STAMP DUTIES.

- -
The house then went into committee on Customs, &c.,
Acts.

On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX-
CHEQUER, the resolutions respecting feu and ground
annual rights in Scotland, and respecting scrip certifi-
cates, were agreed to.
ADVERTISEMENT DITTY.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
moved
the following resolution :

That from and after the sth day of July, 1853, in lieu of
the duties now payable on advertisements, be paid:—
For or in respect of any advertisement con-
tained in or published with any gazette or
other newspaper, or any other periodical
paper, or in or with any pamphlet or literary
work
The right hon. gentleman briefly explained the nature
of the alterations which he had made in the resolutions
respecting the stamping of newspaper supplements,
which have already been published.
Mr. M. GIBSON moved as an amendment the inser-
tion of words to the effect that the advertisement duty
should be altogether repealed, in accordance with the
resolution of the house on the 14th of April last. He ex-
pressed his astonishment that the Chancellor of the
Exchequer had not abolished this duty after the decision
of the house, and he could not but think, after the pro-
mise he had held out, that the matter would be taken
into consideration, that the house had been trifled
with. He was afraid that the right honourable
gentleman had got into the hands of certain large new-
spaper proprietors, who thought that the continuance of
the tax would keep up their monoply. On financial grounds
the tax was objectionable, because it was miserable in
amount, and would entail great expense and trouble in its
collection. He would much rather prefer that it should
remain at its original amount than not be repealed
altogether. The hon. member concluded by calling on
hon. members to support the amendment. (Hear.)

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated

the grounds which had induced the Government to pro-
pose the present resolution in lieu of the abolition of the
tax.
