Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Abstract of the Evidence Lately Taken in the House of Commons, Against the Orders in Council: Being a Summary of the Facts There Proved; Respecting the Present State of the Commerce and Manufacturers of the Country The following pages contain a plain and faithful, though a very concise abridgment of the important body of Evidence now before the House of Commons, against the Orders in Council. The original consists of 480 folio pages, and contains the examination of 82 Witnesses. A number of questions were unavoidably put to these witnesses, which had no tendency to illustrate the subject, and could, at the best, only lead them into matter of argument or opinion. It is the object of this abridgment to exhibit the matters of fact detailed in this long and painful inquiry. With respect to the arrangement, all the pains have not been taken, which a greater command of time might have afforded the means of bestowing; and in order to render it complete, much repetition would have been unavoidable, as the various heads of the inquiry were in many particulars necessarily connected together. But a few words may suffice to shew the reader the plan here pursued. The inquiry commenced with a very extensive proof of the present unexampled distresses in the various manufacturing districts. The state of the manufactures accordingly forms the first branch of the evidence; this is detailed in succession, not in the very order in which the witnesses were called, or the different kinds of manufactures were taken, but in a somewhat more convenient form.
