§ Lord Archibald Hamilton,anxious that on the part of Scotland every possible information should be laid before the committee appointed to inquire into what difference should be allowed in the duty payable on malt made from Scotch barley, and that made from English barley, rose pursuant to notice to move, that four gents, whom he should name be further added to that committee. The noble Lord then moved, that Sir John Sinclair be added to it; agreed to: also Mr. Kinnaird, also Sir William Erskine; agreed to: also Sir William Pulteney. But here it was observed, that the hon. Baronet's name stood already among those who had been appointed on the committee.
§ Sir Robert Buxtonthought that England was as much interested in the consideration of this question as Scotland could be:he should therefore move to-morrow (not being now prepared with the names), that 4 gents, from the latter part of G. Britain be further added to the committee.
§ Mr. Kinnairdobserved, that the addition proposed by his noble, friend was not intended as increasing the number of voters, but the mass of information that might be brought before the committee.
