§ The gross revenue for Customs and Excise in the United Kingdom was,—
| In 1835–7 | £117,333,000 |
| 1838–40 | 116,996,000 |
| Decrease | £337,000 |
§ The total Excise duties decreased, in the same period, from 47,117,000l. to 46,610,000l. Had the Excise and Customs revenue increased with the population, it would have produced 122,025,000l., or 4,692,000l. more, by which amount it virtually fell in the latter period.
