PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

(From the rotes and Proceedings of the House of Commons.)

THURSDAY, MARCH 15.
LOCAL TAXATION.
Order read, for resuming adjourned debate on amendment
proposed to be made to Question (Bth March)," That the
whole of the local taxation of the country for national pur-
poses, falls mainly, if not exclusively, on real property, and
bears with undue severity on the occupiers of land, in a
manner injurious to the agricultural interests of the country,
and otherwise highly impolitic and unjust :
" That the hardship of this apportionment is greatly aggra-
vated by the fact, that more than one-third of the whole
revenue derived from the Excise, is levied upon agricultural
produce, exposed, by the recent changes in the law, to direct
competition with the untaxed produce of foreign countries;
the home producer being thus subjected to a burden of taxa-
tion which, by greatly enhancing the price, limits the de-
mand for British produce; and to restrictions, which inju-
riously interfere with the conduct of his trade and industry :
" That this House will resolve itself into a Committee, to
take into its serious consideration such measures as may re-
move the grievances of which the owners and occupiers of
real property thus justly complain, and which may establish
a more equitable apportionment of the public burdens :"
And which amendment was to leave out from the first word
" That" to the end of the Question, in order to add the words
"if the local taxation of the country presses unequally on
real property, or bears with undue severity on the occupiers
of land, such inequality and undue pressure ought to be re-
moved ; but, with the view of granting speedy relief to the
agricultural and other interests of the country, without de-
triment to the claims of the national creditors, it is the
opinion of this House that the public expenditure, now ex-
cessive, ought to be forthwith reduced so as to enable Par-
liament to repeal totally the Excise duties on malt and hops ;
and to remove, as far as practicable, other burdens which
impede the progress of agriculture - and of commercial in-
dustry," instead thereof: Question again proposed, " That
the words proposed to be left out. stand part of the Question."
The House divided :
