movement is to be made shortly among the Phi„
agriculturists to get up meetings to petition 17i
liament for a repeal of the malt-tax. At a meeting, he.
at Alresford, in the county of Southampton, a meraorilse
was adopted, to b 9 presented in a day or two to t
Commissioners of the Treasury, in which it is stated---st
"That your memorialists have long seen, with grey
concern, the privations of the labouring classes, 00 f
sioned by the high duty on malt, which deprives the°
that old English beverage—good wholesome beer, so oeci
cessary to their health, strength, and happiness, en,
which, being the production of their native soil,
much their birthright as their bread. tar
" That your memorialists cannot conceive a he'-•
case than that the honest and industrious labourers of the
country should be compelled to drink water when toiling
in the harvest field, under a scorching sun, from morning
till night.
" That the farmers are prevented from growinganti
malting Barley for their labourers, by having to pa the
heavy a tax, amounting to nearly 100 per cent. 00 ,14,
Barley so malted, and that the labourer has the raor"„
cation to see the Barley produced by his industry
sumed by animals, and himself and family compelled c°

" That the farmers would be much benefited by
able
greater consumption of Barley, the labourer more
and willing to perform his work, and all the industrl°o
classes made much more happy and comfortable.
" That all other taxes have been greatly redurL
during the 29 years of peace, but that the war-teef;
been continued on Malt, to the great injury of the flow
and labourer." ireds
The Government ought to grant the relief re(111 ,r,
