fhetile Earl of CLANCARTY would say one word as to
11a/tension of this tax to Ireland, with respect to which
fhlr'fd not think that the matter had been fully consi-
the'''. It bad been said, and said truly, that where
eae,tve,re equal laws and equal privileges, there should
Vho'frl taxation. He could not acquiesce with those
in 14.4,7eught Ireland stood on an equality with England
bud "s and privileges, and hence he thought that in the
tupt Ireland had been most unfairly dealt with.

the course pursued in this bill was calculated to de-

the that it would have been better to have left
potiiertensolidates annuities as they were, instead of im-
