IKrRoDUcrIos or Coal INTO ENcLAsD.-When
this fuel was first introduced into use in England,
the prejudice against it 30 strong that the
Commons petitioned the crown to prohibit the
"noxous " fuel. A royal proclamation having
failed to abate the growing nuisance, commission
was issued to ascertain who burned coal within
the city and its neighborhood, and to punis h them
by fine for the first offence, and by demolition of
their furnaces il they persisted in ,ransgression.
A law was at length passed making it capital
offence to burn coal within the city OF London,
and only permitting it to be used in the FORCES in
the vicinity. Among the records in the Tower,
Mr.. Astle found document importing that in the
time of Edward l.. man had been tried, convicted
and executed, for the crime Of burning coal in
London. 1t took three centuries entirely to eface
this prejudice.
