FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 1802.

EAMER, MAYOR,

In a Meeting or Assembly of. the Mayor, Aldermen, and
Liverymen of the several Companies of the City of Lon-
don, in.CoMmon Hall assembled, in the Guildhall of the
said City, on Thursday, the 18th day of March, 1802. '
Resolved,
THAT it appears to this- Common Hall, that the
A. Tax. upon Income is highly partial and oppressive in
its operation, no discrimination whatever being Made between
the temporary, precarious, and fluduating incomes arising
from the personal exertion of individuals in trade, .annuities,
&c. and the incomes' proceeding from landed and funded pro-
perty.
Resolved unanimously, That the saitTax has already pro-
duced many serious evils; and has been one great cause of the
excessive high price of all the necessaries of life, as well also
as the rapid and enormous increase of the Poor Rates through-
out the kingdom.
Resolve& unanimously, That the powers vested in the.
Commissioners, before whom men are compelled to make a
degrading disclosure of their most private concerns, esta-
blishes a dangerous inquisition never befote attempted in this
country, harassing and vexatious to individuals, and repugnant
to the l'ree principles of the British Constitution.
Resolved unanimously, That the said,Ttx is destrulive to
the morals of the people, by holding out rewards for decep-
tion, and even perjury itself.
Resolved, 'I hat the said Tax is so odious and offensive in
its principle, and so hostile to the liberties of the people, that
no modification whatever can render it either equitable, just,
or practicable.
- Resolved unanimously, That a petition be presented to the
Honourable House of. Commons for' an immediate repeal
thereof.

Resolved unanimously, That the. said Petition be fairly'
transcribed, signed by two Aldermen and six Liverymen, and
presented to the HonOutable the House of Commons by

sentat►ves in Parliament. .
Resolved unanimously, That the Representatives for this
City in Parliament be instructed to suppOrt the, same, and
any. Motion or Motions which may be made for the repeal of
the said Tax.
Resolved, That every constitutional effort be made for the
purpose of obtaining a repeal of:this oppressive a►td inqui-
sitorial Tax ; and that we do earnefrstirreoommend meetings
to be held in the City of Westminster and Borough of
Southwark, as well also as throUghout :he Country, for the
purpose of effeding so desirable an objet.
