REMARKS By Chap. 23, Sec. 20, and Chap. 24, Sec. 34, of a Statute made in the 12th year of the reign of Charles II.; also by Chap. 24, Sec. 5, of another Statute made in the 1st year of the reign of William and Mary, "Every six and thirty gallons of beer taken by the gauge, according to the standard ale quart kept in the exchequer, four whereof shall make the gallon, shall be returned by the Gauger, within the limits of the bills of mortality, for a barrel of beer; and every two and thirty gallons of ale, taken by the gauge, according to the same standard, shall be returned by the Gauger, within the said limits, for a barrel of ale." By Chap. 24, Sec. 5, of the last named Statute, "Every four and thirty gallons of beer or ale, whether strong or small, brewed out of the said limits, taken by the Gauger, according to the fore-mentioned standard, shall be returned by him for a barrel of beer or ale.” By Chap. 69, Sec. 12, of another Statute made in the 43rd year of the reign of George II., "Every thirty-six gallons of beer or ale brewed by the common brewers in Great Britain, whether within or without the weekly bills of mortality, taken according to the standard of the ale quart, four whereof shall make the gallon, remaining in the exchequer, shall be returned by the Gauger, for a barrel of beer or ale." By See. 14, of the same Statute, "No beer or ale brewed by the common Brewers in Great Britain, shall be sold by them at any other rate or quantity for the barrel than thirty-six gallons; and that nothing herein shall extend to alter the quantity to be returned as and for a barrel of beer or ale brewed by any victualler or retailer, or any person other than the common brewer; but the same shall remain as declared by 1 W. and M. Chap. 24. Sec. 5." Note 1. Here it may be observed, that the standard ale quart, kept in the exchequer, contains 70 cubic inches; and consequently the ale gallon is 282 cubic inches. 2. By this measure, Ale, Beer, and Porter are measured; and the computations in gauging these liquors, are made by it, in order to charge the Duty of Excise. 3. It may not be improper to observe, that if the area of any figure be found in square inches, by the following Problems, and divided by the cubic inches in a pint, a quart, a gallon, a firkin, &c. &c., the respective quotients will be the area of the figure in pints, quarts, gallons, firkins, &c. &c. 4. The content of any vessel may be found in pints, quarts, gallons, &c. &c. by dividing the content in cubic inches by the respective divi(See the foregoing and following Tables, for the cubic inches tu a vint, quart, gallon, firkin, &c. &c.) sors.

REMARKS. By Chap. 27, Sec. 17, of a Statute made in the 5th year of the reign of Queen Anne, it is enacted that, "Any round vessel, (commonly called a cylinder) having an even bottom, and being seven inches in diameter throughout, and six inches deep from the top of the inside to the bottom, or any vessel containing 231 cubic inches, shall be deemed a lawful wine gallon." By the same Statute it is also enacted, "that 63 such gallons, each consisting of 231 cubic inches, shall be deemed a hogshead; 126 such gallons a butt or pipe; and 252 such gallons a tun of wine." Note 1. By this measure all sorts of wines, spirits, distilled waters, cyder, perry, mead, verjuce, and vinegar, are measured; and Excise Officers make their computations by it, in gauging these liquors, in order to charge the duty. 2.

REMARKS. By Chap. 2, Sec. 7, of a Statute made in the 12th year of the reign of Queen Anne, and by Chap. 34, Sec. 4, of another Statute made in the 50th year of the reign of George III., it is enacted that, "Malt shall be charged by the Winchester bushel; and every round vessel with an even bottom, being made eighteen inches and a half in diameter throughout, and eight inches deep, shall be deemed a legal Winchester bushel." By Chap. 2, Sec. 17, of the 12th of Anne, it is enacted that," The Officers of the Excise shall take account of grain making into malt, by gauge only, and not by ac tually measuring it with a bushel."
