Proceedings of the House of Commons
respecting the High Price of CORN.

Veneris, II die Decembris, 1795.

RESOLUTION.

RESOLVED, Nemine Contradicente,

THAT, in Consequence of the high Price and defi-
cient Supply of Wheat, it is expedient to adopt such Measures
as may be practicable for diminishing the Consumption thereof,
during the Continuance of the present Pressure, and for intro-

AGREEMENT.

WE, the undersigned, impressed with a Sense of the Evils
which may be experienced by His Majesty's Subjects, in Conse-
quence of the deficient Supply of Wheat, unless timely and
effectual Measures are taken to reduce the Consumption thereof,
within such Limits as may prevent the Pressure of actual Scar-
city previous to the next Harvest, and may secure, as far as
possible, the necessary Subsistence of the People of this King-
dom,
