subject of doubling the house tax. (Hear, hear.) The
question before them was,, whether they would con-
sent to the proposals of the Government. Now, he
could not consent to the amendment of the honourable
member for Finsbury, but in going into commi
he should do so under protest, because
was proposd to reduce taxation without
voting the additional ways and means to supply the de-
ficiency. He objected decidedly to the principle of
supplying that deficiency with money which had been
lent by the state to promote public works, and which
should be applied to the extinction of the national debt.
The second reason that taxation ought not to be re-
mitted until the ways and means of the year had been
provided for, and for that reason he maintained that the
Chancellor of the Exchequer had no right to propose a
reduction of taxation before he had obtained a
new recognition of the Income tax. This was
the course followed by Sir R. Peel, who persisted in ob-
taining a second reading of his Income-tax Bill before he
would proceed to discuss the reduction of the tariff. On
those grounds, though he should consent to go into
committee, he should do so under protest against
the course which it was proposed to take in committee.
This was the first time that such a protest had been
taken. In 1851, the right lion. gentleman the present
Chancellor of the Exchequer had proposed a resolution
against the house going into committee on the Budget of
that year, which involved a similar protest.
