THE COAL TRADE.
A report of the Coal and Corn and Finance Committee'
on the petition of Thomas Bradfield, was read.
The Report, after stating the petition of Mr. Bodfieb.l3
relative to the present` state of the coal-trade, the stiiis
stance of which has already been published, and 0°6..
that the Committee had been attended by the Pteie
tioner, and also by several persons engaged in; eel.
coal-trade, reported that in their opinion the Peti6:ets
had misconceived the powers of the Corporation, which
not for thegeneral regulation of the trade. The Corporsuir
had no power to appoint additional weighers, but in Cede,
sequence of the complaint on the subject, the coal tear
had recently appointed ten additional 'weighers. The unto
mitten finding they had not the power to comply with .
prayer of the petitioner, did not proceed further with the Peri
tion, so far as it related to the affording additional aennunaip
dation for colliers in the River, as regarded the ordeeig
which they discharge their cargoes, those matters be
already under the consideration of another Committee.
Mr. BECKWITH, in moving that the report be reeei%;r
denied that the price of coals had been enhanced by thre,,iv
sufficiency of the number of weighers. The right (31'
pointing their weighers had been for the last 6 years e,6;
cised by the coal trade—there were now 172, and as onlY
colliers could be in the Thames at one time, there was
than than one weigher to each collier, and each weigher eilli/tr
under him a gang of eight or ten men--the number, th
fore employed was more than sufficient.
The Report was received.
Mr. Bradfield having complained of b barged a f 64
i en
c
of 1/. 3s. 6d. on presenting his petition,
the same was lir
dered to be refunded.
