Petition Against Excise Duties On Cider And Perry
The London City petitioned the king to withhold assent to the excise bill taxing cyder and perry, arguing it threatens liberty, private homes, and property. The Lords debated the bill’s scope, penalties, and the spread of excise powers, with peers assailing the measure as unconstitutional and detrimental to public liberty.
