SUPPLY.

In reply to Mr: GROGAN,
Lord J. RUSSELL said he did not think supply
would come on on Thursday, but it would certainly not
be the first order on that day.
INCOME TAX.

The House then went into committee upon the Income
Tax Bill.
On clause 26,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
hon. member opposite (Mr. Barrow) had an amendment
on the paper for the purpose of making an allowance to
tenant farmers in respect of interest on borrowed money.
He thought the hon. member had proposed the amend-
ment under a misapprehension, for under schedule B
tenant farmers were entitled to such an allowance in the
same way as a trader under schedule D.
Mr. BARROW was glad to hear the Chancellor of
the Exchequer make that declaration, but he thought it
would do no harm to insert the words he proposed in
the bill.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ob-
jected to that course.
After a few words from Sir F. KELLY and Mr.
BRIGHT, •
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
though the Government entertained no doubt as to
tenant farmers being entitled to this allowance by the
bill, they intended to propose a clause after the bill had
gone through committee, to place the matter beyond
dispute...
Mr. BARROW said he was satisfied with the expla-
nations of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and he
would not propose the amendment.
The clause was then agreed to, as were also 27, 28, 29,
and 30.
'On clause 31,
• Mr. SPOONER moved the addition of the following
proviso at the end of the clause :—" Provided neverthe-
less, that nothing in this act shall be construed to com-
pel any occupier, being a tenant for the time being, to
pay the arrears of income tax due by any former tenant
or occupier of the same lands, tenements, or heredita-
ments, or to deduct and retain from his landlord out ofany
subsequent payment of rent such arrears, unless the
landlord shall have received his rent for the period for
which the arrear .is due." He contended that nothing
could be more unjust than to make either the landlord
or tenant pay arrears due by a former tenant.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed
the clause.

ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB.

The first match of the present season of this club will
take place to-morrow. The course will be from Erith
to Hole Haven (about 10 miles below Gravesend) and
back to Erith, and the club have chartered the Meteor
steamer, together with the band of the Royal Artillery,
to accompany the match.
The following is a list of the yachts entered, and their
owners, viz. : Tons.
1. Julia ... 8 Mr. W. Bain.
2. Mischief ... 10 Mr. J. R. Kerby.
3. Britannia ... 7 Mr. G. Legg.
4. Valentine ... 8 Mr. B. Wallis.
5. Blue-eyed Maid 4 Mr. W. Tuckwell.
6. Romp ... ... 8 Mr. R. and J. C. Knight.
7. Alpha ... 10 Mr, F. B. Bayley.
8. Kitten ... ... 10 Mr. T. Harvey.
One minute per ton is to be allowed by the larger to
the smaller vessels.
The three larger vessels have just been built by rival
builders, and on that account considerable interest is
excited as to their respective merits. The other vessels
(except the Blue-eyed Maid, which is a new vessel) are
the " cracks" of last year, and a very good and close
match may be anticipated.
Theclub steamer will leave London-bridge at a quarter-
past nine o'clock precisely, and Blackwall pier at ten
o'clock precisely, calling at Greenwich and Erith.
