EAST INDIA CIRCUITOUS TRADE.
On moving the second reading of the East India Circuitous Trade Bill,
The End of Buckinghamshireobserved,
282
that this measure, was a consequence of the Act of last session, opening the direct trade to India to the merchants of this country; it being distinctly understood at the time of passing the Act, that the circutious trade to India would also be opened to the British merchants, and a clause referring to this object having also been introduced into that Act. This measure, therefore, was the result of a distinct understanding to that effect, with the merchants on the one hand, and the East India Company on the other; and under these circumstances, he presumed, there could be no objection to it.
The Bill was read a second time, and committed for to-morrow.
