TURNPIKE TRUSTS.

The Marquis of SALISBITBY moped for :
An amount of tolls raised under the Turnpike Trusts Ade, front the
lit of January, 1841, to the let of January, 1849; distinguishing each
year; with an account of those trueta which are In debt. 2ndly.
Amount of debt, whether aching from money borrowed upon the
oreurity of the MBA, the interest due thereupon, or other chants., at
the present time. 3rdly. The amount of money raised by highway
rate, from Easter, 1837, to Easter, 1848; distinguishing each year.
4thly. The amount of money contributed from the highway rates to
turnpike made, from the year ISOT to the year 1818; distinguishing
each year.

The Duke of RICHMOND said that an attempt was
about to be made to saddle the county rates with the whole
of the turnpike trusts, and he wished to take the earliest
opportunity of protesting against it. Surely this was not a
time to add 8,000,0001. to the county rates, which were a
direct tax on the landed interest. The time was fast coming
when, sooner or later, they must go back to protection,
or they would be called upon by the voice of
the country to revise the heal taxation, whien
pressed so unfairly on the landed interests of this country.
(Hear, hear.) As to the malt tax, he would not give a
year's purchase for it. That was one of the taxes on agricul•
tune which was already doomed. When they talked et
adding 8,000,0001. to the county rate they must remember
by whim it was paid. It was paid out of the poor rate, and
the smallest cottager in our villages paid his proportion of it.
(Hear, hear.)
At the suggestion of Earl Clusivima, the noble marquis
withdrew his motion, with the intention of renewing it on
an early day.
