ear, begged to esteem the hem* that a number of rega•
laden. had bets entered into in the year 181$, which
had the effect of putting as end to any extortion which
had existed before that period. To satisfy the house oa
this subject, be begged to more for a copy of the regu-
lations made by the Commissioners of the /tabour.
Sir La/FON said that the boatmen were formerly

The motion was then agreed to.

the petition, and from Mr. Carew,
Mr. BERNAL observed, that the bill introduced on
this subject he his Hon. Friend (Mr. Beneet) was high-
ly objectionable as far as it affected vetted interests. It
went to compel the Magistrates, ander certala provi-
des., to grant an unlimited Dasher of Semmes.
Mr. Alderman SSIITH also spoke *pima the Bill al-
bided to ity the last Speaker.
Mr. LY ITLETON suggested the propriety of intro-
ducing • elapse ie the Bill, encouraging thesaleof Beer

After a few words from Colossi Taxeren and Sir I.
Corns.
Mr. MA RRYATT spoke agaisst the Bill as it affected
the vested interests of brewers.
Mr. HUME spoke in favor of the Bill. Ile approved
of it because it tended to break dowel monopoly ; teed hip
saw no good reason why the Beer Trade should not be
thrown open to competition.
ilr. GEORGE lAMB spoke in favour of the Bill.
Mr. BROUGHAM admitted there was much difficulty
in the question. but he thought some means might be
devised, by which the monopoly might be destroyed
without materially injuring the interests of private i;:li-
vidnals. He did not feel any alarm at the increase of
public houses. He did not see that she increase of
public been would teed to the encouragement of up.
pling. aay more than pluitig an idditional number of
aliases and stags upon a table would tend to increase
the quantity of liquor drank at that table. He thongbt
the Beer Trade should 'mopes like the Bread Trade.
Mr. BENNET defended the Bill. He bad, however,
brought it forward. rather with a view to the diacussion
of the subject than in the hope of carrying his proposed
measure. The discussion of it, however, would chew
the country magistrates that they had, in a pest degree,
the means of remedying the evil. In Wiltshire, the
magistrates. whenever a public 11001141 got into the hamts
of a brewer, opened another house en the neighbour-
, hood. The consequence was, that in Wiltshire the beer
was generally of a good quality. At Portsmo'tb, Lynn,
, Brighton, and St. Albans, most of the public-henna
were+ in the heeds of brewers sad persrns connected
with the trade. But Ise really thought that, next to his
Majesty's Boy, eement. the ottject mostdifficulf or attack
r in that House, was the beer trade. He expected to find
all the brewers and maltsters arrayed against his. He
would consent to give up the clans* compelling Megis•
trades to licence. This he would do, in the hope of car-
rying some part of his measure. His object was to put
the present scoeto into a state of discipline witsoat in-
terfering with private property. He trusted the Masa
would allow the Bill to be read a second time, and
*attails of it might them be fully settled iu a Com.

15111 r. 11U11 E said, that la Seotlaeil the trade *asunder
no restriction but that of good character.
