An application was made sesterriiy to the sitting Natio-
trate, Wit Fastanart. Esq. for a aummune to !redirected to
the Gate-lterprr of the Tybero Tornmke-Rate, for leaving
obligesl the carter of a country Gentleman to pay lull fur a
load of mannre.

The Gentleman 'violin the complaiot state'', that this
was a ease of the Mabee' laspertamos ist the landholders.—
This toll had been meted for a considerable time, although
it was oaatrary to Act of Parliament; for the fast we..
th it at would be hopossible for a siugle iollivitioal to nootaid
with the body of fanners of tolls.
_ _

A person in thei)thee, who stated himself to he the lessee
of the toll, said, that Mr Browne, who managed the eimearn
fur the Commissioners of Roads, would *Mond in the course'
of the day, and give every explanatioa that wee required.—
Hs would, however, state, on what ground the demand was
made : it was under t local Act of Parliament, which only
entitled persons livMg la the parish to be exempt from the
payment of the toll.
The complaint/tit theft Mated, that, by the Let of the
524 of the pmieut King, retina 1, it was enacted, " that
from and after passing this Act, that any cart or carriage
posaiog or going across any, turnpike road, shall not be
liable to pay Aoli, if loaded with manure any shrug contain.
ed to She cookery in any Act notwithatinding."—This Art,
be essitended, repented all Arts made before it, whether
potilie or local, and that the isitention of the Legislature
ails eft assist the cultivation of the land. The penalty fur
exacting the payment of the toll was M. with liberty fur
Magistrate to reduce it sot natter 40s. It oat not the pe-
nally be or his frieuds wanted, luit that the question should
be determinist.

Mr. FICI.DINO obeerred, that the Art or the S2d of the
King wa. tonelusive, and it repealed all ether Arts pre-
viously made on the mine subject. A rart or canine had
II right, by it, to lw exempted from 1011, if looted with ma-
isure.if it was 'piing from toadon to York. A. Mr Nowise
did net attend, lw would wane a peremptory auuttnuiss to
