" (Chairman). " Do you sell any beer ? " " No. " " Do you sell any tea ? " " Yes. " " What is the proportion of tea that you use to coffee?" (Mr. Humphreys') " About one third. " " What do you charge for a cup of tea ? " " The trade generally, where they sell coffee at l$d. A cup, charge 2d. For tea. " (Mr. Villiers). "Is there any sugar with the tea and coffee?" "Yes. " (Mr. Ewart). " You have petitioned for a reduction of the duties on sugar and coffee ? " " (Mr. Hare). " We have. " ( Chairma...n). " Have the prices of coffee lately increased, and has that induced you to raise your prices ?" " They have very much increased : 35 per cent. " " Has there within the last month been an increase in the general charge for coffee in coffee houses ? " " It commences this very day. " " Has there been any meeting lately of the coffee-house keepers, with a view of raising the charge for coffee ? " " Yes ; last week. " " What was the result ? " " The result was, that it was unanimously agreed upon at a public meeting, that the trade could no longer afford, from the increased price of coffee and sugar, to serve the lower classes at a penny a cup, and there- fore that they must, if they did not alter the price, shut up their houses; and therefore, the lower priced coffee-house keepers solicited a meeting of the trade generally, to see if they could not agree to raising the price, otherwise, the pro- bability is, that during the next month a great number of houses will be compelled to close.
