Leases for Corn Mills Act 1785

There shall be paid for carriage by land, canal, and coast ways of oatmeal to Dublin, the same hounty for each cwt. as is payable on one barrel of oats.

IV. And whereas a barrel of oats produces, in general, not more than one hundred weight of oatmeal, and it is just and reasonable, and would induce a great saving of expence to the farmer, that the carriage of the produce of oats should be entitled to equal encouragement as the carriage of oats in grain: be it therefore enacted by the authority aforesaid, That from and after the passing of this act, there shall be paid for the carriage by land, canal, and coastways respectively, of oatmeal to the city of Dublin, the same amount of bounty for each one hundred weight thereof, as is now by law payable for the bounty on such carriage of one barrel of oats respectively.
