in
their
present
state,
than
any
other,
and
would
almost
justify,
on
their
part,
if
any
thing
can
jus-
tify,
the
very
mode
of
procedure,
which
I
have
been
exposing
to
reprobation.
The
contents
of
however,
executing
a
deed
of
assignment
of
the
lease, to
be
held
by
the
Brewer,
as
security
;
together
with
a
bond
in
judgment,
on
the
whole
of his
furniture,
and
other
properly,
as
another
gua-
rantee
for
a
large
additional
sum,
for
which
the
man
lias
received
no
value,
but
which
is
considered
necessary
to
prevent
all
chance
of
loss
to
the
Brewer.
With
the
little
remaining
money,
which
the
poor
Publican
may
have
left
of
that,
from
which
he
has
paid
for
the
fixtures
of
the
house,
and-
as
deposit
for
the
lease,
he
lias
to
defray
the
whole
of
the
expenses
of
drawing
up
the
lease,
bond,
and
all
oilier
ne-
cessary
documents,
and
after
he
has
paid,
besides,
half
the
charges
of
the
broker,
for
his
valuation,
the
same
proportion
of
the
fees
of
the
Broad
Cooper,
and
Guagers,
&c,
(servants
of
the
Brewer)
which
fees
usually
amount,
as
the
incomers
share,
to
the
sum
of
three
or
four
guineas
to
each
j
and
in
addition
to
which,
he
is
ex-
pected
to
be
at
half
the
expense
of
furnishing
the.
whole
of
the
party
with
a
handsome
dinner
and
plenty
of
Wine,
he
is
allowed
to
remain
in
quiet
possession.
If his
payments
do
not
happen
to
be
altogether
regular
in
amount,
the
Broad
Cooper,
or
some
other
servant
of
the
Brewer,
enters
the
house,
without
any
notice,
de-
mands
the
key
of
the
cellar,
and
proceeds
to
take
an
account
of
his
stock
of
beer,
in
order
to
ascertain
if
he
has
paid
according
to
the
quantity
he
has
sold.
If
the
Brewers
choose
to
lower
the
price
of
their
commodity,
a
notice
is
sent
round
to
each
of
their
Publicans,
directing
them
immediately
to
lower
the
prices
of
their
beer
as
well,
no
matter
what
stock
they
may
have
on
hand
at
the
time,
and
woe
be
to
him, that
hesitates
to
do
so.
If
the
con-
sumption
of
beer
happens
to
fall off,
without
reference
to
what
the
cause
may
be,
or
however
deserving
the
man,
a
representation
is
made
to
the
Brewer
and
his
partners,
in
full
committee,
by
the
managing
clerk,
(whose
favour,
be
it
remarked,
is
of
the
utmost
consequence,
and
his
own
individual
importance
not
less
so),
