Excerpt from The Asiatic Journal and Monthly Register for British India and Its Dependencies, Vol. 26: July to December 1828 The celebrated commutation act of 1784 by no means annuls any of the provisions to which your committee have referred. On the contrary, it makes further provisions (as far a regards the Company's modes of sale) for securing to the public cheap teas. It tells them expressly, that it is just and reasonable, that they should contribute their utmost endeavours for securing to the public the full benefit which will arise from an immediate and permanent reduction of prices. Since the year 1784, tea is the subject of no less than fourteen sututes, in not one of which 1s there a syllable tending to repeal the provisions previously enacted for the security of the public. The principal acts regulating the ad'airs of the east-india Company are the two last dimers; that is, the statutes of 1793 and of 1819. 111. First of these makes no specific mention of the tea trade, except in so far as it confirms, with trifling and valueleas exceptions, the whole monopoly as it stood before the passing of the act which, in law and reason, is surely a confirmation of what was enacted for the ad. Vantage of the public, as much as of what was enacted against it; that is, in favour of the East India Company. In the last charter, the monopoly of the tea trade, and the exclusive privilege of trading to the dominions of the Emperor of China, are left untouched to the East. India Company. The open intercourse with other countries of the East, and in all commodities, tea excepted, which were conceded to the nation in this case, called for express provisions in favour of the east-india company: they are accordrngly pro. Vided by the 2d and sth sections of the act. In the first of these it is provided, that die monopoly shall be exercised conformably to former acts, not repealed in the present, and, among such repealed acts, those securing cheap teas to the public are most unquestionably not included, nor could they be so, without a most flagrant neglect of its duty on the part of the Legislature, or what is worse, without supposing. A collusion between it and the east-india Company to defraud the public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
