Reduction of Tea Duty Sparks Liverpool Meeting in 1846
A large Liverpool gathering at the Sessions House on Chapel Street urged speedy reduction of tea duty. Mayor G. H. Lawrance opened the session, with MPs and merchants present. Letters from Lord Sandon and Mr. Entwistle urged moderation, while speakers argued that lowering tea duties would boost consumption and commerce, aid social welfare, and not ruin revenue. A memorial to the government and a pledge to press Parliament were adopted.
