Additional Information. 



inhabitants of this kingdom be produced within the kingdom. There is another 

 cause which requires the interference of the Legislature ; which is, that the measure 

 by which lime is measured should be a regular double Winchester, which is, I 

 think, 12 inches deep and 24 inches in diameter, to be perpendicular on the in- 

 side; whereas the measure now used through all the interior is a measure about 

 12 inches in diameter at the top and about 24 inches at ihe bottom. By this means 

 the farmer is cheated in his measure very considerably, as lime is heap measure, 

 the same as coal. There should be an act to enforce a heavy penalty; the justices 

 at the Quarter Sessions should be empowered to send inspectors, (say the inspector 

 of bridges,) and examine the several measures at the kilns, and if convicted before 

 one magistrate, the person so offending should be punished.
