Ta Meetinci the Committee of TANNERS
L a•ld others, held ai. the Hatr-Moon Tavern, Graerciaurch-
street, Lominn,.nn the 224 January, 1813,
It was unanimously rewlved,

That from the documents and information nbtalectl by this
Comntittee, it appeirs, the Double ax upon Leather does net
answer as a measure of finance, as It does not amount, for Eng-
land and Wal 1, in the gross for the last sit months, ending s;
sth day of January last, to one third more than the Old Tax fur
the corresponeing six months in the last y..ar.
That from t'te Tanners not being able to sell their goods at a
price to pay the additional duty, and replace their stock, the
trade and the supply of leather is diminishecimore than ono third,
and that the great dinsinudon of the supply, and the consequent
eomparatively small advance of tl:e price, is a full proof that nei-
ther the goods not the consumers can bear the tax, and etat the
Tanners art! injurei!, not by the loss upon their stock only, but
together with the C wrier, the Shoemaker, &c. ice. by the ditui-
uttion of their trade.

'l' hat notwithstanding the Dluble Tax proves unproluctive, It
is highly neces.ary to insure iti itnni:diate repeal, that all in-
terested in the Leather Trade, who 'have not already done so,
immediately meet, and publicly exprtss their sentiments upon it ;
and the Committee trust not any district will omit to transmit
their Petition to their respective Representatives in Parliament,
on or before the tO;la of next month; on which day the General
Meeting of the Trade will be held at the London Tavern.
Signed by Order of the Convnittee,
ISER. DREW, Secretary.
