§ COLONEL NOLANasked Mr. Attorney General, If it is legal to extract the spirits from sherry or other wine which has paid Duty without paying a fresh Duty on the spirit so extracted?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir HENRY JAMES)This is not a subject to which I have paid much attention; but I understand from the Inland Revenue that the Duty to be paid on the import of wine is a Wine Duty only; and no one can distil for the purpose of obtaining spirits without obtaining the permission of the Excise, and also paying another Duty.
