and which hatL just been put into .his handS,
corroborating what he had lititea on a former

I- " Stn,--Ini:',4nnsequence of the observations you did our
profestka the honour to make in the tiouse of Commons on
Friday evening last, Which were contradided by Mr. Whar-
ton and Mr. Vansittart, we deem it doe to the feelings of Mr.
George Robins, from wlio.n you received the statement, and
respectful towards you, who have so •kindly advocated our
cause' to state, that the :ibserkations you were authorised to-
make: by Mr. Robins are .v.trietly Correa; and in reference to
the iniutites of a convetatioii which Passed with Mr. Vans.it.
tart last year, we find the following pasF:age relating to it :
Mr. Vansittatt. obserred,"that he should have full time to
consider the Auction Bill during the recess ; that he would
consult and advise with the deputation, and Nee them from
time to time ; and that be ivoald, in the course Of the recess,
communicate his sentiments and opinion in writing to them.
The Bill, however, passed all its stages, save only the Report,
. before we received any sort of intima_tion that it was againintroduced into the House of CountiOns, ate-•artliag the word
' " experiment," as made use of by Mr. Wharton, we state
deetiae/y, that be assured us, he apprehended the Bill must
'undergo impoetaitt alteration in the eusttin4 St'ersioni hut he
must, in the mean titua tryi the experiatent;" and- lastly,
he stated, that out objecti ans. to the Bill had. now ceased.—
` To this we reply by referring to.apass.:,,,,,e in oar letter to

ble that mock. auctions should .be put.down ;. but
this bill would be fatal to the fair-trader.' '
Xt. FRISE*NTLE urged scvertd objections-4o
the measure. fle understood it in some cases.-.to

merely to impose a' duty on wlro

of public competition, befere they sold, it' by pri-

per cent. on articles 'sold, -and one per cent. was

so great a falling off was experienced, 'that the
French Government had been led to take up.the

its Original footing.. • • ' •

ivith some severity on some oldie provisions con,
twined -in the. Bill, and expressed himself to be
confident that every respectable Auctioneer would,
if it-were passed, hesitate to carry on the business
at all.
Mr. LOCKHART thought the Bill would 'not only
injure the Auction Duties, but' that it would se-
riously affect other duties, particolarly. the Stamp
and Conveyancing
