praftices of a similar na-
ture. With respea to the tendency of the opening
of the Distilleries to reduce the price of Meat, he
understood that a calculation had been made, by
which it appeared that the, Distillers generally fed
above 41,000 hogs ; that they bought them when
they weighed about 12 stone, and fed them till they
weighed about rB.—This was certainly deserving
of'conSitiel-ation. It had been said, that it was
not permitred to persons to distil Wheat, bUt •he
was convinced ,that no regulation could prevent its
being used for that purpose.; Indeed that appeared
pretty evidently from a trial which took place some
time ago, when a person was' conviaed for using
Wheat for this purpose, and very cheerfully paid a
fine of 5001. because he had made many Thousands
by it..
_ _ _

.Mr. VANSITT ART remarked, that_ a consi-
derable part of the season for distilling had gone by,
as it generally began about the- Autumnal Equinox,
consequently the, quantity of Crain consumed could
not he so great.
The-CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER explained.

Mr. W. DUND AS entered into some calcula-
tions in support of what had fallen.from- his Right
Hon. Friend, particularly relative to the situation
of Scotland in those respels, where, he observed,
the price of Oatmeal could not be to low.

Mr. COERY wished to. offer a few remarks re_.
lative to the situation of Ireland.ln that-Country
the. regulations adverted tv by the Hon. G-eniliman'
would be imptatticable in its present circumstances;
in consequence of the late abundant _harvest,' which:
induced a consumption of grain before .unkno'wn.7--.
On this ground principally it was that the Procli.:
mation of the Lord Lieutenant and Council of Ire-
land
,praceeded, the ohje4l of which was to. open,
the Distilleries in that. part of the United Kingdqui,
on the first of January, in concurrence the
period fixed for 'that measure in Great Britain.' Ti
was found impossible to restrain the extensive COTI:..
sumption of grain, they were forced to the alter-
native, whether the usual. and licenced, Distilleiies
Should be permitted to work, or suffer the inhabitants
to be supplied with the produce,of illicit Distilla-
tions, in' a way equally destruffive to the health
and morals of the consumers, as injurious -on the
;score of Revenue, in which the-defalcations caused
hy. the stoppage, must be supplied,' 'perhaps by'
-grievous and :buithensothe irriposts -hOWever; he:
,was of opinion that the abundant hatv'eStin
:andothe great crop of Potatoes, and the plenty of
Grain in the Country, were consideration's which
would decidedly obviate every oblation, as . fat as
they .respated Ireland,
„which had been made The
measure before 'the -House:. 1 -. • ,
Mr. DENT spoke .very: Shortly in explanatioh,
which again called up .

Mr. CORRY, who observed it was. impossito to
separate 'the countries with 'respea to what the Ho.:
nourable Gentleman had adverted to,' as one of'the.
provisions in the' Ad of Union obliged this Country.
to take in Spirits from Ireland, under a certain duty ;
the idea I,v-as impratliaable, unleSS' it was Meant to
.lay doWn.a differept•system-..cif policy for-the respee.-'
tive countries. , He again adverted to the injurious
consequences which must. ensue in Ireland: were the
Distilleries .Stopt there. . Vnder- the present circum-
stances, it was iinpossible. to. adopt a different policy
for both Countries, and hoped such an idea was. hot
even in contemplation.
Mr. DENT and the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHE-QtrER explained.
Mr. ROBs'S'ON, after slightly adverting to the
consequences. of such a measure with respea to
Scotland, observed, that with regard 'to Ireland tte.„
was more than ever confirmed in the opinions 11010..
liven on a former. night. He ieitned-decidetifi?'
adverse to the measure, and proceeded to.obs-6rve,,
,that it was extraordinary such a line of condul:.
should be , thought of at a time When a R6port of a
Committee of the House 'of Cortuitons, strongly re.
commending the stoppage of the DiStilleries as, one
of the most efficient means of lowering the Price of
Provisions :—this was also the opinion of the Othq ,
House of Parliament, . In addition' to this, 'it 4-a0
in the Reports, that Barley was the' chief
food 'of the inttatAt.wAti of many Counties.; in some,
almost entirely : the question .then'-Of opening 'the
Distilleries 'was a great and important considera.
don. In his opinions on this subjeft he was sup:
ported by the City of London', as well as of several

other Cities, and .a great part of the inhabitants of
the Country,' -as•the numerous Feritions upon ihe
Table evinced. On these grounds 'he would,
intreat the House to , pause before- 'it shoirld,
determine. The proposed line •of eondud' was
also still more objedionable, when' it • was -eon.'
sidered, how little . time had. elapsed, since the,
House voted z4,,0001.- for•the support of the Poor
in some of the Eastern, Parishes, If Bread was to
continue ,the principal food of the Country,, he
would ask.' the. House, how fir the State of • the,
Country Ahwl changed since that time, which trey
warrant the proposed line of conduct ? What was
the „difference in the Price -of' Provisions, which
would .warrant them in suffering the Prohibitory
Laws to expire, and at a time when every Article
of Provision was at the height it then -was ? For
hii part, he .w'oul'd persist, and in every Stage give
his 'Strenuous
_opposition to such ,a line of policy..
He was confident,. that did the House remain sit-
ting-, the number of,Petitions upon the Table would
be, •at feast; doubled. He, thought Parliament, -in
such circumstances, should continue sitting ; and
he could prove, that the Revenue would not. even-
tuallY surer by continuing the Prohibition, as by.
Jet-6;g 'the Distilleriei loose, the Revenue may
'increase in that partictilarbead, but 1ic.w.2.4 certairv,
it would lose more itl4t)thet ways.-

words, inconsequence of a point or two which had
fallen from' the Hon. Gentleman, with respel to the
Sum which the House had voted for the Relief of
the Poor of certain Distrias, it was 30,0001. that
had been voted, of which it was found.nccessary to
expend only 24,000r.—8it he would beg the House
and the Hon. Gentleman-to recolleft, that it was at t
.period when the distress of the Country, with ro
speel to Provisions, was-at its greatest height; -and
in partiCular,- the price of' Grain was at that period
fully double what it was at present. • This, he
thought, was a sufficient answer to the Hon. en.
tleman's question. Did the difference in the prieeg
'of Provisions-warrant the HoUse in,,permitting the
Distilleries to work ? In midi ticin- great and
.obvious difference-in the prices of Grain, -was to be
added the very fair prosped. therhad respett
to -the future sipply_from the late abundant harvest.
• Mr. ROBSOH,* in explanation, entertdinto some
short calculations respelling the mode and times of
payment of the- sum of: 24.,0001. for the relied-, of the
Poor ; a part of_ which,. we understood him to say,
was not more than a month 'previous- to the agitation
of the business in question. •
Mr.. V ANSITTART said a few words in order
to re lify some errors in the statements of the Hon.
Gentleman, respelling the payments of the 'money
in question which called up
Mr. ROBSON in explanation ; who was again
answered by Mr. VANS /TTAR T, who offered some
explanatory remarks.
-• The SPEAKER felt hiniself Galled upon to notice
the irregularity of a conversation, the iti4jea of
which was irrelevant to the question. before the
'Rouse, which he formally announced to.be,—" That
this Clause do stand part 'of the Bill." '
- On the question being regularly put, it was care
tied ;. as were the other parts of the report.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said he had to apologize to the HouSe for again offer-
ing himself, after having so•recently trespassed upon
them rather in detail ; but it was a respell ,which
he felt 'due to the Petitioners; many of whom were
of the most respe6able classes; to acknowledge that
the Table of; that House did. not 'contain all the Pe-
titions which had been offered, on the occasion. Se•
veral had been received, particularly lrom Scotl sod,
expressive -Of 'the •greatest uneasiness and anxiety
upon vtl3e subjea, addressed' to the Lords 'Commil.
sionets. Af" tbe.Treasury, who, it was unnecessary to

'=thought it right to make this ackno'V;Aedgeniert, thai

Table.

The Bin was then ordered to- be ;forthwith its
grossed, and read a third time thit evening, i 5

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHECUEg
moved, " That the Ame4nents made by the

taken into consideration."

,The same were accordingly taken-into consider-
