Dear Sir,—Kindly allow me a pleas in your

of conduct practiced on me by Her Majesty's
servants, the lnoome-tax Oommirrioners. Hay-
ing been considerably surcharged on my returns
for Inoonie-tax, which I declined to submit to,
and appealed before the Commissioners, but to
no purpose. 1 told them 1 would pay that
which was just and no more, unless compelled
to, and kept my word, as it is • most unjust and
iniquitous charge. This day, the 25th March,
the collector having called several times, at last
being obliged to perform his duty (by order I
suppose of the tkinunlssioners), seized upon
articles of household furniture to the amount of
about £25, to pay £5 11a. I then . paid the
amount under protest 14 desire in publishing
this matter is, that it may stir up the people to
put down such aa Iniquitous system of surcharg-
ing beyond the fair amount of returns; as from
what I can gather from Mr. Lowe's speech, in
reply to the deputation, wears left to the tender
mercies of the assessors, or surveyors, whose
inoomes I suppose are augmented in proportion
to the amount of money they collect, whether
justly or unjustly.—Yours, very truly,

poor-rates for more than 2.5 years, and being now 76
years of age is too feeble to continue his duties. Mr.

as well as the poor•rates, thee doing away with the
unpleasantness of choosing two fresh oleos every year.
