TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—I am one of that numerous class whose incomes
slightly exceed 150/. per annum, and am, of course, charge-
able with the sum of 4/. 75.6 d., no small sum to a poor man.
with a large young family. This odious tax has now lasted,
very nearly tour years, and finding I can no longer scrape
together sufficient to pay it, I haveldetermined on giving up
my seats at church, and removing one of my children from
the day-school, as the only means left me, with the present
high prices of provisions, of making both ends meet !
Pray, Sir, use your powerful aid to induce Sir Robert Peel
to relinquish this oppressive tax entirely, or at least to intro-
duce such a modification of it as will make it palatable to
persons of small incomes, who, comparatively, are worse off
than many of the working classes.
I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
London, Jan. 19, 1846. A POOR CLERK.
