§ Lord Althorpmoved for leave to bring in a Bill for the better prevention of the smuggling of Whiskey and Malt in Ireland. The noble Lord observed, that offences against the revenue ought rather to be punished by penalties, in the shape of fine, than proceeded against as misdemeanours, as they were at present. The law now in operation had also another defect;—these offences could only be dealt with in the higher Courts whereas he wished to make them liable to be tried at the Petty Sessions.—Leave given.
