ptTBLIcAN's BILL.
On Sir T. TURTON'amotion, thatthe Publican's
Bill be committed,
Mr. 1). GIDDY said, it was one of the most foolish
and absurd Bills ever brought into the-House ; it was
unprecedented except in one instance, when Mr. Fox
had, at the instigation of his constituents,braught in
a similar Bill, though he laughed at it in every private
company. Mr. Giddy further observed, that pewter
pots were supposed to give a greater relish to porter ;
and, indeed, it had been lately discovered by bis coup-
tryman and friend, Sir H. Davy, that a galvanic in-
fluence was produced by drinking beer out ofpewter;
and it was right, said Mr. Giddy, that those who
drink this beverage, should have excited as many
agreeable sensations as possible. (A laugh.) The
Bill would also seriously affect the mining intertm
in Cornwall, and be the means &Throwing many per.
sons ow of employment.
Mr. WHITBREAD denied thit Mr. Fox had eves
treated the subject with levity, when he introduced*
Bill similar to the present. The real substante d •
the Hon. Gentleman's argument was, that he was
Cornish man, and therefore felt it incumbent whin
to defend and promote the use of pewter : butt*
it was right to consider, that as things stood at pees
sent, the publicans not only sustained a great anneal
loss by pot-stealing, but were placed in the tidied=
and irritating situation of buying their own pots dues
ir four times a year, or as often as they were stoker
melted, and re-manufactured. They now applied
not only to protect themselves from loss, but to era. ;
dicate this nursery of petty thievery. No agreement I
among themselves would be tffectual—rfor it one msa
sent out pots to please his customers, all die rat
would be obliged to conform. He (Mr. Wbitbread)l
confessed, be was strongly prejudised in favour of
this appeal of the publicans ; through them be en.
joyed most of the advantages u hich he possessed, Ai
therefore lie felt as much interested for them as the
Hon. Gentleman did for the tin mines : but mall, it.
was the first time he had ever heard of the Galva's,
sensations supposed to be communicated by drinking
porter nut of pewter ; and that able chemist, Sir H.
Davy, had better discover that roast beef acquired a
peculiar relish from being served up on pewter plate'
this would still more increase the produce of ihe
Cornish mines. (41 laugh.) He should be the
man who wished to diminish the consumptio* •
porter ; and he hoped the new information asps
best mode of drinking it, would increase the consume
tign next week, if it s ere only by way of experimmt,
slSir T. TURTQN declared, that the principal ab-
ject of his Bill was to prevent imposition in country
places, where the measures were in general shame.
fully deficient. The Bill, therefore, provided that
regular measures should be deposited in the vestry Of
every parish ; and when the publicans heard of his
intention, they applied to him, and stated theig
grievance. It was a fact which he had from goon
authority, that not leas than twenty thousand bar
and girls were employed in the stealing of
throughout the metropolis ; and even'
( wanes
[who had a frying-pan, could easily prevent detec-
tion. Were the Bits to pass, every family would hale
d
a pewter-pot, and the pewterers' Company would
have no reason to complain,
Mr. SHERIDAN expressed his surprise at the
manner in which the Hon. Gentleman had treated
this Bill. He had endeavoured to Lough, lend nett,
argue it out of the House ; but be (Mr. Sbefilan)
would at any time rather listen to the Hon. Geed&
*sari's re,toning than his-ridicule. Mr. Fos had 10P'
