the the of Henry VIII. to the reign of Queen Anne, and he
(Mr. Huskisson) had expected, in consistency with that argu-
Nent, that he wished for an Act to reduce the rate of interest to
4 per cent. ; but those laws bad not forced down the rate of in-
terest—in fact, they had done little more than follow the mar-
ketrates. He could not understand the argument that money
was the only thing which paid no taxes ; undoubtedly gold
and silver were not taxed, but income, whether it was de
rived from land or from capital, equally contributed to the
state.

Sir ROBERT HERON was against the proposed change
of the law. He was assured it would be ruinous to the landed
interest.

T. WILSON said a few words against the measure.
Sir JOHN SEBRIGHT was favourable to the measure,
and begged, as a landed proprietor, to return his thanks to the
"on. and Learned Gentleman for ying brought it forward.
111 r. BA RING supported the measure, on which he had never
entertained but one opinion since he had been capable of form-
ing an opinion on such subjects. He had no share in bringing
the treasure before the House, but he entertained a firm con-
viction that it was for the benefit of all classes of the com-
munity, and he should therefore give it his warmest support.
The great argument of the night appeared to him to be this—
that tne borrower would be at the mercy of the lender ; but
there was no more foundation for such an opinion than that the
buyer of corn was to be at the mercy of the seller. Did they
not find, in fact, that at t'ie present moment the lender was
obliged to come down from sto 4 per cent. ? Upon the free-
dom of capital depended the freedom of all other branches of
trade ; and if the house were disposed, as they appeared to be,
to return to the free principles of trade, there was no branch
in which it was so essential as in the circulation of capital.—
It had been said that money had been sent to India, and ten
or 11 per cent. exacted for it. But what had been the result ?
\VII, that interest of money has come down there to 5 per
c ent., and the people of India had derived a great benefit, which
they could not have had if there had existed any restrictions.
It was said there was a want of capital in Ireland, and if no one
shall have more than 5 per cent., then capital will not go to
Ireland.
