| Description | Letter from John Cockburn Ross, Convenor of the county of Ross, forwarding a copy of a minute passed at a General Meeting of the County, petitioning the Chancellor of the Exchequer to repeal a recent act of Parliament which imposed on Scottish barley the same rate of tax as imposed on English barley, on the dual grounds that such an act was in conflict with the Act of Union, and that Scottish barley was inferior to the English. Shandwick
