Mr Keswick referred to the Distillery the produce of which had been taxed $3,000. This was equal to nearly seven per cent, on the cost of the whole cóngarn ; $38,000 was paid for it. Ho questioned whether with such a fee it could be worked profitably. It was only an speriment. An & matter of pulley, it was not wise, he said, to tax eo beavily such undertakings as these. The Governor said the papers had been most carefully considered. So dourishing would the bustuem of the concern be that they would not feel the $2,000.
