WEIGHTS AND MEASURES ACTS.
The following Resolutions were also reported and agreed to,
and a Bill ordered :-
1. That the Imperial standard gallon directed by the pro-
visions of an Act of the last Session of ParliaMent, for esta-
blishing uniformity of Weights and Measures to be used in
and throughout the United Kingdom, from the Ist day
of January, 1826, being of the-content of 277,274 cubic
inches ; and the ale gallon, by which the Duties, Allow-
ances, and Drawbacks on Beer are charged and made
being 282 cubic inches ; and the gallon, eight of
which make a bushel, by which the Duties, -Allow-
ances, and Drawbacks, for or in .respect of Malt,
are charged and made, being 268.8 cubic inches ; and the
wine gallon, by which the Duties, Ailowances, and Draw-
backs, on Spirits, are charged and made, being, 231 cubic incites,
precisely equivalent Duties, Allowances, and Drawbacks, can-
not be charged or made for or in respect of Beer, Malt, and
Spirits, distilled or made in Scotland or Ireland; in proportion
to the variation in measure between the gallons respectively
now in use and such imperial standard gallon, without frac-
, tions, tending to impede and confuse the public .accounts ; it
' is therefore expedient to repeal all such Duties, Allowances,
and Drawbacks, and impose other Duties, Allowances, and
Drawbacks, in lieu thereof, as nearly equivalent thereto re-
spectively, as the rates of Duty on Beer, Malt, and such Spi-
rits respectively, and the several proportions between Malt and
I Beer and such Spirits respectively mentioned in the several
Laws of Excise relating thereto, will admit.
