wee worthy of coouderation. In the meantime he had
given the nuttier some attention, and he felt that there
would lw great difficulties in the way of carrying the plan
&to effect. Several points had to be coomilered before a bill

COLLECTION OF INLAND REVENUE.
Mr. NORRIS asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether it was the intention of her Majesty's governinent
to take steps for the transfer, from persons locally appointed,
to the olicen of inlAnd reeenle, of the duties of assessors
and collecton of isotonic, property, sad wowed taxes and
collectors of land Um

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER mid the
possible transfer of the assessment and collection of the
Queen's taxes from local authorities to a central authority
was a subject of considerable importance. The exact state of
the question was this. There had been, as was well known
to hon. members, • mandeatatiou of feeling, both in the
house and the country, favourable to a transfer of that kind.
At the same time, it was quite evident that this was a
bander which, whatever its abstract merits, ought not to
be proposed or carried into effect except with the general
eon, urrence of those who might be affected by it. The
course which had Isms taken was this. A circular had
been sent round by the Board of Inland Revenue to all
boards of lend tax commissiooers in the couotry, which
were Cid in number. A large number of answers had been
received from those boards —he thought from about half the
number; and another circular had just been sent to spur
those who bud sot yet answered, in order that the govern•
meat might be railed to exertion their sentiments. So
far as answers had hitherto been received, the general effect
wee that the greater number of Walla appeared to be
favourable to the transfer. Speaking generally, there
was this distinction between the answers,—tiny of
the boards in large tom were unfavourable, where=
in Cue country the sentiment was more decidedly
favourable to the truster. There were two questiotei to lie
considered. First of all, whether the transfer should be
'misers:illy made. by au oxidant. compulsory measure ; but
in.mmuch as several hoards connected with 1:1111•110. Of the '
population were uulavourable to the transfer, i.a did not
batik the government would be disposed to paean coercive
memos as regarded Buse who objected. But it might
happen that in many distncts of the country there was such
a prepuidenuore of sentiment in favour of the transfer that
it w..uld be desirable to give effect to it, and woke the
il=arrangements for such bender. Tint queetion
