NAPIER.
This;day.
It is stated here that no special private intimation was received relative to the Beor Duty, but that the merchants «nd brewers who got rid of their stocks did so because of the Hon. Mr Whi taker's statement in the Legislative Council. He is reported in Hansard to have said " I am afraid that my lion, friend's (Col. Whitmore) beer will also have to bear taxation, as well as his property; the matter is under consideration." This, however, will explain how it was known 'more than 12 hours before the Financial Statement was delivered here that the tax would be sixpence per gallon.
