Leases for Corn Mills Act 1785

Words which may be omitted in the affidavit to be sworn by the factor of malt,

words which are to be inserted in the owner’s affidavit.

VII. And whereas as the law now stands no owner of malt brought for sale to the city of Dublin, by land carriage, is entitled to receive any bounty for the same, unless the factor who has sold the same, makes oath, that it was properly manufactured, well trodden, screened and cleansed from dirt and other impurities, whereby the said malt is obliged to be trodden, screened, and so forth, in the city of Dublin, and a great additional expence is thereby incurred: and whereas if words to the same effect were inferred in the owners affidavit, it is conceived it would better answer all the purposes of the present laws: be it therefore enacted, That from and after the twenty fourth of June next, the following words may be omitted in the form of the affidavit required to be sworn by the factor, in order to entitle the owners of malt brought by land carriage to Dublin, to receive the bounty, viz. properly manufactured, well trodden, screened, and cleaned from dirt, and other impurities, and that the following shall be inserted in the owners affidavit, viz. properly manufactured, well trodden before it was cold from the kiln, and well screened and cleaned from dirt, and other impurities.
