ADDRESS TO TFIF: IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT AND
TANNERS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND.
Donna, Jon 17, lan.

MT Leans AND GENTLIXEN
SINCE our Circular dated 25th of 11farch, which
was followed by the presentation of our PititiOSS respecting
cur anufacture of Crop Hides, or Sole Leather, ve under-
stand it is in your contemplation to abolish half the duty CO Lea.
thcr, therefore we have most respectfully taken the oppouttnity
to offer Memorials to the consideration of Parliament, befoil

such a measure becomes Law; and we now humbly beg leave to
submit to the wisdom of the Legislature, some further particu-
lars respecting our new process of Tanning Leather, with which
the world yet remains unacquainted, and Copies of several Let-
ters and Documents relative to the success of our discovery,
which we cotsider will be found not only of great importance,
but perfectly satisfactory, from the respectability of the parties
Vito corroborate the facts, whereby the Tanning Trade and Re-
vanue may both be materially promoted, if our process be intro-
duced into general practice.
For instance, suppose a common Tanner turns out 1,000 raw
hides, each weighing 601bs. per Annum, to average 401bs. each
when tanned (according to the advertisement of the Bermondsey
Committee in " The Times" of the 27th ult.) he pays £5OO duty,
or £9.50 if half the duty be continued. Whereas, we tan similar
tides in three months, making each weigh, on an average, Bibs.
li2avier, or one-sixth more weight, that is, 481bs. consequently
v-e then pay £6OO duty every quarter, or £lOO extra, or if half
t:-.e duty be repealed, £5O per quarter additional.
As to the benefits derivable by the Trade, they arc too evident
to need any comment, for they are surely better than a total
repeal of the duty, because the extra weight created (which is
the true criterion to establish the quality of leather) is worth
snore than the whole present duty, to say nothing of the interest
4.: money thus saved, as well as the advantages of repeating this
operation quarterly, instead of annually, according to the exist-
ing general practice, whereby several millions of Capital
would necessarily be liberated (during the pressure of the
times) and become applicable to other Commercial or Agricul-
tural purposes of relief, and many other material points, all of
general utility and importance to the Nation, which we could
satisfactorily explain before a Committee of your honourable
House, if permitted.
Wherefore we hope your honourable House will not repeal
half the duty upon Leather, without ordering some previous in-
suiry into the merits of our Process, whether it be expedient to
continue the ots {tut), upon our Yaw Process, and abolish half
the duty upon Tanners continuing the Otis SYSTEM, leaving
them at liberty, under certain regulations, to follow whichever
they may find most eligible—the rates of duties being deterrni-
nal.le by rum; but experience proves our Process better for the
Trade and Revenue to continue the ems) duty of 3d. per lb. and
enable your honourable House to repeal some other Tax, to the
a/RECT relief of his Majesty's subjects.
We have the honour to be,
141 y Lords and Gentlemen,
Your most obedient humble Servants,
BURRIDGE AND CO.
Janet Drumm' and Wittiass Ctvnt, both of Dorking, in the
'county of Surrey, Tanners, jointly and severally make oath th_t
they commenced tanning .eather, at Dorking aforesaid, on the
nth day of October last, upon a new Process, and that they did
(meta frig) tan five Crop Hides betweenthe 3Cith day of October,
aforesaid, and the Bth day of February instant, which weighed,
when raw and when tanned, respectively, for example :
Original raw Weights. Tanned Weights. Above raw Halves.
103 Pounds 65 Pounds 13i Pounds
89 ditto 54 ditto 91 ditto
98 ditto (0 ditto 11 ditto
93 ditto 58 ditto 111 ditto
94 ditto 58 ditto 11 ditto.
That the marks of the Weights of the same Hides correspond
with their original account, and that the several Weights an-
rexed against each Mille are true and just to the best Gf these
deponents' knowledge and belief.
