SNIUGGLISIG Pox% Barrio ts.—Mr. CURIE'S mused for
returns fur the county of Sussex of all persons a tin Wive lost
their lives since the commencement of the eihist blockade
system, together with any circumstances that may hove at-
tended the souse.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER wished the
hon. member to withdraw the motion fur the present, as all
must be aware of the extreme delicacy of interfering
when judicial enquiries on some particular cases were
proreedent.
Mr. WAR RE said, as to the delicacy of the *Odell, he
could not discos er it; and as to the req.icsi to :lAA am from
calling for returns while judicial enquiries were proceedui4,
if this were to be acquiesced in, there never could he any
✓eturns. So long as this desperate system lasted, there would
be cause for judicial enquiries; it would be better for the
gentlemen opposite to give up such is severe mode of sus-
taining an et ravage ill s 3 stew• of rev i• nue.
Mr. LOCKHART thought it w as via adviveuble to require
these pope's now; certain papers were in progress of
• eoqtarico ; and was it pi oper to ;mestere under sum h
citcunrttaucesT The conduct tit the smugglers was u.osl
censurable; their practice not only affected the revenue but
but the of the country. •
Mr. HURST was favourable to the 'notion. If it were to
be ilo.lponed till there were uo persons in prisms uuder ouch
Clialw..s, lie apprehended that the mama could never be
made.

Mr. I.I.I9IIINGTON hoped the motion noulil be is ith-

Sussex tV—izeii.

31r. G RENNET prig. -led against the system Ihat was
so earilestly supported by the oientbers oppiJsitr he also
protested ag,;.iiot the doctrine that the loss of lite arts of
inferior coosequenee a plated against what on lion.

If such docttiurs N ere ',rimmed nod acted uposi, it would
prove that we wire f.st approaching to Inc state in which
Old Spain had been. He hoped the motion %mild be per-
severed in. . .

CoI.LECTIoN OF THE HEVENUE.—Mr FIUME brought
forward his motion respecting the receiverssgenei al and
dish i iiiii ors of stamps. The collection of the revenue, lie
01161.1 veil, cost upaal ds ()flour miliisois and a half; and if
there were to be ecui 11111 l y, tiny could not well attack re-
gulations of a more coolly tur dangerous charactt r. They
were nut appoluted by gover 1111 l eta—they were Lenerally
namul by the members of the counties in the (116triab nt
which the pea sous here appointed. 'Dime welt about 63
receivers ; in all, receivers and distributors, there weir
157 persons, who received about 43,0001. per annum. Of
the receivers, these were 34 who pet formed iii duties
by deputy. tie then adverted to the distributors of
stamps, stating the titular or poundage of 41. per cent.;
and Its show w lint piutits they received, he said 31r. Cole,
of Norfolk, in our year, distributed to the amount ot
3,80+1. Mr. stamstin th, of Liverpool, dist' dotted annu-
ally alsout 1,.001, lint the parties were at nu expence ;
there was no outlay of money ; yet what was the practice?
For every one shilling hill stamp there was a charge of
one shilling and a halfpenny. That was levying an extra
tax; the Chancellor ut the Exchequer took enough out of
the pockets legally—he ou6ht to such' e them against lo-
vies.—(Hear, hear.)—ln his (Mr. H.'s) opinion, every
person who eh.uged such halfpenny as much merited
transportatieu as the man who took some nails, value
three lartiongr, out ut the King's dock-yards. 'rise evil
and extravagance ut the spivs' lie 1110'11,1st were apparent
