LINEN MANUFACTURE OF IRELAND.

The House, on the Motion of Mr. FOSTER, re-
solved itself into a Committee on the Bill for the
better regulation of the Irish Linen iVlanufaeture.

Mr CORRY said, that as the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman who introduced this Bill had not gone into
any statement of the causes which induced him to •
bring it forward, it was necessary for him (Mr.
CORRY), in the situation which he had the honour
to hold, to discharge certain duties which, in con-
sequence of that situation, fell upon him, however
unpleasant it might It. to his private feelings. The
situation of the Linen Trade, as far as it related to
the importation of Flax-seed, was this, that it was to
be examined at the Custom-house of the Port into
which it was brought, by the Colletior of that port,
after which, if; upon examination, the seed was
found to be good, it was branded by the colle&or
as good seed, and fit for use. Formerly there was
a bounty upon the Importation of Flax-seed, and it
was thought necessary that this inspeaion should
be made, in order that the public money should
not be given away for bad seed, and also to prevent
the injury that must arise to the linen manufadure
from the use of such seed. Some time afterwards it
was thought proper to take off the bounty given
upon the importation of Flax-seed, but it was thought
expedient that the Coitettor should still examine
the seed, and that he should mark such as,, upon ex-
amination, was found to be good. For this duty the
Co,,ecior was allowed to receive 6d. a hogshead for
every hogshead so examined and branded, but it was
remarkable, that the fees were payable only in case
where the seed was branded: but when the seed, up-
on examination, was found unfit for use, then the
Colleaor was entitled to no fee whatever. The
ColleCtors certainly were not judges of what
was or what was not good seed, and, therefore,
,they , employed persons under them, and the
prailice was to give to the persons so em-
ployed, a parr of the fees : the consequence of this
Was, that the Colleaors did so transact the business,
(without any bad intention on their part) that those
persons had every temptation to brand whatever
seed was shewn to them. - By these means great
quanlities of very bad seed were introduced into the
country, inld great injury done to the Linen Ma-
twfaaure, It was true that the Collthors did not
examine those seeds themselves, and therefore it cer-
tainly was impossible to impute to them the com-
mission of any ;hiag th;t was improper ; hilt still
it speeie;.. of negligence and omission, The
ifneo;t4tlQ4 of -.V1ax.5004 was very great; grlci

principally into the ports of Dublin, Ntvtiy, ,130.
fast, and Derry; and it was an objea of tie greatest
importar.ce to the Country that the mos strietqc
aminatioil should take place upon the isportaciun
of the seed, but from the mode in. whih the 44-
siness had been conduded, it became necessary
that some other means should be adoped of exa-
mining the reed. The chauge which was pro_
posed by the present Bill to make was this, that
a person employed under the Linen Bard should
examine the seed imported instead of the Colledor
at the port, and that the latter should continue to
receive a proportion of the fee paid, and that the
remainder should be given to the Inspedor employ-
ed by the Linen Board; This was the objet of
the clause at present under consideration, but these
were two points of which he thought it his duty to
apprize the Committee. He begged leave to state,
he had the honour of being a Member of the Linen
Board for many years, and belonged to a part of the
country very much engaged in that manufadute.
He was sure that he felt as lively an interest in the
prosperity of that manufaCture as any Gentleman
could do, and he did feel that sonie change
was necessary in the mode of examining the
Flax-seed upon its Importation. So far he
spoke as a Member of the Linen Board, but he
must now speak in his official capacity. In
the first place, that duty, which was before dis-
charged by an Officer of the Crown, it was pro-
posed should be no longer performed by him. He
admitted, that the person who was entrusted with
that duty ought to be considered as a servant of the
Linen Board, which the Colledor certainly was not;
but at the same time that he observed this on the.
part of the iVlanufaCturer, it behoved him to observe
that the Crown would he deprived of its patronage,
by giving this duty to servants of the Linen Board,
instead of the Colledor. In stating this he wished
it to be distinctly understood as by no. means wil-
ring to sacrifice the interest of the iVlanufadurer
to the Patronage of the Crown, but he ho'pal
it would be found possible, at the same; time,
to take care of the interest ' of the Manufac-
turer, t rid not to negled the other objeft which
he had alluded to. With regard to that part
of the Bill which related to the receiving of
fees, he wished to state, that though he was in the
habits, not only of acquaintance, but of friendship,
with many.of the Gentlemen who were the objects
of this Bill, yet he could not help protesting against
the principle, that men who were no longer to be
employed in the discharge of a trust, and who were
supposed by the Bill to have acted iineroperly,
should in the same Bill be made the objedi of (co
use a word which was perfettlY familiar, because
it was connected with most of the meaiures in
the Country of which he was speaking) conpensa-
tion. The second point to which he triant to
allude was, the amount of the fees to be pad : he
felt it his duty to ()Ned to the levying any tax,
however small, upon the Trade of Ireland, for the
purpose of such compensation. If the fees paid
for the discharge of this duty were too large,
they ought to be diminished ; if they were not,
the person who performed all the duty ought to
have the whole of the emolument ; but he cer-
tainly should oppose the idea of one person doing
the duty, and another person receiving a proportion
of the emoluments ; and, therefore, he was bound to
oppose any unnecessary imposition on the 'Dade of
Leland for such a purpose, however small. Ile had
said, that he was in the habits of private friendship
with most of the Gentlemen who were the objects
of this Bill, but he would never sacrifice his public
duty to his private feelings, and, therefore, he thought
it necessary to make this statement to the Committee,
who, he had no doubt, would require further in_
formation before they proceeded thus to take this
patronage out of the hands of the Crown. But he
hoped -that a mode might be devised of accomplish_
ing both these object in a satisfadory manner. He
wished to avoid saying any thing that could hurt the
feelings of any person, and therefore it was a delicate
subject for him to speak upon ; but he could not be
satisfied with this Clause, and therefore should pro-
pose to fill it up in a way that would not render it
liable to the objections he had urged.
Sir GEORGE HILL said, he had been much
astonished at the statement which had been made by
the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER of Ireland,
and he was induced to suppose, by that statement,
that the Right Hon. Gentleman had not .read the
Law upon this subject, or that having read it, he
did not understand it. He had taken it for granted
that these officers, the Colledors, had been guilty
of negligence in the'discharge of their duty ; but of
this negligence there was not the slightest proof
before the House, and it was the duty of the CHAN-
CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER for Ireland, in his of-
fice, to proted these Collectors, who were Officers
of the Crown, who had faithfully and honestly dis-
charged their duty. This was the first time he had
ever heard a statement of this kind made against
persons in the employment of Government, without
any inquiry, any document, or any proof whatever
to establish the assertion. The Right Hon.Gentle_
man, the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER for
Ireland, had said, it was the duty of the Collectors
themselves to insped the seed before they branded
it. This was not the case : they were only bound
by law to with three persons to examine the qua-
lity of the seed, and make a certificate upon their
report; and until such examination has taken place,
the Coliedor is liable to a penalty of rol. if he
brands a hogshead of seed. This Bill, he said, pro-
posed to substitute, in the place of the Colledors,
an Officer only of the Linen Board. This, the
Finn. Member said, he disapproved, because he
thought the judgment of three persons better than
that of one ; and even this Bill, as a perfedion of
regulation, had recourse at last to the very mode
employed under the old Law, namely, that of swear-
ing persons to examine it. He thought it right to
apprize the Committee, that he was nearly related
to one Gentleman employed in this office of 2ollec-
tor, and he would take upon himself to say, it had
been faithfully and honestly discharged. Hetrusted
then, that the HouSe of Commons would not with-
out proof, or examination, take away the employ_
ment, and censure the condud of any persin cm-
ployed under the Crown ; for these reas,ns, he
moved, That the Chairman do report pro;ress.",
Mr. _FOSTER said, he should not take t, much
of the time Qt. the Committee, because . the C4AN.

,030140 t of the EXT/r2QUtk for Ireland had, by his
.statement, acknowledged some measure of this kind
vas necessary. By the Law of Ireland, ColleEtors
,sfere ordered to examine the Flax Seed imported,
antf•they were to receive for that examination 6d.
for .every hogshead. The Linen Board had no
'Offieer to inspeet the seed on its importation, but
.they had Inspeelors.in every Port who were brought
up to the business, and were thoroughly acquainted
with it. The immediate circumstances which led
him to introduce this Bill, he would state to the
'Committee. A very short time ago, 2000 hogsheads
of Flax Seed had been imported into Ireland, and,
upon examination there, it was ordered to be re-ex-
ported, as it Was bad, and unfit for use : this Seed was
imported into Ireland, and every hogshead of it was
examined, and branded as good ; the consequence
of which was extremely injurious to the Linen Ma-
nufafture, and it became necessary for the Linen
Board to do something upon the business, and they

sent their Inspedor into different parts of the Coun-
try, but all their efforts were unavailing, and the
greatest complaints were made by persons in the
Linen. Trade, of the injury they sustained by the
use of bad Seed. He did not mean to throw any
imputation on the charader of the Colleaors, be-
cause he believed they aced without any bad inser-
tion, but the fart was, they did not understand the
business, and they were obliged to employ interest-
ed persons, who certainly branded the hogsheads
without sufficient examination. He did not think it
right by this to take away the money from .the
Colledors, because they had not been guilty of any
intentional miscondud. The only object was to pro—
, tea the Linen Manufacture from the injurious con_
sequences which resulted from importing bad seed.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, that he never rose with more unpleasant feel-
ings to speak upon any subjea, because, he con_
fessed, he was not perfedly master of the question.
His Right Hon. Friend had called the attention of
the Committee to this subjea, in a way that en-
titled him to their gratitude ; it certainly was a
matter deserving of great consideration, to take
. away from Officers of the Crown, and to transfer
to Officers of a Private Board, a duty which the
former had long discharged. He did not pretend
to say, , that such a transfer was improper, he
only meant to observe, that some investigation.
ought to take place before it was made, and, there_
fore he wished that some preliminary inquiry should
be instituted, by which, a regular, legitimate and
parliamentary ground would be laid for their pro..
ceeding. It was proper that the House of Commons
should be apprised of thz reasons why the Officers of
the Crown should no longer continue to disTharge a
duty which had been entrusted to them so long,
and why it should be transferred to the super_
intendance of a private, but, at the satne time,
one of the most useful and respedable Boards
the United Kingdom. There was no intentional
delinquency imputed to the Colleaors, it was only
contended that they had discharged their duty im-
perfedly, or rather, that they had delegated it to
insufficient persons. Upon this subjea, he con-
fessed, he wished for more ample information : if
the allegation was well-founded, 'there certainly
was no ground for compensation, if, on the other
hand, there was no ground for the imputation on
their condud, it was not consistent with justice to
deprive them of their employments. =These
culties operated strongly on his mind, and, there-
fore, he was anxious that a further inquiry should
be instituted into the business.
Sir GEORGE HILL observed that the Col-
ledors were not bound to examine, but only to sum-
mon a Jury, who were sworn to examine.

Mr. FOSTER said, it was not the prat-Hee to
swear the persons who were summoned to examine.
He thought it necessary to state, in justification of
himself, after what had been said, that he held in
his hand a Resolution of the Linen Board of Ireland,
founded upon the Report of their Inspedor Gene-
ral, stating that a great
,quantity of bad Flax-seed
had been introduced into the Country, which had
been branded as good, which Resolution expressly
stated that a Bill should be offered to Parliament to
remedy the evil. Upon this Resolution the Bill
was fotinded, and he had no objeaion to the Gen-
tlemen on the Treasury Bench moulding it as they
pleased, so as the' Bill was suffered to pass.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, there was no necessity for the Right Hon.
Gentleman to say any thing in justification of his
own conduct, the Right Hon. Gentleman was pos_
sessed of information, which to him was • a solid
ground of proceeding. The House, however, was
not in possession of that information, and he thought
the better way would be to institute a previous in-
quiry, in order that they might be possessed of all
the information which could be obtained upon the
subjea. Perhaps the document from the Linen
Board might be all that would be necessary, but it
was necessary that the House should be in posses-
sion of it, as it might be on an early day, for .he
was desirous that the Bill should pass. With re-
spea to the Colledors, he thought, that by taking
away a part of their Duty in the way which was
proposed by this Bill, a legislative imputation of
neglea was thrown upon them.

Mr. FOSTER observed, that the Document al-
luded to might be immediately laid before the
House.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
that was not the regular way to lay papers before
the House; there must he an order made for the
purpose, and he thought it would be better for the
Committee to report progress, and ask leave to sit

again.
Mr. BERESFORD said, he admitted that much
bad FIAR-s'eed had found its way into the country,
but the badness'of it might arise from various causes
after it had been branded. The. Resolution of the
Linen Board alluded to by the Right. Hon. Gentle-
man (Mr. FOSTER) had been adopted immediately
upon the Report of the Inspedor General without
inquiry ; he trusted, however, that the House
would not follow the
,example of the Linen Board,
but allow sufficient time for inquiry. The Collec-
tors he knew were highly honourable men.
Mr. CORRY said, he did not charge any Collec-
tor with misconclua, but he contended that the Bill
itself, by depriving them of their duty, was a cen-
sure upon them,

Sir GEORGE HILL said, he understood the
Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. CogaY) to have pass
a severe censure upon the ColleCors. .
Mr. BERESFORD said, he thought there was
no occasion for hurrying forl,vard the present Billarsy
as all the Fiax-seed, wanted for the present ye
had been already imported, and the sowing of Flax-,
seed was -finished for the present season,
therefore, he thought
the Bill might be postponed till next year
without inconvenience.
Mr. FOSTER said, that more than half the guars'
City of Flax-seed used in sowing, could not be sow
till after the ist of May. It was necessary to passn
the Bill now, that it might attach upon Flax-seed
imported after the ist of June. He had .not charged
any Colledor with neglect of duty, but only stated
generally, that the Poor bad suffered by the intro'
duaion of bad seed.
