In the year 16S8. as appears from the journals of the English house of common.-. ;u petitions were presented to that jfcsrfetnbly from Folkestone and !

An act was passed forbidding the exportation of glass of Irish manufacture, and a curiously penned clause was inserted in this act. which, with some precisioji. provided not merely that no glass of ! Irish manufacture was to be exported, but that Irish glass was not to be laden cn any horse or carriage with intent to te so exported. This unduittrial legislation legisla-tion completely achieved its malignant purposed There was within the last few years at Waterford a silent witness of the ruin of its glass tradf an old, disused dis-used building which went by its former r.ame, "the Glass Manufactory." |
