The hop-planters of the counties of Wor- 
cefter and Hereford have lately prefented a 
petition to the Houfe‘of Commons, ftating,

hops forms no inconfiderable part of the pub- 
lic revenue 5 tinat it amounted in the year 
Sox to the fum of 241,2271. 8s. 54d. and 
may, with the additional duty charged on 
that article, by an a& paffed in his prefent 
Majefty’s reign, be increafed to the fum of 
§00,000], in a plentiful year ; and that this 
fource of annual income to the State is alrea- 
dy confiderably injured, and may be much 
more fo, by the ufe.of a bitter called Qua/ffia, 
now ufed asa fubftitute for hops, and which 
is imported from South America, &c. The
