DECT: 23:— Fuel,

The eaftern parts of the county are ſupplied with coal {rom Stainmore, Blackburton, and Ingleton, in Yorkſhire, but in other parts the moſt common fuel is peat-

It is a queſtion deſerving the conſideration of the Le-

giſlature, whether the duty of coal, carried coaftwiſe, might not in certain diſtricts be taken of, with great ad- vantage to the ſtate. The value of the improvements in agriculture and manufactures which would attend ſuch a meaſure, in counties ill ſupplied with fuel, cannot be eſti- mated, but it is preſumed that it would very far exceed the loſs ſuſtained by the removal.
