Merchants, &c. licensed, who shall purchase sound corn, &c. where usually bought or sold in this kingdom, and bring the same to Dublin, by land carriage, and shall sell the same in Dublin, or export it from thence, performing requisites to be done by persons bringing flour, or so much as requisite, and making the alterations herein,
shall receive the same bounty from the place purchased at, as if brought from the lands where the same grew, or was made.

IX. And whereas it will tend to the advancement of agriculture to encourage merchants and considerable dealers in corn, to enter largely into the purchase thereof: be it enacted by the authority aforesaid, That if any merchant or merchants, or other dealers, licensed as herein after mentioned, shall purchase by commission or otherwise, any quantity of sound, clean, well saved, merchantable corn, wheat, rye, meslin, barley, bere, oats, or oatmeal, in any publick market, or other place where corn is usually bought or sold in this kingdom, and shall bring, or cause the same to be brought to the city of Dublin, by land carriage, canal, or inland navigation, or both, and shall sell, or cause the same to be sold in the said city of Dublin, or exported from thence upon performing the requisites required by the laws now in force to be done and performed by the persons now bringing flour to the city of Dublin, by land or inland navigation to entitle them to the payment of the premiums or bounties by law given thereon, or so much of such requisites as the case may require, substituting the market or place as aforesaid, where the corn, grain, or oatmeal was bought, for the mill where the flour was ground, and changing such other words and phrases in the form of the affidavit to reconcile the difference between corn and flour as may be deemed necessary by the commissioners of his Majesty’s revenue, or any three of them, such merchant or merchants, dealer or dealers shall receive the same bounties on such corn, wheat, rye, meslin, barley, bere, oats, or oatmeal, from the market town, or other place where the same was purchased, as any person or persons would, if he, she, or they had brought the same to the said city of Dublin, from the lands on which the same grew or was made, any law to the contrary thereof in any wise notwithstanding.
