THE CASE OF THE Makers of QUILTS for BEDS only .

I. THAT depriving the Quilt-Makers of the Liberty of using Printed Callicoe Carpets , will be a Detriment to the Government , as to the Customs and Duties , and also to the Woollen Manufactures ; there being great Quantities of Norwich , Kidderminster , Kendal , and other Stuffs , used for the Backsides of Quilts ; besides abundance of Ordinary Wooll , which must otherwise be thrown away ; it being too short for Spinning , and fit for no other Use .

II. That the Callicoes used in making Quilts , are cut into square Pieces , and printed in Form of a Carpet , which renders them unfit for Cloaths or Garments of any kind : Neither can they be used in Houshold Furniture any otherways but in Quilts , being only fit for that Purpose .

III. That Linnen Cloths and Woollen Stuffs , are not proper for Quilts , the one being Cold and Heavy , and the Woollen will harbour Filth and Dirt , and be much of the same kind as Rugs are ; and not being capable of being clean'd so well as Callicoe Carpets , renders them altogether unfit for that Purpose : For the whole Design in having Quilts for Beds , is , to have them Light and Warm , and made of That which will clean often , and not harbour Filth and Dirt , as the Rugs used to do .

IV. Therefore , It is humbly prayed , That a Clause may be inserted in the said Bill , To preserve the Use and Wear of Printed Callicoe Carpets in Quilts for Beds only ; there being nothing so proper for that Use : The same being no-ways prejudicial to any of the Manufactures of this Kingdom , but rather an Encouragement ; and also imploys abundance of Poor in Working up the same .
