IRISH DISTILLERIES.
The Earl of DARNLEY expressed his anxiety to call the atten-
tion of their Lordships to a subject of great importance, respect-
ing whisk he had intended to have made a motion, had he seen
some Noble I.ords on the other side in their places. He observed
by the votes of the House of Commons, that there was a Bill in
progress in that House, allowing the Irish Distilleries again to
work, which he thought would, if passed into a law, be produc-
tive of the most ruinous consequences to the Esitish Empire, and
to Ireland in particular; he therefore gave this timely notice of
his intention to give it every possible opposition, if it came up to
their Lordships House. •
