In 1804 the consumption had fallen to 34,657 tuns, and the duties to l,026,488/.LCXclusive of French wines. t In 1826 the duty was reduced on French mnes to 6s. old wine measure, or 7s. 3Jd. the imperial gallon. This was followed by a consumption the following three years, that increased the revenue 9000/. a year more than it had been at the high duty. Wine, too, was allowed to bo imported in packages of any size. The reduction of revenue this year was owing to the allowance for stock on hand. t The duty on French wine further reduced, and as well on all wines, except Capo wine, llxod at 5s. 6d. the im])orial gallon, to which 5 iier cent, was afterwards added. Tlio alteration of duty on Capo did not take place until 1831, but it was raised 44. per gallon.
