petition in every branch of the coal trade for any part of it to
be overpaid ; and the truth of this will I trust be brought out
by the Committee now sitting to investigate the present regu-
lations which govern the trade, and which were made in 1833
to protect the coal and ship owner from certain ruin, and which
in result have proved so beneficial in supplying the metropolis
with fuel at a steady and moderate price, instead of the de-
structive fluctuations which invariably visited the poorer
classes when the trade was open, and without those regula-
tions which are at present so little understood.

purchase of colliers than Mr. Bailey, and concludes the coal
trade must now be profitable, as they ran afford to have large
new ships, and to lie six weeks in the river. Now if the
profit of one of those ships was compared to that of James
Fyfe's barge it would be found who bad the best of it. I had
no idea that a Parliamentary Committee would have listened
to anything half so unsatisfactory as the evidence of those
two witnesses, and how it happened that Sir James Duke did
not confute their nonsensical arguments to me seems astonish-
ing ; he must have known they were talking great absurdity,
and in his own defence, as a factor, should have made it
evident.
My old friend, R. B. Roxby, has had ships in the coal
trade for many years, and there are few men better acquainted
with all Bills for the regulations of the coal trade than he is,
and I think he might have been more explicit, as there are few i
or none better able to give the evidence required than he s,
particularly respecting the management and profit of colliers.
