The are-wed reason with the Ministry for wishing tihe reienl of the act (f 17:36. was to raise sup plies for supporting the war t hich the Kinag was then carrying on, in league with the Queen of Hungary. again-t. France. The historian thus explains the. repeal of the act. "The exigency was press inn and it was hard to find out a fund that coild supply it timeit enough for the pur poses ofgovernient. An alteration, there fore, of the diuties uplon spirituous liquors ws thoiht of. it wa n au tangerous er pedient &c," "This act (reptenling the iluty on liqors) its the Ilone of Lords, met Witlh Ri tian tnual and vicorous oppo sition."

But they conuended that the gov ernment ought to avail itself of the pas .iois n hieh it could not restrain, ant that the operations of the wacr depended upon its success." Here then we have the true etuse' of the repeal of the duty upon spir ittmu, liptiors. given by the Hierorian him <;elf.
