One was from the Inhabitants of the City of Quebec, and the others were from Hampshire and Hertford, in North America, all which he laid upon the table of the House. After some consultation, informalities were discovered in the reddens from the Counties of Hampshire and Hertford, but the Quebec Petition was accepted. The LORD CHANCELLOR then moved the House to go into a Committee on the BB enabling the Judges to open the Assizes on the day after that specified in the• Commissions fir holding the same. Amendments were proposed by the Noble and Learned Lord, and adopted by their Lordships. The Re port was immediately made, and the amended Bill ordered to be printed for the use of the House.— Adjourned. ITO USE OF COMMONS. Mr. JAMES HUNTER BLAIR presented a Petition from the Landholders of the County of Wigton, in Scotland, com plaining of Agricultural Dbtress, and praying relief.—Laid on the table and ordered to be printed. Colonel DAVIES moved for Returns of the total Expense of collecting the Excise up to January 1822, distinguishing the West India Docks and the Tower. He also moved for similar Returns for Ireland.—Ordered. Mr. HUME moved for Accounts of the application of X 40,480, granted upon g eneral warrants for the service of the Militia, together with th Names of the Officers of Counties by whom - the money had been received, for the last year. Ordered. The lion. Member also moved for Returns of the Names of Places where there were Barracks for soldiers, distinguishing the temporal y from the permanent Barracks; together withthe names and salaries of Officers attached to each, and the expense of the whok, distinguishing any money laid out in repairs, up to the Sth January, 1822.—Ordered. Mr. RICARDO moved for Returns of the Weekly Supply of Wheat at the Corte Market in Mark-lane, distinguishing foreign from British wheat, for the last year. Also for similar Returns for the two pteeedin7 years.—Ordered. Mr. Al A HENLEY gave notice of a motion for Thursday, the 14th March, for an Inquiry into the nate (lithe Public Accounts. Mr. HUME said he had been requested by an individual, named Robert Gourley, to present his Petition to that Hons.. Ile stated that similar Petitions bad been presented from him on the 11th July, 1820, and the 27th June, 1821. He stated that he had resided in Upper Canada for several years, and he wished to call the attention of the House to the present situation of the colonists there. He was of opinion that, under a dif ferent system, these colonies, which were now a great charge, might be maintained, not only free of expense to this country, but be made-productWe of a revenue, under proper manage ment. The point to which he called t he more particular atten tion of the House was the manner in which the waste land in Canada was disposed of. In the neighlwuring districts of Ame rica the land was sold at so much an acre, and last year this sale produced upwards of E 2,000,000 dollars ; whilst in Canada the distribution of land in the same time cost this Government a round sum. A great objection lay to the manner in which the land was portioned out. In most places large intervening tracks were left totally unpcopled, whilst the emigrants were scattered about, and there being no villages,:they were unable to give each other that support which was necessary to all colonies. The consequences of this mismanagement were strongly marked by the contrast which Canada presented with the neighl*uring dis tricts. A line was drawn between tippet Canida and the Pro- vinces of the United States and though the mode of cultivation was alike, yet upon the British aide the land was of small value and thinly peopled, whilst on the other there was a dense popu lation, and the land was five or six times more valuable. This state of things was attributable to the existing laws. The - revi-, lion of these laws was one of the prayers of this Petition. Peti tioner also called the attention of the House to the mode in which the Government of Canada was administered ; and he as serted that if some alteration was not made in• these respects, Canada, in ten years hence, would not be a dependency on Great Britain. He suggested that it was better to make it the interest of the colonies to remain subject to this country, than be here after obliged, at a great expense, to retain them. The Hon. Member said the Petition contained many other observations worthy the attention of this House, and as, upon reading it over, he found that it contained nothing objectionable, he would move that it be brought up.—The Petition was laid upon the table. HAWKERS AND PEDLARS ACT. Mr. IIU3IE, seeing the Hun. Secretary of the Trea sury in his place, said he would take that Opportu nity of moving for certain returns connected with the Board of Hawkers and Pedlars, and Hackney Coach Licenses, to the production of which he expected there would be no objection. He would state very shot tly what was the object of his motion. One great purpose which he had in view by the prodUction of these papers, was to spew to the Public, that even in this very small establishment, the Board for managing these licenses, there was apparent the greatest neglect of economy .with regard to the collection of the Re venue. He referred the House to the Report of the Committee of Finance of 1797, in which it was stated that the Office of Hawkers and Pedlars Licenses was one of great expense and little utility. It was there recommended, that it .hould be entirely done away with, and its duties transferred to the Stamp Office, to be executed by distributors appointed by them, with the same allowance of poundage as in other cases.— The Report stated that this transfer could be safely made, foe that in ten years only one contested case came before the Commissioners. Another Report was made in the same year upon the Board of Hackney Coach Licenses, and it was recommended that the duties of that Board should be also trans ferred to the Stamp Office. The concluding words of that Report were— , . In Whichever way Parlia ment would reform this, the present expenditure would admit of the mist material retrenihment." If the suggestion a that Committee had been attended to, a great saving would be made. Instead of that, him ever, the two Offices were thrown into one. The persons . wing psn formed no services to the Peblic. the total Revenue. collected by these offices amottoted to 8,5,7541. which, if calsuLatel at au nesse a . 93461. for collecting it, woula gire a result 0(16 per cent. The duties on sage -coaches, which were more difficult of collection, amounted to 256,5911. and the expense attending their collection amounted but to 67001. a year. He asserted that if these things were Permitted,'neither the Revenue nor the country could prosper. The Ho nourable Member then proceeded to state, that with regard to the thirty country Inspectors of Hawkers and Pedlars, he had ascertained that they had for the greater part sinecures in the places where they were stationed. One. of these was said to be stationed at Coventry, but he lived in fact at Birmingham. In Hampshire the situation was filled by a Clergyman, who never was called Upon to. issue a licenie. Another individual was said 'to be stationed at Plymouth, wh. was the near relation of a Noble Lord, but he did not reside there—ant, in fact, there Was no instance of an application to him. Another individual was in a state of insanity, and had been ' so when he was ap pointed to the office. He would not, however, fatigue. the House .by going through more details, but he would state generally that all the appointments were madehy the Lords of the Treasury, and not by the Commissioners, who were the best judges 'of petunia fit to fill the situations. In most cases they were given to persons to whom their Lordships were friendly.— But surely, if it was important to give facilities to the taking out of licenses by placing iistributor in vari ous parts of the country, at was fit that theie distri= butors should be stationed hi all the large towns.— 'This, however, was not the case. There was not one in Sheffield, or nearer to it than York, which was 50 miles diltant. There ,wets' not one at Manchester, whilst one was stationed at Leek, in Staffordshire.— In Hampshire, where the' distributor should be sta tioned at Southampton, he resided at Christchtirch. He could name several Other, places where the placing of these distributors was ecpially inconvenient. lie contended that all their duties could be performed by the agents of the Stamp Office. He saw no difference between issuing licenses to sellers of lace,and that of issuing licenses to pedlais and hawkers. If the Com missionera could collect the coal duties, he saw' no reason why they could not also collect those payable by hawkers and pedlars. He contended that the Hackney-coach Office could not be defended on the ground of its being an Office of Police as well as Re venue, for it rarely happened that complaints against hackney-coachmen were brought there to be heard. Perhaps this might be accounted for by their sitting only one day in the week. He mentioned a case within his own knowledge, of a person making a complaint there, who was put off to the next Fri day, when he was told that the Board would then be sitting,' and they would give him redress. Under such circumstances he was warranted in complaining that there were five Commissioners in these offices, whose situations were mere sinecures. He pressed upon the Honie the necessity of attending to the Re : ports of the Committee in. 1797, and of transferring to the Stamp Office all their duties. It was most pre posterous to be paying 16 per cent. upon the net re ceipt.of the hackney-coach duties, and 21 per cent. upon the hawkers and pedlars' licenses. He was sure Ministers were not aware of the expense .of these offices, and that When the papers were presented they would be taken as much by surprise as the House.— He trusted, however, that they would feel it their duty to adopt some measures upon this subject. If they neglected to do so, he wished to take this op portunity of giving notice, that he would himself, When the papers were laid:opbri the table, move fdr a Committee to incplire hoar - far the expenses of these offices might be diminished. The Hon. Member con cluded by moving for Accounts of the Establishment of the Offices for managing the Hawkers and Pedlars Licenses,' and the Hackney-coach Duties, for the year 1822, together with the names, offices, and salaries of the different Officers belonging to the same, with 'their allowances of house, or house-rent, by whom. appointed, and what was the nature olthe'aecutities which they had given. Mr. LUSHINGTON said • he had no objection to produce these papers. He agreed with the Honour. able Member as to the expense of these offices ; but the. Hon. Member had understated the amount of revenue which these duties produced. The net pro. duce of the duties on hawkers licenses and*hackney coaches was considerably more nosh than in 1797. The increase was entirely attributable to the exertionfi of those insane Inspectors *whom the Icon. Member had been representing as entirely useless. - What proved this was, that the increase was wholly in the department of the hawkers and pedlars' licenses, and not in the hackney-coach duties. The Hon. Member,, by confining himself to the Report of the Committee 1 797 • • 18 -1 of 179 i, had overlooked what was done in 18lbovitt regard to these o ffi ces. At thatlitne the subject' . Was taken up by Parliament, but instead of abolishing the offices, aq increase of salaries to the Inspectors in the country was recommended. Since then additional poweri had been givenir c ) the commissioner h now pos.,esseJ a bene ficial contr,oill 1 over.,ll times, fur many of the shopkeepers were cons erted into pedlars. h. was, diet-garb; not thie that the inr crease was atttibotable to the actisrfty of the Inspec. tors. Wittrtegard to the Hackney-coach Offite being an office of Police, he contendetrthat all that class of complaints which might be brought before them; would' be as well disposed of at any of the Police Offices in London or Westminster, and thus agreat saving would be made. Sir WILLIAM DE CRESPIGN'( obseried, that it would be convenient if the Board of Commissioners held their meetings oftener than once a week. The motion was then agreed to. Mr. HUME then tnoved for Returns orthe Per. sons employed in London as Inspectors of Hawkers' and Pedlars' Licenses, and Hackney-coach Duties, with their names, salaries, allowances, and the na oture of their duties. Mr. BENNET, in seconding the motion, observed, that he was a little surprised to hear the Hon. Secre tary opposite state his intention of moving for a Com mine of that House to inquire into the Hackney coach Office. Such an inquiry was more particu larly the duty of Ministers, and it was not to le borne that they should cast the labour off their shoul ders, and saddle a Committee of this House, with it. It would seem that Ministers intendedtp do nothing but take their salaries. Ministers ought; in the first instance, to make the inquiries, and then state the result to the House. Parliament was more properly a Court of Controul over Ministers, than of inquiry in the first instance. There were, however, difficult cases, such as the question of Agriculture, when the advice of the Council of the Nation was asked very properly ; but in a mere matter of arrangenient as to aux, it was a little too much to ask twenty-one Gentlemen of that House to immure themselves months and weeks togethei, in doing that which was the bounden diity.of his Majesty's Ministers. Mr. LUSHINGTON said, that this House bad appointed a Committee to inquire into the best means of reducing the expen.e of collecting the Revenue. Mr. BENNET said, that the Committee alluded to was appointed for a particular purpose. It did not follow,however, as a matter of con rte., th at there should be a Committee to inquire into each particular de partment-connected with the collection of the revenue. Sir J. NEWPORT said, that the labours of that Committee, which was appointed under peculiar cir cumstances, were confined to Ireland. Mr. LUSHINGTON ob s erved, that he'still cont nued to think that this Houie was the most proper tribunal to refer the clnsiderarion of any important question to, and I e thoui,ht any question connected I'with the Revenue was of that nature.—The motion was then agreed to. Mr. HUM E then moved for Returns of the Persons employed in the country u Inspectors of Hawkers and Pedlars' Licenses, and whether they performed their duties by themselves or by deputier, together with the nature of the Securities they had given, and the number of Licenses issued fur the last five years, distinguishing those issued in each year.—Ordered. The lion. Gentleman also moved for a Return of the Penal ties inflicted under the Hawkers' Act, and how these Penalties had been applied. Likewise for similar Returns under the Hackney coach Act.—Ordered. The Hon. Gentleman again moved for Returns of the rum her of days on which Boards were actually held, distinguishing the number in each week. and the number of Commissioners present at each.—Ordered. Mr. LUSHINGTOS broughc.up the Report of the Commissioners for inquiring ince the Expenses of Col lecting the Revenue in Ireland. Mr. WALLACE, in moving that. the Report be laid on the table, said he was anxious to say a few words, in, order to obviate any: disappointment which might arise , to those expectations of success that were formed from the labours of the Commissioners who had prepared it. He believed a hope was generally entertained, that, at the tneeting.of Parliament, the Commissioners would by able to state to the House that some decisive tesuk had.crowned their labours. That, however, they were not yet enabled to dd; and from toe manner in which the investigation was ne cessarily conducted, and the views or things which they were obliged to take., they were still unable to fulfil that. expectation in 4 manner satisfactory either .to the House or themselves, This Report, therefore, was to be considered only aka . prelimimary measure. It only stated generally the course taken by the Cont. missioners ; but there was reason to hope that Parlia meat would sanction that course, as they were con ...limed it would lead to ag economical a.id efficient .reduction of the expense.of colleerhig• the Revenue ,in Ireland. The Horne would kecnitect.that, when they were pleased, to appoint the Commissioners, they desired that their attention should be addressed to two objects, namely—to con4cr the best means of re ducing the eispense of collecting the revenue in Ire land, and to assimilate, its far as possible, that mode to the practice of this country. The Commissioners had found that the 'coilectica ol the revenue was conducted upon g much fume expensive plan i n t h e ' sister r ilro " rn u i n : l the tb*l use t ilaEn eo it ad, and they, could sat was likely a •pe r f eee assimiLation of the duties could be obtained in that icy.
