Additional Information. 



malt, I think, is deficient, and requires an alteration. After the barley has been 

 in the cistern a proper time, (not less than forty- eight hours) so that it may imbibe 

 a sufficient quantity of water, it is then put into a frame for gauging, and when that 

 process is over, and the duty ascertained, by protracting the process afterwards, is 

 an injury to the revenue, and also to the raalster. If the malt-maker (after the 

 gauge is taken by the exciseman) had liberty to follow his own ideas in making the 

 malt, there would be, most certainly, nearly one-third more malt made in the season 

 than by the present protracted process, and it would be of a better quality ; as some

 of summer, which greatly injures it,
