• th this Committee views with inexpressible surprise and
ise commercial policy of her Majesty's Government, as ex-
y air R. Peel, believing it to be pregnant either with the de-
t'i`ion of British agriculture, or with the reduction of the wages of
toethei labouring classes in this, country to the level of those paid in
ttlableental Europe, and in either case likely to produce an incal-
„iunount of individual misery and national degradation.
