The tariffs resulted in large-scale smuggling. Those predisposed toward disorder used the tariffs as an excuse for riots and political unrest.] ++ An Act to Amend… Accounts of increase and Diminution of Public Salaries, Pensions, and Allowances shall by annually laid before Parliament… granting and paying such Salaries, Pensions, and Allowances... ++ An Act to authorize the further Advance of Money… Encouragement of the Fisheries in Ireland. ++ An Act to grant certain Duties, in Scotland, upon Wash and Spirits made from Corn or Grain, and upon Licenses for making and keeping Stills; and to regulate the Distillation of such Spirits for Home Consumption, and for better preventing the private Distillation in Scotland, until the Tenth Day of November One thousand eight hundred and twenty-four. ++ An Act to allow until the Tenth Day of November One thousand eight hundred and twenty-four, the Exportation of Spirits distilled from Corn for Home Consumption in Scotland, to Parts beyond Seas, without Payment of the Duty of Excise Chargeable thereon. ++ An act to defray the Charge of the Pay, Cloathing, and contingent Expences and Disembodied Militia… ++ An Act to repeal… Dispatch of the Business in the Court of King’s Bench… ++ An Act to defray, until the Twenty-fifth Day of June One thousand eight hundred and twenty-three, the Charge of the Pay and Clothing of the Militia in Ireland… ++ An Act to provide for the more effectual Punishment of certain Offences, by Imprisonment with hard Labour. ++ An Act for the more convenient and effectual registering in Ireland Deeds executed in Great Britain. ++ An Act to regulate the Manufacture and Sale of scorched or roasted Corn, Peas, Beans, or Parsnips, and of Cocoa Paste, Broma, and other Mixtures of Cocoa. ++ An Act to repeal the Rates, Duties, and Taxes payable in respect to Fire Hearths and Windows in Ireland; and to exempt certain Persons from the Tax on Dogs.
