TO THE HON. THE COMMONS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OP
GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND.

The humble Petition of Charles kiiihony, Proprietor of
the Hereford Times Newspaper, '
Sheweth,—That your petitioner, in common with the
proprietors of the newspaper press of the United King-
dom, heard with gratitude the proposition of her Ma-
jesty's Chancellor of the Exchequer to repeal the half-
penny stamp on supplements to newspapers ; but that
they afterwards with surprise and concern learned, from
the official copy of the resolutions, that the said repeal
would apply only to supplements " containing wholly
advertisements."
That such limitation could only have arisen from the
circumstance of the right hon. gentleman being unac-
quainted with newspaper compilation ; inasmuch as it
would practically exclude nearly every newspaper in the
kingdom, with the solitary exception of the London
Tines—(thereby giving to the proprietors of that paper
an exclusive privilege, to the damage and injury of the
rest of the London and provincial proprietary : a civil
wrong which your petitioner sincerely believes was never
contemplated by the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the
Exchequer)—not any other publication having regularly
a surplus number of advertisements equivalent to the
filling of such supplement.
That the compiler or editor has no control whatever
over the number, length, or quantity of his advertise-
ments ; one day a few hours before publication he• might
have two or three columns ; the next day five or six ;
the next ten or twelve ; and vice versa ; therefore, it is
obvious that constraining him to fill his supplement
with advertisements wholly, would cause inextricable
