MALT DT;TY BILL.

On the Order of the Day being Tunred for the
second readin2 of the Malt Duty Bill,
Sir WILT.I.m DUNDAS objected to the Bill, on
the geoinni.tblt in Scotland it would he injurious
to the 1.,r01k.-er of corn. In the Bill of last Ses-
sion, o•!ly 55 boUrs were allowed for steeping ;
jOund sufficient in Yorkshire, and it
nded to 65 hours. In Scotland, which

Id) further North,. the time, for steeping
longer than even in Yorkshire. Few
,'r-aud-s 'were practised in Scotland,* though 'the
temptation to them was increased by this Bill.
After a few remarks froM Mr, LASCELLES,
• Mr.•WnAa'rotc.said, that the Observations of his
Right Hon.'Friend (Sir W. Dundas)were found-
ed in mistake. It was not true that the barley
of Scotland wzs inferior to that of England., It
was notorious that the barley principally used
there in the distilleries was the .growth of Nor-
folk.; if then the Scotch distillers obtained what
they required, that was' 100 hours -for steeping,'
the consequence would be, that they might have
two wettings in the place of one. With respect
to frauds, the year 1809 alore there were 4541
in Scotland, in the distillation business, and only
1321 in England.
The Rill was then read a secondtime.
In a Committee of Supply, the sum of 13171. 4.
was voted for building a Marshalsea Court.
