• . K2/AA . • ,OR. \ _ Mr. HUME alltic'.ecl in what he had said on a former a-•,1 observed that had belsgen aware of ativ j-ction, he world have brought doWn the Old Bailey 'Calendar, from which it would have been seen that the • prisoners who were comenitied by the Police Ma,gis traces, and were afteresatds convicted, did not bear that lilliP"rtihn • to those priTsonen who were . Committed tay the City Magistrates, and were afterwards convicted. From this it. woi4d.seem that the Police Magistrates- did not pa y'ilVit • the City' 'Magistrates did. He would•state that the Secietary of State fur the Home - Department bad found no fault with the motion when he submitted it to him a few days ago, except that he suggested the names of the Magistrates should not be required, but be did not press the objection. Mr. ASH RST thought, if the motion was acceded to, and if an imputation, should be cast upon any Magis trates, there would be no possibility of defending them. Mr. DENMAN expressed great astonishment that any objection shotild be offered to the Motion. If the unpaid; Magistrates were .aot antenable to any power but the House of Commons, why should their names be refused to be given sip connected with their Allagi:s teriel duties?. If their conduct seas not subject to in quiry; they would' become a nuisance to the country.. Let the Houselook at the Trespass Act, or the nume rous ones which had given power-to the Magistrates. pe hiMself yesterday witnessed a conviction which the Sewers Act imposed upon the Magisziates who pre. sided. It was simply an obstruction of the pavement. A man who descended from a coach near Doctors Com- Mons was accosted by a porter, its' attendance, who sup posed he required.to know where Doctors Commons was situated, or m i ssile Gentleman connected with Courts? While this conversation was carrying on, it person came isp'and represented' that the pot ter had offended against an Act cif ment. The law imposed a tine of £5; and in default of payment the delinquent might be sen tenced to t h ree months' imprisonment. When the case -was braid before the Magistrates ? they felt it to be ex ceedingly hard upon the individual who was shewn to ISia unmated the law, but they were bound to inflict a penalty; they did not, however, go to the full extent of that. penalty. if the Honourable Member for Aberdeen :hatraiked fer'returiis'of catunlitalse by ail the Magis 'iraieVihrriiigli4C England, 'he Would have been per 4ectly•jusiitied,instead of confining them to a few coun ties round•the metropolis, to see who the individuals ii*reiiho had • been convicted without Judge or Jury. NC (M). Denman) denied that any imputation bad been • cast upon the Magistrates of Surrey or Middleser. And *is there any difficulty, after what the House had wit nesed on Friday evening last, in obtaining defenders fOr i Mrsgistrates? could any doubt exist that the man in power would not meet with plenty of protectors in Parliament 2 The difficulty was in procuring protectors for the people , —(bear, hear). He was surprised to hear that the expenses,which would be incurred in obtaining the returns should be urged. Mr. H. SURNER persisted in his objection, and in sisted that the.M.rgittrites - of the country were under° i iontrOul. The Honourable and Learned Member who had last spoken knew it well ; he knew their conduct was liable to be brought forward and investigated in the King's Bench. Sir ft. HERON spoke in favour of the Motion. • • The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, it it was sug gestechthat airy abuse of the criminal law bad occur red, I then undcu'itertly an inq - Uiry ought to. be instituted— (Netir). 'He understood that the .Honourable Member for Aberdeen did not accuse any one of such abuse, but had merely moved for certain Returns respecting com mittals of Nlagistrates, with the•names of those Magis trates. He (We Attorney-General)*Would suggest,' that an inquiry shOuld be fiiseinstituted into the facts, and if it turned out that the inferences which had been drawn were untrue, then it would not be necessary to 1 portue the inquiry any further. BUt should the returns shevi that any abuse of authority had existed, then it would be for the Hcuse to say whether the names of the Magistrates should be brought forwaid. He would 't:u#est that the•Motic n might be modified in such a niabuer,.to answer the end proposed by the Honoura ble-blember for Aberdeen. • Mt. Secretary PEEL said, that the suggestion which bed' Seen OfFeie.l by his Right Honourable and Learned Friend .011 i had just *t down, wa's precisely the one which he (Mr. Secretary Peel) had offered to the Hon. Member for Aberdeen, when he mentioned his intention Of anbinicting a 'Motion on the subject to the House. 'Hejthought that a prima facie case had been made out 'by the Ilialourable Member (Mr. Hume). and therefore Amild not object-to the production of the Returns; however,` he Considered that the names of the Country Magistrates should not be given.. He should always . perceive these was a difference between the Stifendiary thestint 'Country Magistiates—(llear). oEnnspx said, after what had been stated by tlie . i ,,ltight Remit able Gentleman who had last ad " dresSekd the House, it WAS unnecessary to add anything triOre.ta elucidation of the subject. Ile would, hots ever, lake theliberty of saying, that there were no.Magis ttatit mint diligent nor snore anxious in the discharge of their Amy than thOse of Surrey. :Mr. 4.l,detman TIIOMP.SO thought that the evi . dike by ivbich ,Magistrates were guided in committing rt-soners ought also to be produced with the Returns, if it were intended to exonerate them front charges which Might be. brought forward. Mr. Alderman WOOD said it was no uncommon thing for Judges to complain at the Old Bailey of paltry'' Cases Coming before them. ' Mr. Secretary PEEL implbred the. House to suspend their judgment until the documents were before them,. as be Was lay persuaded that not the slightest imputa tiOn would be cast upon the Magistrates, for they, had performed their duty; and, he was persuaded that when the documents did appear, - there would be no"tharge against* them. • Mr—HUME agreed to the suggestions thrown mai by the Itight Honourable Gentknon; and',moved fur the Kett:it - as above stated, without inquiring the name 4 of the oomnsitting Magistrates. the: Motion was then put, and agreed to. '1 REDUCTION OF MISS. • Mr. HOBEIOUSE, in rising to•-prepose his motion! ! for the. Reduction of Taxes, observed; that Peededi on this OLC.ISIOII particularly bespeak the indulgence t the Hume. These were not weeds of course, but Wer prompted by sentiments which he unfeignedly felt, a the subject on which he was to 'treat' was one of vita importance to the country. Alifftnigh he should 'take; the opportunity• of commenting on. the' speech of the. •-• .• Right Hourruralfte Gentleman opposite. he thought it sighs to say that he participated in a great measure in • the dieliBlit and satisfaction with which that speech was received by the House; and that he viewed the Right Honourable Licutlemans views of liberal policy as Ule •{ .....-.- foundation of a listing fame. ut iti4renting.-to e jal& b down, luktN correctness a thq.iit' hOpies lieghott4 did not ...think..a Lille'. Honourab. Ge*tlernakhad satisfiefg Chi kistieretations of th, country as to: thejedrietien of uPIieTT dor The Right Hbhourahlet entre:Man might r ecollect that before he came into office, the Government of the country had departed from the ridiculous notion that the true riches of the nation were to be found in the wealth of the Treasury, and not in the wealth of the . peeple. . If the opinions contained in his Majesty's Speech were correct, everything was now prosperous; commerce was going oa in a manner which could not have been anticipated ; rear improvements had taken place in agriculture; and the revenue of the.couptri was increasing. , If this were the case, was it-Kiva stillth continue that systewi' which had been created in a season of .pressure.• Hi might, in passing, just allude to the. ported: upon which the agricultural interest had been represented ttj be in so prosperous a condition. That iltsprovement had no doubt arisen from the present high price of corn, Now he (Mr. Hobhouse) believed that this principle was fallacious, and those which had been advocated on both sides of'the House, that high prices would prove the great depression of that interest, were more sound. He would not, at this time, follow out that subject, as the principle had been proved by . his lamented friend, Mr. Ricardo, and by the Right Honourable Gentleman opposite himself. But he might say, that as long as the Coin Bill lasted, prices would always be fluctuating: the consumer would either be paying too much, or the producer gaining too little. Supposing, however, that such prosperity did exist, was it owing, as the Hon. Mover of the Address to the King stated, to the " work 'of superior beings ?" Did the Hon. Gentleman mean to say that his Majesty's Ministers were " superior beings?" or did he rather intend thus to express the result df na tural cause'? To what did the. Chancellor of the Ex chequer attribute this prosperity? Chiefly to the Em peror Francis of Austria 'and the House of Commons. The Emperor had certainly contributed much towards the flourishing condition of the country by agreeing to pay 2,500,000/. out of twenty-one millions and a half. And as to the House of Commons, " the calumniated and vilified House,7 he (Mr. Hobhouse) thought the Right. Honourable Gentleman should have stated that it was not this florise of Commons, but a House of Commons on ahich a Chancellor had imposed a system which it was the great object of the present Chancellor to abrogate and put down. Supposing the House had any merit, that merit must be exceeded if, after the people had borne with patience arid inng suffering bur thens and oppressions, greater than airy other nation had been destined to endure, and after many bad actu ally died in the struggle, the same tax which prevailed in the time of war should, atter the country had re mained in peace for a period of nine years, still continue in force. Was this the *fret ing of the paternal Parlia ment? He thought that the Chancellor of the Exche quer gave a better account of the causes of this pro sperity in his speech of last year, when he said that "the increasing commerce and increasing consumption of the country, arose from the increasing ease and corn-, fort of the people." The parliament had nothing to do with all this. If one good 'principle could heti-Iced to Parliament, two good principle: could be traced to the people. Neither aas any praise due to the Government: they had thrust their hands so long into the pockets of the people, that it was actually not known to whom the property belonged. This was-his view, and it was justified flour - looking at the remission of taxes which had taken place since the burthens of the French war were imposed. The people were told that further relief froin taxation was impossible. It was not the people who held that doctrine—it was the Marquis of Londonderry—it was Mr. Vansittart—they were the King's' Ministers who de. Glared it; but fortunately the event falsified those asser tions; relief had been afforded, and front, the growing prosperity of the country he hoped stitl, further relief would result. He hoped that even that night would not pass over Without further reduction of tasation,beieg resolved upon. Ministers ought net, however, .to take to themselves all the credit fur the increased.prosperity of the country. It had been well said by an Honour able Friend'near him, that to its own native healthful ness and vigour did the country owe 'As recovery. It. was the people who had began to recover, and they might in their present state be compared to a man borne down by accuroulated.preessire, from. whork some part of his buethen was removed,' in consequence. of Oki); he began to breathe again, and feel that he existed,. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said in his statement,7 that he was not merely providint for the current yea:,: but also for the three that are to succeed it. .hie bited the scare of 'taxation for eachjfear, up tO from which it was is clear as noon slay that. no.fiiitheri relief was contemplated than what be . hail ann.ounced4 The Honourable Gentleman then proceeded to congrau!

' He (Mr. Hobhouse) objected to the plans of the 44ht,:lionoty able Gentleman; because the' included no measure for further relieving the people. The Right Honourable Gentleman spread his calculations over .a surfaCe'of four years, from which he expected a surplpi of four and upwards; brit he did not candidly State that two millions and atialf of these were . to be derived from the repayment of the Austrian Lean. The state ment was certainly done artisfereent, that, is, (added the Honourable Member) like' an 'artist.' • Vidncting these two millions and a half, the surplus for those four years would be only 1,93.5,1491. lii estimeting the loss to the Revenue by the reductions contemplated, the Right 6 1Ionourable.Gentlerniut spread his calculations over a period of three years and a half, and took the amount r . at,3,717,0001; but instead of conimencitigliis.system of liberal politY by the reductioni•itludeu to, he ought Irk to have lessened the burthen of taxation. It was said the 'people Were happy—but they were not sensible of :the - beneli(cbriterred upon them-- • t ►• Mete tee, di bona norini. They evinced tliktiriseitude for the propmeclrelief bye : petitioning, within ten* days after it was sumounced,:forl, tut Cher and fur different relief. The' Honourable Ger a- 1 ' 'alemaa here contended that the suiplus - oUght to be ap-r : plied rather to the reduction of theVissessed Texe.s thaw, in'the way, proposed by die Chancellor of the-Excite.' quer—that the diminution of the duty on silk, whic6, would amount to 462,0001. would be producrive of nal' relief to the poorer's:lt:abet. The people had paid within the last 30 . yeariasOleaa I..llitmawo billnms of millions of pounds, a sum so great that the mind was incapable of t 7 ;:r ~ ..-. conCCiyin i 4 after that pay mentisf two billions ol4ctil ton, Of Rvtl . s, sari" the petoplCwere-eittOod sorir itlief ; and yet after. tilt pa meat of those: Of' . uaillions of pouials 4:the people, the Chiticelltir of ihe,Rlfcheqiier aAcs wh at. Ought to te done akitlr s thris'or- Otis of four millions, as if the obvious ohjectltell it ought to be applied was not'the reductnin The Honourable Gentleman then proceeded to content: . that the sum intended to be appropriited filiiitf ing of new Chusches-(500,000I.) ought to be .appliesiaa . the reduction of. .taxation, AO_ gird the , case of Mary la-bonne Buish,..to prove that new Qhttfclies. were not attractive, nor had they the . effect of diminishing the parochial rates t. for although sp s marty Churchea. had: been lately erected in the Parish of St.:lllary-latonne, find after. the expenditure of a million of 'Money in. that .way, the yalue, of pews in the Parish Church had tiehlid; and•thepariah Tates had been increased_ 15 per cent.— He diet efore toasted the" Right Haaburable Gentleman aiocild abandon his proposed appropriation of half a million to the building of churches, ant! apply it to the .reduction of the Assessed Taxes. There would be paid by the. People in Taxes in. the year 1827, no less than 55,745,900/. OF that sum five millions were in Assessed Taxes, which they felt much more grievously than the other fifty millions, the payment of which was made insensibly. But of all the grievances at ising out of 'tax ation, none were felt so galling and acute as surcharges.' The Honourable Gentleman tiled proceeded to contend; that op other grounds the reduction of the Assesse4 Taxes ought to he the first object tote considered. Amongst these the House and Windbw Taxes were by far the most objectionable and 'oppressive. The reduction of fifty per ce::t. of the Window Tax last year had failed in producing any benefit, for it was proved by.Peiitiont which he held in his hand, that the House• Tax had (he might assume in consequence) increased. The pressure of the House Tax might be conceived from the scale of charge. Houses of the annual value - of 51. and under 20/. paid Is. 6d. in the pound ; those from 201. to 401. paid 2s. 3d. and those of 401. and upwards paid 2s. 10d. In many instances 180 per cent. on their value was paid to House and Window Taxes. There was a whole street in Bath, the average annual value of each house in which was 321.. and each paid iu King's Taxes 34/. per annum. Notwithstanding the reduction of fifty per cent. effected last Session, the Window Tax still amounted to the sum 01 1,205,0001. being 'within a small sum of its whole, amount in the year 1798—namely, 1,478,0001. He would contend that the whole Tax ought to have been reduced, instead of being diminished by .fifty per cent. which allowed the whole scaffolding of the Tax to re main. It would be always better to reduce an entire Tax than a part; and that was rendered apparent by the mode in which the Salt Tax had Alien treated, and which had failed in producing any of the desirable con sequences anticipated from it. Without dwelling upon theinquisitorial character of the Window Tax, there were other objections to it—such as the privation of light and air—which it inflicted upon the people ; but no grievance was more severe than the system of sur charges to which he had already referred; and in addi tion, nothing could be more unequal than the pressure of the 'fax. He felt therefore justified in demanding , the repeal of the whole of the Window Tax (1,205,0000 Indeed, he should have felt justified in demanding the repeal of the whole Assessed Taxes, which amounted to 5,000,0001. and which could be effected by the abolition of that which was called a Sinking Fund, did he not know that many Hon. Members world deem the first stone thrown'at that system an'attack upon public credit. The repeal . of the House Tax, so far from injuring the Revenue, would be productive of benefit by the increase of building that would result from it, and consequently the increased produce of the duty upon timber, slates, and other building materials; One consequence of les sening the.annual charge on houstswould bean improve ment in the condition of the people; persons who now lived in lodgings would then take houses. Although the Window Tax had been lessened twenty per cent. within the last three•quarters of.a ,year, the House Tax' had increased 100,0001. The Honourable Member for Yorkshire had expressed himself in opposition to the manner. in which,t4 Wiwi duties were intended to be repealed, and be bad in, the•same way to object to. the rei.eal of the duty on coals. The. whole of the lacer amounted to no more than 100,000/. and he contended, that after the article had come to the consumer through the, kegler, : the shipper, and the petty vender, the coal: burner himself did not get 6d. per chaldron by it. The amount.of the. Window Duties being taken at 1,205t,900/.- and the other duties proposed,,by the Government to be .remitted, at 7140901., would, .malre a total saving or reduction of taxes to the Public of 1,917,000/. of which 1 4 295,000/. was all he had 'added to the - Chancellor of the. Exchequer's. own project of ,reduction. To effect this put pose he wou ld take the whole pf the Aus trian repayment not yet applied, , itod,he ;should also propose, that instead of the saving being spread over the whole of the four next years,' he thought it ought all to- be rendered available for the relief of taxation next year. The Right Honourable•Gentleroan's pro ket t wO objectionable, because it propou nded a budget Jot four years instead of for one. Tho ugh this ,was a Gou-Sind, be thought it would. he making a very im proper.oseor it, to applY,Bso,ooo/, of it on the repairs pflyrodeor Castle, whieh might betlene by the sale of 144triptan, .or U.ichmond Park.

With all these savings, he was still something short of the 2,500,005/. which however, he thought could be supplied out of the reduc tion proposed by the Honourable Member (Mr. Ma brly), of Malt Duties, amounting to 200,0001. Once :fur'all, he did not wish to touch the Sinking Fund. To the House, and particularly the Country Gentlemen, who came forward so efficiently when their interests and property erre in danger from excessive taxation, he would apply these remarks; more particularly because these taxes affected their tenantry and the whole corn monity. For what had been done by Ministers Ire .be. lieved the people were grateful; but the benefit was partial, and nothing like that which had been antici pated by the Public ; and lie M ould now tell Ministers, that unless they came forward with some greater re, .lief tg the pourer classes of society, they would soon feel the popularity which they flattered themselves they had seemed, was n 9 more than a fleeting shadow.
