Mt. HARRISON wilked to know, whether this

ties. be obferved; the pdifons dealing in that article,
were under fevers hardthips, in confiquence of their
batley being often tweeted by dripping, and (sizings
of thaw and rain, and alto by other accidents, which
were frequently taken, or pretended by the Excite-
man to be taken; for ililegsl wetting ; and this belief,
fworn before the Menne% &boded them to the
heavy penalty of aooL for each ofen.a. If a ciente
of appeal. therefore, had hitherto been omitted, under
there cireurnitances, it was necaary that the delta
Mould be fupplied.
Mr. 8. BOURN replied, that this bill was ear
ally in the fame words as the bill of lea year ; but
be was not aware, at ppretest, of any objection to tech
a clanfe as that d; and he added, that, Gould

Mr. 'PATTERSON fupported the objeaions made
by Mr. Harrifon s obterving, that the maltfter was
neimpletely under the lath of the exeifemen, who had

• Mr. ROSE Wetted, that the dealers in malt were
not under the lafh of the Excifemen, but of the Mai
giArates. There was no branch of the revenue in
which there were fo many frauds, and fo difficult to
be deeded,
i The ATTORNEY QENERAL charted, thaw
etoogb throe hardthips might havi been experienced
by particular individuals, yet it giotowell known that
the very circumaance now comp ained of was a molt
abundant Coerce of frauda upon the revenue. Tb,'
pretences of Coop, raid, and other accidents, feldonk
turned out, upon examination, to be any other than
frauds attempted on the revenue. He believed he
roe:oilseed the cafe alluded to by Mr. Patterfop, and
if he recollefted sight, the party was only fubjefted
to one mitigated penalty ; as it appeared thilt the
fraud was attempted by a fervent, without the appal,
rent privity of the mailer. It was, however, rather
fmsular. that the fervent fhould wantonly. and of
blebtem a e cor d. have ventured on a fraud, in which.
as a fervent, he could have had no inured. Upon
the whole, it feldom failed to be made out to the
fatisfaetion of juries. that what was called tweeting,
turned out to be an eaual wetting of the malt ; but,
at the fame time, he was ready to Admit, that it may
be right for the parties to have the power of appeal.
The cleats were then agreed to, and the report
ordered to be received to-nmrow.
AUDITOR OF SIONIO,I3ILO. AND FIRST VOID OF Tilt

Mr. FOX rofe, agreeably to the notice he gave
yellerday, to move for leave to bring in a bill to re•
TLIOVe certain doubts which had ariCen as to the com-
patibility of the offices of Auditor of the Exchequer
and Firft Lord of the Treafury, (landing in the fame

cs3n4cltrable dogkota pn this point teemed to have
beeh entertained, though the folidity or them, he
thought, admitted of great difpure. if the two offi-
ces were Co completely incompatible with each other,
he would with to know on what ground it WAS etla-
blifhed that the Lords of the Treafury had the ap-
pointment of the Auditor of the Exchequer, in
other words, the appointment, as the Mauer. of thefe
doubts would reprtfent it, of the check on theoi-
(elves ? On looking into the precedents on this point.
he prefumed, there was no perfnn who would beiieve
that an office of the value and importance of Auditor
of the Exchequer was really and completely given
its for an appointment to the other. The felt of
thele prelidents occurred in the reign of (image 1.
