IHA'r this Court have obsenred with great satisfaction
Z that the I'ltanectior of his 31ajesty's Exchequer has re-
potted that the Surplus ILCIPCMC of the Country admitted the
Iteyeal of varietal Taxes: that, although they are eel:ions not
to impede that liberal policy slueb may be beneficial to our Com-
mercial Interests by the remission of Duties on the raw materials of
Silk and Wool, yet, knowing the patience and fortimile with
which the People have borne their numerous and heavy burdens,
they feel themselves bound to represent to the Honourable House
of Commies, that the Assessed Taxes, and especially the Win-
slow Dinka, have been most grievously felt by the middling and
bwasslesteo..at Tradoesoes, whereby woe burnt been todoesd 016
PSUP62IIIIII.
Via: the celirctioo cf the Assessed Taxes is attended with
hooey Charge, by the appointment of faction, Inspectors and
Crown Meets ; and that the numerous Surcharge,' and Appeals
which result Midi this system, occasion the most vexatious contests
in every pan or the Kingdom.
That a Pattiter ihuattea an this Resolution be presented to the
Ho:int:rabic the House of Commons, praying them to repeal the
Window Duties,-ar.d to &Nerd such odm rclisf as to their wisdom
