<HEAD>THE CASE OF THE <HI>Makers of Vinegar.</HI></HEAD>
<P>IN the Bill for an Additional Duty of Exci&s;e, there is a New Duty laid upon Vinegar, or Liquors prepared for Vinegar, which Duty &s;o laid, will prevent the making of Vinegar in <HI>England:</HI> For that the Liquor for making of Vinegar is drawn off from one Cask to another &s;everal times in a day, for Two Months together, and more, with great wa&s;te; So that to take an Accompt thereof, the Officer mu&s;t always continue in the Makers Hou&s;e, by which means the Makers will be forced to &s;hew their Art to every Officer; and the burthen will be &s;o great upon them, that they will not be able to follow their Trade: But if any per&s;ons do continue to make Vinegar, the Charge to Their Maje&s;ties, to take an Accompt, will in probability be as much as the Duty.</P>
<P>There never was any attempt to lay a Duty upon Liquor pre|pared for Vinegar, nor was there a Duty ever laid upon Vinegar when made, becau&s;e the Materials u&s;ed to make the &s;ame, Pays a great Duty to Their Maje&s;ties.</P>
<P>The Makers of Vinegar U&s;e Eager-Wine, Lees of Wine, and Beer Brewed purpo&s;ely by the Common Brewer.</P>
<P>Wine, when Imported, Pays a great Duty, and Eager-Wine is fit for no other U&s;e but to make Vinegar; and if the Merchant cannot Sell his Eager-Wine here, he will Export the &s;ame, and draw back near half the Duty, which will very much le&s;&s;en Their Maje&s;ties Revenue. All which the Makers of Vinegar are ready to make appear.</P>
