Tl;rt CHANCELLOR of the EXCIiK4IUER said, the
ease was one of extreme delicacy fur the niterfereuce of the
House iu the way now proposed, on accoutit of the effect
it might have upon judicial inquiries which were pendipg
elsewhere, relating to several of the cases referred to by the
Hon, Member wbo brought forward the motion.
Mr. WARRE observed upon the Eight Hun. Gentleman's
wish that the House should refrain at preseut from noticing
this subject, oat accouut of judicial inquiries which were
going on elsewhere, that be could tell the Right Honourable
Gentleman that such inquiries would continue to be going
on as long as the present system of protecting the reveune
was persevered in. He wished to draw the attention of the
House le the nature of the temptation which was *hewn
in the way of the poor 'obtaining people living oil the coast.
When a valuable cargo was *boat to be brought over, and a
number of men were wanted to watch the preveutive service,
news went about among the Ishuutine people, and the sum
which woe held out to theta fur their attendance for a few
boors in a single night, was equal to a whole week's wages.
What poor man with a family could resist such a strong ia.
ducement in there times? The system had already led to
itinottserable acts of violence, outrage, mid bloodshed; and
must infallibly lead to still more; for he ill lobed the House
to recollect, that smuggling, like poaching, was not a crisis
in itself, our could the people be brought to look upon it I.
the light of any tither moral offence.
Mr. LOCKHART said the motion was very ill-timid;
fur the Assizes were now going on, where malty persons
were about to be tried for their conduct in trausactions of
the nature alluded to, and there was already a sofficteutly
strung prejudice exisliug misting the people of those dm-
trim against persous in that situation, even among Jurors;
• fact so well known, that in matey cases it was found rte.
cessary to have the trials removed iuto a different county
from that where the offence was committed. Although
smuggling was not an act of that description called by
moral philosophers male is es, yet when considered is its
consequences, it could not but be regarded as equally cri-
minal. It was not merely a crime against the revenue, but
almost the industry of the whole body of the subjects of the
State. Hr coedit not feel that sort of false humanity which
some persons professed, for persons whose lives became fur.
feited by their violation of, or resistance to the laws; look.
horst the case as a legisletur or a Judge, he could nut but
t' k that those who violated the laws should meet their just
reward in the consequences of their own acts.
Mr. HU asT said, if Ibis motion were to be deferred until
there were no prisoners in custody fur trial on charges of
the nature alluded to, it isevrr would be brought on at all.
He eouceived the present to be as proper a time as say.
lie strongly reprobated the violence and want of humanity
which attended the execution of the WeVrtlUe Laws, and eon.
tended that the preseut system leaded to increase the evils
smoggling.
Mr. LUtiHINGTON said, it was an error to suppose
that smuggling hid Increased, for the present system, al-
though certainly it had been attended with some vioteuee sod
bloodshed, had succeeded in restraining it. The wittiest.*
which had been complained of did not grow oat of the pre.
sent system, but existed in an equal degree before. He sob.
mined to the Hen. Member the propriety of withdrawing
the motion fir the present, as several trials were about to
fume on of persons, the charges against whom •rose out of
the subject of the motion. lie vine ready to ogee with the
Hun. Getitleinan opposite, that the gemination heist out to
the poor labourers to induce theta blank* is smuggling were
very Lich indeed; but he would submit to the Hun. Mem-
ber whether the blame ought out rather to be charged on the
tempter, then on the laws which wenito in the practice
by putielting it with severity.
Mr WARRE explained.
Mr. 11. G. BENNETT said, he could ailment to
look upon the death of a fellow.ereatuve in • ease of smug.
Kling wills that indifference which was professed by the
Hiatt. and Learned Gentleman opposite. He believed the
tiontleitioa of all the enoschiefs whielt arose out of the pee-
ventove system, to be the heavyduties and probibitioos of
'glides of foreign produce; and be cootesded that if the sea.

COLLECTION OF THE REVENUE.

RECEIVERS GENERAL OF TAXES, ANDDISTRI-
BUTORS OF STAMPS.
Mr. Hugs, in rising to make the motion of which
he had given notice, hoped to be indulged with the
attention of the House to the statements he was
about to ley before it, and the observations lie had
'to make, which he should endeavour to render as
short as possible. Any individual who looked
at the amount of the revenue of this country,
and the enormous expense of its collection,
and considered at the same time the pressure and
extent of the distress under which the whole popu-
lation of the country was labouring, must fed the
absolute necessity of euforciug the ►trictest eco-
nomy in the collection. The only way in which it
was possible to force the Wasters into the practice
of economy-ssaad uutil they were forced they never
would practice it—was for a Member of that
House to rise in his place, and to draw the
attention of the House to any particular branch
or establishment in which he conceived any
reduction or retrenchment could be made, and
to thew, by entering into s statement of the
pertecults s. in what manner any saving could
be effrcied; for the House and the country at
large must by this time be convinced, that any
proposition of a general or sweeping nature, applied
to any branch whatever of the public' expenditure,
would never be productive of any real impression
on his Majesty's Ministers. With this view, there-
fore, on the present occasion, he should confine his
observations, and the statements he had to make
upon the subject of the collection of the revenue,
to the offices of Receivers-General of the Land
surd Assessed Taxes, and Distributors of Stamps,
which were not only appointroeuts of Sergi:educate-
d:tent, but also sources of much of that corrupt
patronage and influence which had been so bane-
ful to its effects upon the prosperity of the country.
The number of Receivers-General of the Land and
Assessed Taxes was in England and Wales 65, and
in Scotland one; and the number of Distributors
of Stamps was 95. The amount received by the
Receivers-General for the duties of the offiee, in
the year ending sth January, 1820, was 41,4141. ;
and in that ending sth January MI, 41,9841. al-
though the majority of those officers discharged the
duties of their situations by deputy. It appeared
rather strange that the duties of those offices to
which the largest emoluments were attached should
continue to be performed by deputy, notwithstaird-
lug that three different Reports of Committees on
sinecure offices had laid it down as a maxim that
in all fu'ure appointments', where the duty of an
office was performed by deputy, the expense of the
principal should be saved to die public. He con-
tended that the whole of these Receivers-General
might be abolished : first, because few of them d d
the duty in person ; secondly, because there were
no Receivers-General ill Ireland, rad only one in
Scotland, who lived in the capital, and to whom
the collectors from the different comity districts
remitted the amount of their several collections.
He could seeno reason why the collectors throughout
this country might not remit the produce of the
taxes immediately to the Treasury, whereby the
diorama• sunis paid for poundage would be saved
to the public, and the large patronage arising out
of those offices would be destroyed. If Govern-
ment were disposed to economise, it would not be
difficult to find persons to perform the whole of
the duty at a much inferior rate of emolument, and
in many cases without any fee at all. Its London
there was one person who had 'acted in the capa-
city of Receiver for minty years without charging
any poundage, and to whom the only allowance
paid was u sum of 7711. for the expenses of
his office. It was evident, from this circumstance,
that there must be some other source of profit
annexed to the office, which he took to be the
large balances winch constantly remained iii their
hand.. He wished the House to observe the de-
gree of remuneration which they might derive from
such a source. The amount of the balances re-
maining in the hands of the Iteceitrani-General on
an average of the last two years, was 367,5741.
When the allowance of poundage was first made
to die Receivers, banking was not so com-
mon, nor so extensively carried on as at present.
It was a matter of some difficulty to remit large
sums in the interior parts of the country, indeed it
was in many instances impossible. The Receivers.
General were then obliged to send persons round
at a great expense, to get in the animist of the taxes
p.sid, from the collectors in their several districts.
On that account the allowance of poundage was
granted, which tinder the circumstance. of the pre-
sent time be could not bat consider as excessive.
There was not a banker in the country who would
not willingly do the tax business for Government
tree of expense. No doubt it was necessary that
the business should be in the hands of competent
mod responsible persons ; proper security could be
therefore token, but upon a better system than the
present. The securities exacted under the present
'latent were so excessively large, that they in many
cases prevented persons most competent to the un-
dertaking from entering upon the office. Another
serious evil of the existing system of securities
