As I understand case, mens Jardine Matheson & Co. complain and feel aggrieved that the licence fee smiled was chamber raised without sufficient notice, they having purchased certain premises, plant, etc. under the impression that there would be no change in the amount of the fee.

They further state that most of the spirit they distil is intended for exportation and that the fee amounts to less than a tax on the export industry trace of the Colony.

On the other hand, you point out that the fee is justified by the quantity distilled and that it may be serious to heavily interfere with the success of their undertaking!
