"This is not a housekeeper's list from the grocer and corn merchant, It is simply a Matement made last math before the Royal Commission Whiskey, by Mr. Arthur, John Tedder, Chief Inspector of Excise, of the kind of materials used in the manufacture of the spirit in the United Kingdom.

** It is's largo list, Mr. Tedder," remarked Mr. Laurence N. Guillemard, C.B, the deputy chairman of the Board of Jalaud Revenue, in a tone that might almost have been taken for surprise," and I conclude that there is no legal restriction as to the materials' from which the spirit can be manufactured."

THE WEATHER.

Mr. Tedder agreed that Mr. Guillemards conclusion was correct. Mr. Tedder is a man of middle age, with thick iron grey moustache, essentially business-like and methodical." He bed come to the proceidings armed with a ́great pùmbri of documents and statistics on -whisky,' his papers being piled:

an 4 square

The following report is from Mr. F. G. Fig table, at which he sits, before the' row of severe. ly sedate scientific and medical gentlemen of Director of the Hongkong Observatory:-

On the 6th at 13.35 -The barometer has whom the Commission is chiefy composed. -In-the-centre-of-this-row-of-Commissionerstallen rapidly in E.-Japan-owing-to-the-depras: is the distinguished figure of Lord James of slon which is moving towards N.E. in the Hereford, with its crown of thin silver hair, neighbourhood of Hakodate. ́o Mr. Guillemard, who examines the witnesses, Pressure has increased over China, particular- sils at his lordship's right hand. He is aly in the North. It is highest over N. China, clean shaven man, and has the appearance of and still relatively low over S.W. Chiba and

Tangking. being the youngest member of the Commis- sion. Before himilies a list of fifty or more. leading questions to put to the witness, whom he examines with all the experience of counsel, The proceedings are taking place in the largest public 10ɔm at the Westminster Palace Hotel, a.spacious and lofty apartment with large windows mainly curtained with lace, tables covered with rich dark blue cloth, a cheary fire, and bright models in copper and silver and gians of pot and patent stills.

It is to these models that the witness turns now and again to explais certain points that ere raised, and, in addition, the Commissioners are furnishes with sketches' and plans with which they are able to follow still more closely the technical parts of his evidence.

WHAT THE COMMISSIÒN WANTS 10 Kaow.

The character of Mr. Tedder's évidence was indicated by Mr. Guillemard at the opening of the proceedings. The sort of information the Committee want to hear as a preliminary step, be said, is:-

1. What the different spirite are;

2. What materials they are made from ; 3. What are the processes of manufacture; and

4. Taking the finished product, what super vision is exercised by the Excise from the manufacture right through to the consumer.........

The questions which were then put to Mr Tedder were such as enabled him to follow these proposed lines and evidence pretty closely.

Millions of figures were the beginning of the evidence. Fifty millions of gallons of proof spirit being, it was elicited, the quantity made in a year, and 17.03,000 the amount of duty paid. Then the witness gave the number of distilleries:

+

England.~8 (3 pol patent still and 5 patent),

• Scotland,—150 (137 pot still, 3 pɔ and patent, and to patent),

Irsiand.-27 (18 pat still, 7 pat and patent, and a patent)............

As to the materials used in the manufacture, which are quoted at the Ieginning of this re- „port, the fall swing farther information was given as to the quantities employed, namelý ;--*

- Mali, 1,143,970 quarters,

Unmalted grain, 1136,075 quarter. Other materials, 15,034 cwl. ́Molasses, 1,065,5′9 cwb. From mall; Mr. Tedder said, the spirit pro- duced is 16 gallons per quarter, from tomalt. ed grain 20 gallons. from, sage, tapinca, and rice 74 gallons per.cwt, from sugar to gallon, from molasses 6, and from glucose, over 8 -gallons
