§ Mr. Attwoodwished, 566 before the House went into a Committee, to ask at what time the bill for imposing the new Wine Duties would be brought forward. At the present moment those duties were collected—he would say illegally collected—without the sanction of Parliament. He hoped, that if it were only to save appearances, Ministers would allow their edicts to be registered.
§ Lord Althorpsaid, that every person acquainted with Treasury business must be aware, that it was the constant practice, he would not say it was strictly regular, to collect the duties as soon as the Resolutions for imposing them had been reported.
