ABSTRACT

T h e laws respecting the woollen and wool trades having been so established in the year 1825, nothing was done in Parliament in either the year 1826 or 1827 to disturb them; but from the dissatisfaction apparent amongst the leading agriculturists, it became very evident, towards the close of 1827, that another session would not be allowed to pass over without some attempt to renew the tax on the importation of foreign wool.
