Duke of Bedford asks S.W.'s opinion on the bill to prohibit grain being used by distilleries. Brewers are said to be favourable. Is this self interest? It will be very bad for the agricultural interest. Had thought of calling a county meeting. Suggests asking the Magistrates their opinion at Quarter Sessions.
