Scope and content
Petition (39 names) by the "cultivators of the soil and growers of wool" in the hundred of Newcastle, co. Glam., to the House of Commons, protesting against the importation of 26,799,367 bushels of foreign corn in 1818, duty free, and of 13 million pounds of foreign wool in three quarters of a year, at a duty of a halfpenny and a fraction per pound, when the petitioners are paying probably 30% taxes on everything they can grow. They pray for a committee of inquiry, and duties on the imports to bring their cost up to that of "the productions of the soil of the United Kingdom". Several of the signatories have the first name or the family name/patronymic 'David', Lord Ogmore's mother's maiden name.
