HC Deb 01 June 1840 vol 54 c779

Mr. Labouchere moved the Order of the Day for resuming the adjourned debate on the question, that the petition of Mr. Hercules Bradshaw concerning the manufacture of sugar from beetroot be referred to a Select Committee. The right hon. Gentleman said, not having been in the House when the learned Member for Dublin moved for a Committee on the claim of Mr. Bradshaw for compensation for loss sustained by the levying of the duty upon the manufacture of beetroot into sugar, he begged now to state that a more groundless claim he never heard of; for what, reason had Mr. Bradshaw to conclude that the Government would allow him to manufacture the sugar free of duty, when such heavy duties were levied on sugar for a revenue, and on foreign sugar for the protection of our colonial sugar.

Mr. E. Tennent

thought Mr. Bradshaw's claim for compensation was a just one.

Mr. O'Connell

said, the Government had allowed Mr. Bradshaw to go on for more than a year and a-half, and then suddenly came upon him; decidedly there was a case for inquiry at all events, and he should press his motion for a committee.

The House divided—Ayes 71; Noes 91: Majority 20.
