Hppendix to the Third Report from the 
Selo? Committee appointed 10 take 
‘ 
into consideration the present high 
price of Corn. : i 
THE committee beg leave to 
lay before the house, as an appen- 
dix to their last report, an account 
of the experiments made by the 
vittualling office upon ~ different 
kinds of mixed bread, under the 
directions of the privy council, and 
of this committee; they have not 
thought it necessary to add to the’ 
account the experiments made 
by the Bosrd of Agriculture, as 
they understand that it is the ins 
tention of that board to communi- 
cate that account to the public, to- 
gether with their observations there- 
upon. 
The committee have proceeded 
to take into further consideration 
different branches of this extensive 
subjeét. Being aware, however, 
that some of ‘them contain matter 
which ought not to be made tlie 
object of regulation, except upon 
mature deliberation, and a clear 
conviction of necessity, they have 
thought it most consistent with 
their duty, to defer making any 
further report till after the recess 3 
but they beg leave to add to this 
appendix, a few papers which have 
beén contmunicated to them; nor 
as intimating any opinion whatso- 
ever, as to the different obserya- 
tions and suggestions contained in 
these papers, but with a view of | 
drawing attention to the principal 
points of which it may be’ neces. 
sary for the committee to resumé 
the consideration. .
