REPORT OF MR. HUBBARD'S COMMITTEE.

Thin morning the following report was issued
froui the parliamentary printing-office :
The select committee appointed to inquire into the pre-
sent mode of assessing and collecting the loconie and Pro-
perty Tax. and whether any mode of levying the same, so
as to render the tax more equitable, can be adopted, have
considered the matte'', to then. referred, and have agreed
to the following report :
Your committee have proceeded in this iuquiry, and hee-
-1 ing examined witnesses thereon, have agreed to report the
following oisiervations to the house :—The question sub-
mitted to yoer committee was very fully investigated by a
select commute appoiate4l an the you. V 4.11. anal reap-
pointed in Itt-e2, on the motion of the Late Mr. Hume, who
laid before it a scheme for the coorersion of the present
Income mid Property T..\ into a tax to be adjusted iu ac-
cordance with Ist, The value of the property ; •211.1, The
tenutre of the owner; :ia .1, The age of the owner. The chief
..okses of time 'camel kerma'e department, to whom this
scheme was at that time communicated, expressed a strung
opisioo that its administration would he attended with in-
*urn...marble dulieulties ; sump your committee see no re.,
Wit for questioning the cumictnesa of this opinion.
I The attention of your committee, on the present occa-
sion, has bees mainly directed to another scheme, pivposed
by their rheum an, and esphibled by him both in written
monormela ant in oral evidence, the principal &Mures of
11 oiMoot to be as follows :-Ist. A proposal to make
net, instead of gross, 1110/111/3 the basis of assessment to the
tax ; not ascertaining the net income by an a.ceount of
actual outgoings, but assuming it by • doductioe founded
on an nvensee, from certain classes. of gross incomes.
2ud. A prupoaal to distil, all incomes into two classes, of
which the one should conga ise incomes called spootaneous, the
other incomes ...died in.lustrie/ ; and to tax the former upon
the full amount of the net in and the latter upon two-
third* of that summit. :tad. .h proposal to distinguish in
certaia mem between the interest of Minded capital and the
repayment be instalments of the investedcapital itself, and
to levy the tax upon the interest only, and nut upon the
repaid portion. of capital.

Them three proposal., are addressed to three complaints
which are popularly 71..1, amiust the Income Tax in its
present form ; viz., that it team the owner. of property I.
teepee: of income which they do nut get; that it proems
too hardly upon skill and industry as compared with pro-
perty ; and that it dada *Rh capital in certain cases as if
it were raceme, and taxes it aceoidingly. The proposals which
your committee have had under consideration are framed
upon the ii.e.uruption that the complaints to which your
committee have adverted are well founded, and they are
contrived with much ingenuity with a view to meeting
them. Your committ,l, however, after full consideration,
have arrived at the conclusion that the plan proposed by their
chairmandoes not &tient a hesisfor apracticable and equitable
re-adjustment of the illaMllll Tax ; sad they feel so strongly
the dangers sod ill coasequelmes to be apprehended from
an attempt to unsettle the present basis of the tax, with-
out a clear perception of the mode in which it is to be re-
count:acted, that they are nut prepared to offer to your
honourable house airy suggestioas for its amendment.
Toni tax haviog new been made the subject of in-
vestigation before two ,oninrittees, and no proposal
for its arnenlmeat haring been found satisfactory,
roar committee are brought to the conclusion that the
obje Aire. which are urged against it, are objections to its
nature and essence rather than to the particular shape
winch has been given to it. Your committee also feel that
it would be unjust to niske any alteration in the present
incidence of the Income Tax without, at the same time,
taking into consideration the premium of other taxation
upon the various interest. of the country, some of it im-
posed by rero•nt and in one ease especially, that
of the• succerden duty, to some extent by way of compels.

LAMBETH.
ROGUERY OF THE DRAT DRAINAGE CONTRACTOR.,
Mr. ROliard Era.., a blacksmith, in a good way of
business at Dulwich, and who, up to the present time, has
borne as irreproachable character, and C'harfrx Jame.,
Lillprhite, a person in his employment, were placed at the
bar before the Hon. U. C. Norton, on a charge of stealing
a large quaatity of Stadorthihire and other bricks, the pro-
=ol Messrs. be and Bowles, cootractort, under the
of Works, for the great drainage at Norwood,
Dulwich, and their neighbourhoods.
From the evklence, it appeared that a number of bricks,
it wee said 10,00.11 U number, had disappeared in a myste-
rious Manned' from a large heap near the premises of the pri-
soner Evans, and no trace could be discovered of them.
Within the last week three men holding responsible situa-
tions under Messrs. Lee and Bowles have been committed
from this court on serious clauses of plunder, and ou that
morning the prisoner was seen to wheel a number of bricks
from the premiere of his master to the gait where the heap
rigiosll v stood. This led to an examination of the premises
by an officer, and he discovered a new building composed of
the iitalfordshire brick or partly so, and also a ber of
the same description of brick, which had evidently been
used, thrown over a hedge adjoining the premises.
After a lengthened examination both prisoners were
remanded.

Mr. Ed,urd ettrfeNthrk, • yortly-looking person, who
was described as a merchant, residing at Merton, was
summoned before N r. Daynuus, at the instance of the South
Western Railway Company, for unlawfully interfering ii ith
the comforts of pasamgers while tmcellinz on the Iliac
The summon. had been adjourned for a week in conse-
quence of the defendant having sent a letter stating his in-
ability to attend. Ile now appeared and ',loaded not guilty.
Mr. Henry Thema., Dobson a wine merchant, residing at
New Mahlon, Kingston, deposed that on the tith inst. he
was • passenger by the 5 minutes past e o'clock train, from
Waterloo. The defendant was also a passenger. A lady
entered the carriage at Waterloo-station, mid took her seat.
The defendant paid the lady • great deal of attention,
which seemed to annoy her. It went on fur a quarter
of an hour, and at last it became painful to
witness, and he asked the defendant if he did
not see that his attentions annoyed the lady,
and asked him to desist. The defendant turned upon him
In • savage manner, told him to mind his own business, and
to keep boa tongue within has teeth. He demanded of witness
what right he bad to interfere, and lie told him the right
of every man to protect a lady from annoyance and insult. The
Wooden t then told him that he was not • man, and threatened
to throw him out of the carriage window if he opeued Lie
mouth again. He doubled his fist ewe to witnem'e
mouth, and kept it at that point for some
tune, daring him to speak, and using insulting
expreesions. Witness asked him for his card, but he refusal
to give one, and said cards were net for such fellows as
he. The defendant left the train at Wimblodoo, and after
he was gone the lady thanked witness for his protection,
and said the defendant bad annoyed her very much all the
way down.
The defendant denied annoying the lady, and disputed the
right of Use witness to interfere with him. He said that he
always looked out for a carriage which contained no lady,
on account of the large crinolines worn by them, but on thin
occasion the lady got in after he was seated, and as she had
• child, and being fond of children, he spoke to her. He
was not aware that he had annoyed the lady.
Mr. llayman thought the case was clearly proved, and
said the conduct of the defendant was that of • nets who had
been found out. It was the duty of every gentleman to
protect • lady from annoyance, and he fined the defendant
4i.k. and costs.
The money was immediately paid.

HORRIBLE MURDER AT BIRMINGHAM
BIRMINGHAM, FRIDAY EVENIN4:.

Yesterday evening a man named John Gregeon
Farquhar, • gentleman of independent menu, living in
Orange road, Smal!heath, Birmingham, murdered his mis-
tress, Elizabeth Brooks, by shooting her through the left
lung with a pistol. Farquhar, who is said to be intimately
related to the head of one of the lased mercantile
firma in Liverpool, hi a man of about forty years of age, and
of the most dissolute habits. Some years ago hie wife died,
leaving him an only daughter. In January, the deceased,
Elizabeth Brooks, who was then about nineteen years old,
west to live with him, nominally as housekeeper, but in
reality as his mistress, and in the beginning of this year she
gave birth to • child, the issue of that connexion. year
Farquhar would seem to have become jealous of the girl,
though he still treated her in a kind manner, and on
the day of the murder he is paid to have taken her to tho
musket festival, and purchased for her a new dress.
About six o'clock yesterday evening they sat at tea, chatting
in the most friendly manner, when Farquhar sent out the
servant girl to fetch • cab. In about five minutes later the
report of • pistol was heard and be rushed out of the house,
went to • man named Pinny, who lives near, and paid, " I
have done it at ILA ; I have shot my housekeeper." Penny
went with him back into the houee,wheie in the front room
he found the poor girl dead, the shot having entered the
lett breast near the nipple. On the floor was I:arlx
horse pistol that hail been recently disc
Information was at once pent to the police, and Mr.
Westwood, surgeon, was called io, and at once pronounced
1 the wound to have been immediately fatal. Farquhar was
taken into custody and removed to the police-station.
At the Birmingham police-court this morning, before
Kynoeraley, the stipendiary magistrate, Farquhar won
placed in the dock on • charge of wilful murder. He was
sobbing convulsively, and kept repeating to himself the
wools, "Oh ! my poor Betsy." xvideece was given,
mid on the application of Sergeant Jeggin• the prisoner
was remanded until after the coroner's inquest. The affair
has created great exeilement.

THE INQUEST.
The inquest es the body el the deemk
_Elisalbeth
Brookes,•Fo.2 held Lust night at the hoses of Xs.
Imo.,
the Old White Lion Inn, Senallheath, before De:C
Dairies, the coroner, and • respectable jury. The jury
having bees sworn. they proceeded to view the body of
Wee Hraetee, which remained in the mama room in which
she was killed. This room is the parlour, a small room
lighted with • window at each end. There is • small table
in the centre, on which the tea things are arranged, as
though the meal was just about to he begun, and there is •
glass containing • small quantity of bear. Os a small table
in the corner are • number of ornaments, and a few flowers
in a pot. On one side of the room stands a cloud grand
pianoforte, and the walls are liberally covered with excel-
, lent engravings, many being after pictures by Leadseer.
And ou • board in Om centre of the room is stretched
the dead body of the uufortunate young woman, the
drew being covered with blood that bad flowed reely
from a large circular wound in the left breast, near the
nipple. Having viewed the belly the jury returned to their
room, where Mr. Farquhar was present in the custody of
Police t TN:gum He wee much affected, and was
continually moaning and subbing convulsively. Mr. John
Powell was present to watch the cue on his behalf, and
there were also present Aldermen Cox and the Rev. W.
HA Incumbent of St. Andrew's.
John Frederick W. Penny wes sworn and said—l live
at the corner of Mintz-street and Grange.road, and am
sow • grocer. About twenty-five mieu:es past six o'clock
yesterday afternoon, when standing at the door talking to
the daughter of Mr. Farquhar. I saw Mr. Farquhar come
oat of his house. He came and kissed his child and said to
her, " I have shot Besse." Ho then said to me, " Penny,
I want YOU." I answered, "My dear fellow, what is the
matter!" He said, "Murder, by Goal'" He then said,
"Come with me, I have something to all von." I went
with him to his house, and saw the deceased sitting in one
chair and leaning her head on another chair at her left
side, still alive. Her head was supported by the cushion of
the second chair. He aid. " It was I who shot her, it was
iI who did the deed." Deceased was then alive. I saw
some blood pouring down her breast. I could see a wound
on her left breast, arid her dress was on fire, not in a blase
but smouldering. The girt (Mary Phillip.) come into the
room just then and said, • Master, here 111 the cab." He
replied to her, "Tell him I do not want him." I told the
girl to go and fetch the mob.' gentleman who lived
nearest, upon which Mr. Farquhar laid, "No, amid
for Mr. Noreen." I then cent out and scut one
mesons for the police, awl another for Mr. Hostel!, whom
I believe to be a friend of the deceased. He then said to
me, "Penny, there i. • document in that desk which I
should like Mr. Honda to have, respecting my child and
property." I then mew on the Goer, by the chair en which
the head of the deceased rested, ahem pistol. I took it up
and placed it on the table. Finding that no medical gentle-
man had arrived, I went out and saw the girl had not
gone for one, sr I sent her for Mr. Westwood. I saw in
the room • loaded gun, hanging agniest the wall over the
couch. It was hanging on a nail. I think it was loaded,
as I sew that there was a cep upon it. On the mantel-
piees I raw a powder flask, and on the table there were two
kerns. Whoa I went to look after the servant girl I saw
Mr. Dune se into the house. When I went heck deceased
was so sager alive. She died in about three minutes after
I grit entered the room. Mr. Farquhar appeared to me to
be very much excited, but I do ant think lie we drunk.
He appeared to me to have been drinking, but not to
be drank. When in the room, Mr. Farquhar knelt
down beside deoeued, kissed her many name. sad
"Oh, Bossy! why did you tell me what yes did! You
knew I loved you." He then told mo they bed been to
town, sad that be had bought her • new dress. He was
still is • kneeling position, and kissed deceased frequently,
making use of incoherent remark.. The pistol produced
new. by the officer Keefe (an old horse pistol with • dint-
leek) is the one I picked up in the room yesterday. When
I took it up, I looked at it, and noticed that it had bees
reeeetly discharged. I live jut acres. the road, sod did
sot beer any pistil go off that evening at all. My bowie is
not more than thirty yards away from his.
The servant in the house of Mr. Farquhar said that when
they returned together they appeared to be very good
friends. She thought he was not saber.
A traces, named Legge. who went iota the house soon
after the murder, said that Mr. Farquhar seemed like •

madman. He thought Mr. Farquhar was going to strike
him (witness). lie said he was deatiagly fond of deceased,
and that what he had done was through jealousy.
Similar evidence as to the strangeness of his manner was
given by the police.
The medical evidence showed that the death must have
been instantaneous. The shot was small shot, such as is
used in shooting sparrows.
In answer to the coroner, Mr. Powe'l said his client did
not wish to make any statement at present.
The coroner then briefly summed up, remarking on the
clearness of the evidence as to how death had been caused,
and who fired the pistol, and on the fact that the evidence
was in no part contradictory. There did not appear to be
any of thsw extenuating circumstances which would
justify the jury in returning a verdict of manslaughter,
and with regard to what had been said by the witnesses
rezartim-' the state of mind of the man Farquhar, that
part of the matter would be better dealt with by a jury
acting under the direction of one of her Majesty's judges.
At a quarter-past eleven the room was cleared, and, after
half an hour's deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of
" Wilful Murder." The prisoner Farquhar was committed
for trial on the charge under the coroner's warrant.
At one part of the evening a large crowd had collected
around the house in which the inquest was being held, and
much excitement was manifested.
