taming five or six MO, only one should be allowed.
The 149ries I estimate at 403,0001., ind_DpgA at

Soool. The next TAX I propose h on Curtides.
Why shou:d not Curricles pay the as tour.

. •
wheeled Carriage', as they answer the same purpose ?
I propose that a Cordele with• 2 wheels shall be ton.
sidered as a Carriage' with four wheels. There ate
another kind of Carriages which do not }gay Puty.

` They are ua,ed ,t%sl3bstit—uteti for chaises: I Miari
Gig are untaxed. I propose to put a small duty
tip2n them. There is another species of carriages,
jaunting Cars,, or the Irish Th'ey
form a great part of the luxury of -those who have
few other luxuries; the Tax, therefore, I shall pro.

pose upon them will be very light : I shall propose
ss. a piece. The whole of these duties, I expea,
will produce- ro,oool. a year. With resped to the
next Tax I propose, I am afraid some Gentlemen
will be 'angry. with Rte ; I copy the example: of.
England. It is 'well known that Bachelors pay:
'very little towards the ReVenne; I propose an
tion, of r rs..on.every Bachelor's Male Servant. This
will produce about +oool. The next Tax I have to
submit to the. Committee is on Paper, Hats, and Auc.
tions., This I exiled will produce rioppol. I pro.
pow to raise ia,oool. by a Tax on the Post-office..
An additional' Id. a letter. With revr3 to the Past
°lnce, I should mention, that it Is contimplatiOn to
recommend a measure for Jhe prevention of the fre.
(pent robberies of the Mails, by sending them in
coaches. The best mode of carrying this into effed
will be to recommend to Grand Juries ,to dired the.
_making propetroads through which the mail coaches
are to travel,. and with that vicar to take CIO that,
Surveyors axe appointed to make the roatfeas complete
as possible, and present those who negled theieduty:
By this mode we shall take no •money put 'of the
Public Treasury, and no more thati is absolutely, tie.
:cessary froM Luny iduaii. There is another tax which
I do not wish to-resort to dircEtly, hut it is necessary
I should mention it. I" need not remind Gentlemen,

- .
that in the year 1791 the Hearth Money Duties were
taken nIT the lower orders, and raised on the higher.
Houses that had one Hearth amounted to nearly
.eoo,ooo. There were comparatively very few
liguses that had two Hearths. The whole -loss to
the Public; by taking off the Tax, was zB,OOOl.
'What' }Wish to-do iitt not to revive the Tax,
but to lay a Tax on Houses under Seveh Win.,;.
dows.
,Where the persons inhabiting,them pay 50
shillings a year, the Tax I propose is es.—
•But to guard the'poor .man from being called on, he
must .swear he is not worth. tot., or does not rent
land to the apelltll Af SI. a year. In order to be liable
to rise Tax, he must pay 505. a year for his house,
or be'Avorth 'lOl. or rent el. a year inland. I can.
not think this will distress. any one. Gentlemen.. •
will see that we are aisitnilating ourselves' to Eng.
land. Instead of taxing liouses according to the
Hearths, we exempt them till they are rated at
seven Windows. This Tax will bring back .2,140001.
a year ; but then we
,Must dedu6l fiotioi. for flushes .
of five and' six windows, to be exempted as 'in Bri.
tain ;) so that the,surn I take Credit for-1315,0*0t.
These are, I di.*, the whole I have. to:ptupose,
except one, . which can only
.fall on those who are
able to hear .Taxes',.'• It is' a Tax of lel. pe'r
cent. on all window,' above seven. This I
e•;iiroate at 3 rioool. There is one. more. TAX
which, I estimate at 70,0001. It is.,by' an in.
Cr4filk. on Staircps LlCefleeS. With regard' to the
tdalri So-ercipostill,t r.tc9 at Dunes sou..
.slier ttay,... The LiCet3CCS .Wi 9, be tiiple,graiiteci to
' A utliOnee Bre wets,: and others. The "fax will
lee grit at all to: trade; Ope set cle Only
retnains, and thar is the Treasury *Bilk, which
no.provision for at. present ; but I Clop re.;
serve for A flittire day, when I think it necessary to
trouble the Cominittee. . •
There is one other subjed which I wish ter
titan, thing)) I do not-mean to propose it as a Fax.
at preeent. It certainly must be a. desirable -01,j,•et,
to both Countries to facilitate the intercoure be.
careen them. If the Packets bertveeti Dublin
-
and , Holyhead could ha so -arranged that • they'
could shit at low water, it would .be- a great
advantage. I think , a mai Duty might be
laid upon Cabin Passengers, which 'would produce..
About 31901. a-yea.r ;'and upon that a sufficient sum .
might be borrowed 1,0 make the necessary airera.
tioos in the, Harbour. This, however, 'will be
a su`hjed fps future consideration.
Tile produce of the Taxes Which I have enume.
.I rated I,estimate at .242,250 i. and the sum wanted
for.
_the leterest of the. Loan and Sinking Fund Was
155)6001.'which.leaves a, suf plus of aboet 70001.- I.
wilt not:accupy mote, of the• time of the' Committee
