§ Viscount Goderichsaid, in presenting a Petition from a Mr. Williams, a Magistrate of Lee, in Kent, complaining of the consumption of ardent Spirits, and praying for its discouragement, and stating that the abolition of the Beer-duty would have no effect in that way;—that he did not agree with the worthy magistrate on this subject, but he had no objection to present the petition. In his opinion, throwing open the trade in Beer would tend very much to diminish the consumption of ardent Spirits.
