Mr Wilkinson produced invoices on the last two shipments of flour showing that the duty paid was £lO 5s and £lO 10s per ton respectively. Mr Wilkinson's challenge was that if they would agree to the abolition of the sliding scale duties and accept a straiglitout duty of £3 a ton for hour and the equivalent duty on wheat, he was prepared to drop altogether his agitation for a reduction in the duty.
