However that may be, while Irish and Scotch whisky aro clearly distinguishable from one another, the proanet of the patent still make in Ireland is unt to be distinguished from that made in Scotland or ova in London; therefore, if the spirit produced by the paleut still is to be cognized as Irish or Scotch whisky nocording to the plans whers it is made, the terms Irish and Soytch as applied to whisky cease to bave Buy meaning.

Janus Dewar and Dr. Tatleek have been toy years drinking "Cambus," a spirit made by patent still and largely from maize. This they arank as "Sentch whisky"; but their having done so goes no way towards proving that the public had done so, because both there witnesses obtain the spirit direct from the distillery as 0. matter of indulgence by the maker. It was suid that this "Cambus" spirit was sold as "whisky" in one public-house fa Glasgow, and that the fact would be prayed; but no one was called to prove it. No evidence was given on which I could find that pare patent still spirit, whether made from maize of malt, had" hrou kedve among the public as "whisky," though in the trade

such spirit has been variously known as grain spirit," "grain whisky," and "graine." Wells' sample, 20 per cent. wes invoiced as Patent still spirit by the makers to the bleaders, who sold it to Wolls as "Scotch whisky, after mixing it with a very little pot still spirit. Though I find that patent still spirit alone is not "whisky," there is evidence Lufure as the, when ized with a considerab proportion of pot still spirit or whisky derivel from molted barley, such mixture has long bean sold to and accepted by the public in immense and jucreasing quantities as "whisky" indeed, many of the most hargely advertised and popular makes of potable spirits are of this character. and contain, I have lesson to believe, proportion of pas still very considerable
