The bill TO admit warehouse corn 10 entry, on
payment OF duty of les. per quarter, (about 20
cents per bushel,) had passed the House of Com
mons. 1t supported by MIR. Huskisson who
said,
That he entirely concurred with the Hon. Baro-
net who had just spoken, that the object of the
proposed measure to benefit the public gener
ally, without any reference 10 the loss or gain of
individual spectators. With this view he was
disposed 10 adhere TO the proposed duty OF los be-
cause he was satisfied that the imposition of such
duty would not prevent the owner of the bonded
corn from bringing il into the market, and the
son obvious, they would not run the risk of
keeping it until next harvest when the ports might
be opened. Next, with respect 10 the objection
of the Honorable Member for Norfolk, that the

against the inordnate introduction of American
corn, and 10 remove all fears upon that head, he
was willing, should the average OF Canada corn iin-
ported into this country within the next FIVE years
exceed 100000 quarters, to introduce some mea-
sure TO prevent the evil which the Hon. Member
anticipated. He knew that many imaginary fears

time the Hon. Member delivered his sentiments up
on this subject, that he would make himself little

no exception is made, should serve as a cover for

Mr. Huskisson proposed clause by way of rider
