§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERsaid, that he intended to lay on 1060 the Table an amended Copy of his Financial Resolutions, so that when they came to be discussed hon. Gentlemen might not be surprised if they observed certain points of difference. The amendments would be found to relate to secondary matters. The first was upon the 6th Resolution—that relating to the duty on Chicory—and consisted in striking out the words referring to the Channel Islands. The second was upon the 7th Resolution, and limited the Retail Spirit Licences to Great Britain, excluding Ireland. The third was an amendment of little consequence in the 8th Resolution, which dealt with refreshment houses; and the fourth was an additional Resolution for legalizing a practice which had long prevailed with great convenience and advantage to the poorer classes of the people, both in rural districts and in large towns—namely, the selling of very small beer at 1½d. a quart without a licence. That practice had been found to be illegal, and he proposed to legalize it, imposing a low licence duty of five shillings.
