SCOTCH DISTILLERY BILL.

The CllAscimi.oa of the EXCIIRCLUER moved the
first reading of the Scotch Distillery Bill.
Mr J. P: GRANT observed; that he understood
this to be a Bill for equalising to a certain extent
the trade in spirits in England and Scotland ;' but
th:,t the duty was intended to remain somewhat
Sower in Scotland, and the law was still to remain
the sane; by which, as it now stands, the Scot-
tish and English distillers are required to work
for exnnrtation to either country respectively, in
separate works fron► those used for making spirits
,fur home consumption. He was authorised to
Say by those most interested, the Scottish distil-
lers, that they would consider it a less inconve-
nience to pay the higher duty, and to be permit-
ted to work for 'loth ountries in the same house ;
and he hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman if it was
too !ate this Session of Farliatnent, wool,{ take
this matter into his consideration before next ties-
Sion, as equally beneficial to the trade and to the
revenue.

r Cif AvrF.LLOPt of the rA CITECIt7F. R replied,
that the suggestion of the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman merited attention. It went to put the
trade of the different countries on a footing of
equally, which was highly desirable ; .but it was
too iate this Session to introduce an alteration of
atinco til.porta,,,:•e. lie would, however, take
it nto consideration against another Session of
Parliament.
Mr. J. P. GRANT observed, there was one
thing 'le had omitted to state ; namely, that in
Vie intercourse with Ireland, it was very desirable
also to do away with the necessity of separate
works. At present a separate work, at the ex-
renre of about 40,0001. each work, was neces-
sary to make spirits for each country ; and for
those made fur exportation. to Ireland no duty
pad. It would be better to sate the neces-
sity of the expeuce of a separate house, aml pay
the duty on all spirits in advance, drawing back
tbt duty on such as should be exported.
After some observations on the part of Mr
Whit',read, M.. Addington, Mr. Abercromby,
Gonthorn, Mr. It. Smith, and Mr. Alderman.
Atkins, the. Report was received, and the Bill
Nt as ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.
