§ MR. CAUSTONI beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in reference to the notices sent to licensed dealers in plate with regard to the claiming of drawback, whether he intends to adhere strictly to the terms of the notice that all claims must be filled up and sent by post to Somerset House on or before tomorrow, otherwise no claim for drawback will be admitted; whether he is ware that the forms of request were received in Sheffield as late as Saturday last, and that considerable inconvenience has been occasioned to manufacturers and their employés to get the information together, and that it will be in many cases almost if not quite impossible to furnish the information by to-morrow?
§ *MR. GOSCHENOut of 14,000 cases there have only been three in which that point has been raised. I will see what 1288 can be done in the case of Sheffield, but I have no doubt that generally the order will work smoothly and successfully, and I will see what can be done in individual cases.
