FOR TIT
--"
SUNDERLAND, 13th MAN, 1824.

Mr. MilTott-1 beg leave, through the medium
of your widely circulated Journal, to offer a few observations
on the subject of the Bill now before Parliament, for regulating
the loading of Ships with Coals at the port of Sunderland, in
the county of Durham, in which I conceive the public is deeply
interested.

As far back as in the sixth year of the reign of his late Ma-
jesty, an Act of Parliament was passed for regulating the Coal
Trade, by providing a fair and regular turn in the loading of
coals for each vessel as it should arrive, intitled, " An Act to
" regulate the Loading of Ships with Coals in the ports of New-
" castle and Sunderland," for a period ofseven years, which was
found to be so beneficial to the trade as to be removed from time to
time, until the year 17:17, when it was suffered to expire, and has,
as regards the port of Sunderland, laid dormant from that time ;
but about thirteen years afterwards the Ship-owners of New-
castle, finding the trade greatly inconvenienced from the want
of it, applied to Parliament for its renewal at that port, which
was obtained, and the Act has since been continued up to this
time, and been found extremely advantageous, and has been
again renewed in the present session.
The Ship-owners and others interested in the trade of the
port of Sunderland, having experienced similar Inconvenience
as those connected with Newcastle, from the discontinuance of
the Act, and seeing the advantages derived from the revival of
it there, have caused the present Bill to be brought into the
-House of Commons, which was read a second time previous to
the recess, and is now about to go before a Committee.
For a few years back some of the leading coal Fitters in
Sunderland, about five in number, the. middlemen between
the Coal-owner- and- Ship-owner, and ivho haVe exclusively
the vending of the best coals-,- engroSsed the sale
of them almost wholly to tltemselves, anil_ have also been
the means of keeping up the prices of the inferior .sorts in the
market beyond their real' valae, which is effeeted in the fol-
lowing manner.:, On :the arrival of -a -vehS:el, and the owner
making application to a Fitter for a cargo of the best coals, he
is refused talthoUgh at the tim:, the coals arc lying ready in his
craft 1, unlesslie .will agree to take a cargo or two of the inferior
coals afterwards at a price, which if he' does, he is nearly cer-
tain to lose as much by the sale of the inferior as he previously
gained by the best coals.. On some occasions, as a matter of
favour, he is Alten on toloadi and at the time When the coals
are about to be shipped, a vessel, belonging to the Fitter or
some particular friend, havie'apPeared off the harbour, the
loading is stopped and the coals lout on board the other vessel,
which sails immetliattly, and the. Ship-Owner is prßhably de-
layed some weeks; and there-have been instat\ces where indi-.
viduals have. been refused clads bj-Fittcra, rat the--ground that
they were keeping them for ships thety9xpeeted,. when it -has
been known at the time; that they were in the River. Thames
half laden, and.the coals have remained 4n the keels for a fort-
night and three weeks,.thaughlmanyTersans would gladly have
taken them to market.

Those praetiees,,besitles the indiiiduid 'injury which is sus-
tabled by the ship-owner in hellig -de) rived of a fair and re.
gular turn, cause also a serious Lis, to, g,he town, inasmuch as
that strangers Who would come to die mace were they certain
of their vessels being regularly, _ jgacia4 4,-; at Newcastle, and
that they were not to be
subject to the will &caprice of the
Fitters, go past to that port only six nines distant.
This conduct on the part of the Fitters it is submitted, view-
ing it as a monopoly only, and as affecting the shipping inte-
rest alone, is one which ought to be checked, but when it is con-
sidered to what an extent the evil may b 2 carried to the
injury of the public, if the Fitters are
permitted to retain so
dangerous a power as that of keeping back ol all occasion,
when it may suit their intei•est, a supply of coals fiorn the
markets, it is earneslY.tci be hop2d that the Legislature will see
the propriety of placing a curb on those individuals, by passing
the Bill. - _

•
The conduct of the Fitters, or rather its effect is equally in-
which, perhaps, they are not aware ; however, that is their
extent, of
the public, and if they submit to it, none

..76try- ,
gOl
• itn untkinopplication to Parliament, it is evident the
ni ,fferland are not seeking any exclusive pri-
ellge°fiwnforertshemselaih—all they are requesting is, that one of
the great and staple briinches of the commerce of this country,
and that from winch its Maritime greatness has chiefly arisen,
namely the Coal Trade, should be drawn from the grasp of a
few interested individuals, by whom it is engrossed and laid open
to the public at large, who may thereby be enabled to claim a fair
and regular turn in the loading of their ships as they arrive, and
in the profits of the trade, and
certain Patin and regular supply of coals which
h
measure
will naturally produce. The in-
ferior ehr ice(' oo exportedaprnduse:ceitiulics:natofPrilo rthe
a rtiee
i from Sunderland being, as has been be-
fore stated, kept up in price beyond their real value, by means
of the best coals, and which the passing of the Bill would tend
materially to check, the public beyond all doubt, are consi-
derably interested in the result of this application, as they cer-
tainly would be greatly benetitted by its success. For as in
that case every Ship-owner- coining to the port would have
the power of demanding a fair and regular turn of such
coals as might suit him, the fitters who now force off the infe-
rior coals by, in a measure compelling the sale of them along
with the best, at a price beyond their real value, being deprived
of that power, those coals would soon sink to their proper level
in the market.

In every point of view it is conceived the applicants for the
Bill are entitled to the consideration and support of Parliament:
First, because the object of the Bill is to destroy an unfair and
dangerous monopoly in a necessary article of life, which will
require all the care and circumspection of the Legislature, to
prevent, and to lay the same open to the public : Secondly,
as it will be an encouragement to a great proportion of the
Shipping Interest of the
i country at present considerably de-
pressed ; and thirdly, as t will tend to the supplying of Coals
to the public, at a lower rate than before they have been en-
abled to obtain them. And it is not considered that in this
they are at all interfering
with the trade of the Fitter, bat on
the contrary, that it is the interference of those persons with
the trade of the Ship-owner, which has driven them to
adopt the present course. In consequence of finding that
they could engross to themselves the profits arising
from the sale of the best sort of coals, certain of the Fitters have
ihiatttetrlsi e.asSlairipe-oswhinpe_roswansersa I):o'vners, to the exclusion of
suddenly become also great sin
I,midy (and consequently such of the
the trade generally, and all the Ship-owners are asking for is,
twill have the same privilege), may
be placed on an equal footing with respect to the loading of
themships, while the Fitters in that capacity, keeping to their
. own business, may conduct and enjoy the profits as they
please, they only being required to afford a regular turn in the
loadinf of every ship as it arrives.
Under - all the circumstances above mentioned, and at the
same time having in view the Act now passed for regulating
the trade at. Newcastle, only six miles distant from Sunderland,
it is hoped the Legislature will not withhold from the latter
Port, a measure which has been deemed necessary for the
former ; there being nothing in the relative situations of the
twes places
.to make the same applicable to the one and not to
the other, nor can Sunderland, it is submitted, be less entitled
to the care and protection of His Majesty's Government than
Newcastle.--I am, Sir,
•Your most obedient humble servant,
