FINANCE OF IRELAND

Mr. HoExousE brought up the. Report of the
Committee relative to the continuance of certain.
Duties in Ireland, and of certain Laws, for the bet-
ter collection of the Revenue, which was read.

On the question being put, for agreeing with the
first Resolution for continuing certain Duties in
Ireland,

Mr. FOSTER said he should not then oppose the
Motion, as the time was so short before the Duties
would expire, but he wished to give notice that
he should take a future opportunity of entering
mare at large into the subjed.
Mr. CORRY said, that after hearing the obser-
* nation of the Right Hon. Gentleman,. he could not
-avoid being desirous of. recalling the attention of-the
House to the a-that state' of the case.' This mea-
surehad nothing to do with any Vote of.Sopply of
the present Session,- it had no conneCtion with the
Supply, nor was it in any manner dependant on it ;
and any observation of his Right Hon. Friend tend-
ing to limit the continuance of these,Duties to the.
duration of any Vote of Supply passed in that House,
must be irrelevant. He wished his Right Hon.
Friend would bend himself more to the forms of
that House, as he woulj then find not only that
/they were Materially .different, in this respell, to
those of another House ; but that his observations,
of which he had given notice, and which related-to
a pointof fortn,-would be wholly irrelevant.
Mr. FOSTER said, the Right,Hon. Gentleman
could not call his observations irrelevant, until he
had heard them. He should certainly pay every
attention to the forms of that House, but he could
assure the Right Hon. Gentleman, that he should
never oppose any measure of importance, merely on
account of a point of Form. He thought that two
months would be an amply saficient time for these
Duties to be continued, as within that period the
subjed might be taken up and discussed at large.
There were no docunients at present. before the
House, or the Public, by means of which the propriety
of the present measure-could be estimated. Ile did
not wish to antiCipateany of his arguments Upon the
subject, but as it was a matter of the greatest ini_
portances involving an investigation into the State
of Ireland, he should certainly, at a future opppr-'
tunity, enter at large, into its discussion.
The Resolution was then agreed to, as was also
the other Resolution for continuing the Laws re-
lative to the better colledion of the Revenue in
Ireland.

- Mr. CottßY presented an Account from the Corn
missionerS for the Redudion .of the National Debt
in Ireland, of the progress.made in the redudion of
the same, which Account, 'he said, was ordered by
an Ad of the Irish Patliament.—Ordered.to lie on
the. Table. '

SIX PER. CENT. DUTY IN IRELAND.

Mr. CORRY said, beheld in hisiland a Petition
from certain:persons resident in Dublin, who were
Importers, and also Retailers, •in that City, and
were, therefore, subjed to a duty of 6 per Cent.
upon the Goods: imported by them, which they felt
to be a grievous burden, and therefore prayed to be
relieved from. He moved for leave to .bring up
the Pctition.—Ordered. -
The Petition being brought up and read,

- Mr. CORRY said he should merely then move

for it to lie on the Table, but he took that oppor-
, tunity of giving notice, that he should, -at a future
period of tic Sessions, .move to refer the Petition to,
a Committee.
Sir WILLIAM ELFORD said, he did not mean
to ol:jed to the Petition lying on the Table, but be
Aid no-t- I..eP -11•• tAliea a it. - The Petitioners were
Retailers as well as Importers, they derVed the
benefit ;4. both occupations, and he did not see why
.they should petition to be relieved from the duty
attached to only one of those occupations.
Mr. CORAY said, he trusted he should be able
to explain the objeEt of, the Petition satisfaCtorily
to the Hon. Baronet, whenever it was regularly
discussed; but at present he must decline entering
into any explanation upon the stibjeCt, as the Hon.
BaroneLhad been irregular in his observation.
Adjourned at half-past four till Monday.
