CLERKS, &c.—Duty on clerks repealed. The re-
peal extends to all riders or
,travellers, clerks, book-
keepers, office-keepers, stewards, bailiffs, overseers
or managers, shopmen, warehousemen, porters,
cellarmen, grooms, stable bOysand helpers employed
by livery stable keepers, horsedealers, postmasters,
or other persons licensed by the Commissioners of
Stamps to let post horses or carriages for hire.
The exemption extends also to persons who carry
out beer, but who occassionally wait on guests.
CARRIAGES. —The duty on carriages with less
than four wheels, drawn by one horse, and fomerly
taxed at 3/. Gs., then reduced to 1/. 10.., is now
totally repealed. This repeal affects carriages with-
out metal springs, constructed in the mode described
by the Act, without lining, and not exceeding the
value of 21/. ; and also common striae carts
with metal springs. In both cases, not to be
let or used for hire or profit, arid to have
the Christian and surname, place of abode and
occupation, printed in Roman characters on straight
lines, with white letters an inch in height on black
ground, or black letters on white ground, on the
bask pariel, on the off-side if any, or on the off-side
shaft. If it be a " common stage cart" for which
the exemption is claimed, such words must also be
painted thereon, in the same way.
MARKET GARDF.NERS.-Duty of 10s.repealed on
horses kept and used by market gardeners in their
trade.

Shepherds who gain a livelihood solely by such
occupation, and have a direct interest in the flock,
;pay keep a dog, not being a sporting dog, to tend
the same, without paying any duty.
The alterations and reductions take effect from
the sth April last, and therefore include all the
assessments for the present year; but the Act of
Parliament having passed so recently, the first and
principal assessments have been already made with-
out any reference to the now enactment.
