Printed by William Rose. An act in five sections. Announces the abolishment of duties on spirits as of 13 June 1797. Any distillery proprietors that do not meet the criteria set forth in section one of the act will be required to obtain a license and pay a certain amount per gallon depending on the capacity and content of each distillery. Furthermore, the act states that there will be a penalty of a fine equal to the amount for a license of six months, for anyone who engages in distilling without a license to do so.
