Mr. GREEN said he had the honour to be deputed by a
large and influential parish, namely, the parish of St. Mary,
Islington, which paid a large sum of money to the window-
tax. They did not complain of it, however.only as a matter
of pounds, shillings, and pence, but because it was the parent
of disease and engendered crime. Mr. Green then quoted
t
passages from the report of the Board of Health to the effect
no sanitary measure can be tolerably complete while the
window-tax is in existence; and that a tax on light and air
is more vicious in principle than a tax on food. Hitherto,
Mr. Green proceeded to say, the complaints of the people
against this tax had been met by Government saying they
had no surplus. He was deputed now to tell the Chancellor
of the Exchequer that he had a surplus of more than three
millions, and his constituents expected an unconditional re-
peal of the window-tax. They claimed it because there had
been no faith kept with the people. It was a war tax, and
was to have been taken off in the time of peace. But not
only had it not been taken off. but the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequei, beiog Made of squeezeable maOrials, had increased
it 10 per cent.— (Cties of "Shame" and "Order.") Lord
Althorp took off the house tax, and promised that if addi-
tional windows were opened in houses, there :hould be no ad-
ditional tax in consequence. Many windows were thrown
open, and then Sir Francis Baring had a re-assessment made,
and parties were made liable for the additional windows. The
principle of the tax had been condemned by all parties.—
(Cries of" Time.") Well, they were there to call upon the
Chancellor of the Exchequer to do his duty, having the
means in his power to do it, and therefore be should conclude
by saying that it was the determination of those who sent
him there not to cease agitating till they got a total and un-
conditional repeal of the window tax.— (Hear, and Bravo.)
Mr. W. WILLIAMS—If you will promise to repeal this tax,
you will save yourself the hearing of sOO speeches.
Mr. J. WILLIAMS—ShaII we make that a condition and
say no more about it?—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.)
The CHANCELLOR of the ExcHeeeuita.—You knew per-
fectly well that if I intended to do so I could not say it. I
hope the gentlemen will be as brief as they can, as I ought
to be in the Cabinet at this moment, and there is really no-
thing to be said upon it that has not been already said by
Lord Duncan in the House of Commons.
Mr. GLEESON, who was deputed from St. James's, dwelt
on the inequality of the tax, saying that houses inhabited by
the poor paid window-tax to the amount of 26 per cent. on
the rental, while the houses of the nobility paid only 1% per
cent. The windows of many houses inhabited by the poor
were blocked up, and in St. James's, which was an aristo-
cratic parish, they were actually in fear of fever from this
cause. Much sickness was caused by it among the poor,
and the families were in consequence thrown on the parish,
which was thereby put to much additional expense. There
are 3,500,00 houses in the country, and only 4t0,000 pay
this tax, and the exemptions were in the country, where they
breathed the pure air. Then it should be remembered that
the removal of the tax would cause much employment to be
given in the making of additional windows.
Mr. NICHoLAY, the chairman of the delegates, remarked
that Government had stated times out of number that the
tax was indefensible in principle, and the people considered
that the time bad now arrived when they ought, in fairness
and justice to be relieved of it. This movement, which origi-
nated in elarylebone' had spread like wild-fire through the
metropolis. He had attended large and influential meetings
upon it, and if the Right Honourable Baronet had been pre-
sent he would have been, not only perfectly astonished, but
astounded. In fact, the only difficulty they had had was in
haying it all their own way.--(A laugh.)
Mr. FRASER, churchwarden of St. Pancras, urged the im-
portance, in a sanitary point of view, of abolishing the tax.
He was glad to admit that the present Government had
condi-
tion of the people, but as long as the window-tax remained
improving the sanitary shown themselves desirous of
unrepealed, he should doubt their sincerity. As an instance
of the oppressive and injurious operation of the tax, he stated
that not far from his own residence a Society for Improving
the Dwellings of the Poor had a building which contained
108 rooms. which were let in suites to different parties at
rents varying from 3s. 6d. to es. 6d., and the window-tax
amounted to eld. per week per suite of rooms, so that out of
a rent of 3s. 6d., sevoipence-farthinghad to go for window-
tax.—(Hear, bear.) Ile knew houses, the rent of which
was 1001. a year, in which, in order to keep down the num-
ber of windows, the water-closet, which ought to be the best
ventilated room in the house, had no window, but had a bor-
rowed light.
Mr. WHITMORE, also a medical practitioner, followed,
corroborating Mr. Fraser's statements as to the injurious
effect on health of' shutting out the light. It was well
known that an imperfect organization of animal life was the
consequence of the want of solar light. Shortly alter the
completion of the fortifications at Lisle, a number of poor
people took up their abodes in them. There was scarcely
any light, and the result was there were so many children
of stunted growth in the families who lived there, that the
authorities were compelled to cause them to leave their
dwellings.
Mr. FREEnt, one of the Marylebone delegates, spoke of
the great unpopularity of the tax in Marylebene, which he
was enabled to do from personal knowledge, being the re-
ceiver of the ground-rents of an estate, which comprised
aneighth
of housepart of
fth
prepopareisrhty% and being himself a consider-
able owner At a meeting at which he
was present a resolution was carried that if the tax were
not repealed their Members be instructed to stop the sup-
plies.—( Loud cheers.) That resolution was coupled with
the another,

He assured the Chancellor of the Exchequer that if he
imagined that, after this interview with him they should
return to their homes and let the matter rest, he was much
mistaken. en

tMilla the tax was repealed.rYlebone should sit, as
Mr. JAM NELSON (from St. James's) said they had
come there to state that they would no longer submit to this
tax. It was an unjust tax, seeing that of the 1,800,0001
which was raised by it only 300,0001. was paid by the aris-
tocracy, and that out of 3} millions of houses only 480,000
were taxed. And it was a wicked tax, because it shut out
light and air. They had come there also to state that they
would not submit to a commutation of this tax. They
would have it scratched out of the statute-book. Talk to
them of a commutation, while the slave squadron was con-
tinued ! Talk to them of a commutation ! He did not be-
lieve it. The Sanitary Association waited upon the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer last year with an absurd proposi-
tion, to commute this tax into a house-tax, and what was
his reply? " Go away: I believe you cannot deal with it
in that way. I have had numbers of propositions, but the
most impracticable of all is a house-tax." He (Mr. Nelson)
did not believe that Government would attempt to commute
this odious tax into a house-tax. They called upon Go-
vernment to remcve this tax, because, among other reasons,
they believed that by so doing they would loosen the
springs of industry and give great employment to building
operatives; and because, distinguished as the metropolis was
for its wealth and extent, it would in a few years be distin-
guished for its architectural beauty also, if they removed
this tax.
Mr. GEORGE, churchwarden of St. Ann's, said he repre-
sented a large parish in Westminster, in which this tax bore
on them with great inequality. There were twenty-one
houses in St. Ann's-court, each rated in that parish at 221. a
year, and fourteen houses in sol2olcluarei each rated at 11V.,

WOOLWICH, FEB. 6.—A portion of the Royal Horse Ar-
tillery and the field batteries, and also of each of the twelve
battalions, assembled at halt-past eight o'clock yesterday
morning, on the Guard Mounting-parade, to hear the sen-
tence ca a general court-martial read, of which the following
are the particulars:—
Field-Marshal the Commander-in-Chief having had the
honour to lay before her Majesty the Queen the proceedings
of the general court-martial holden at Woolwich Barracks
on the 30th of October last, and re-assembled on the 27th
of November followiug, for the trial of recruit gunner and
driver William Jones, 7th battalion Royal Artillery, who
was arraigned upon the undermentioned charges, viz.:-
1. For habitual drunkenness in having been drunk four
times within twelve months, viz. :—Oct. 3, 1849, at Wool-
wich; Feb. 24, 18',0, at Woolwich; June 21, 1850, at Wool-
wich; and Sept. 15, 1850, at Woolwich.
2. For disgraceful conduct on the said 15th of September,
1850, at Woolwich, in having then and there bit off part of
the ear of gunner and driver Thomas Ward Kelly, 7th bat-
talion Royal Artillery.
3. For having on the day and year last aforesaid, at
Woolwich, the❑ and there struck and ffered violence against
Sergeant Adam Clark, 7th battalion Royal Artillery, by
striking him with his fist, and for having then and there
spat in the face of Sergeant John Clark, his superior officers,
being then and there in the execution of their office.
4. For conduct to the prejudice of good order and military
discipline on the day and year last aforesaid, at Woolwich,
in having then and there resisted the escort which was mak-
ing him a prisoner, and in having then and there torn the
great coat of gunner and driver Michael Donlan ; 4th bat-
talion Royal Artillery, and in having then and there broken
a pillar of the guard bed.
Upon which charges the Court came to the following de-
cision : _ .

----- •
The Court having maturely considered the evidence in
support of the prosecution, together with what the prisoner
has urged in his defence, is of opinion, with regard to the
first charge, that he, the prisoner. recruit gunner and driver
William Jones, of Captain and Adjutant the Honourable G.
T. Devereux's detachment, 7th battalion Royal Artillery,
is Guilty.
With regard to the second charge, that the prisoner is
Guilty.
With regard to the third charge, that the prisoner is Guilty.
With regard to the fourth charge, that the prisoner is
Guilty.
The Court having found the prisoner guilty of all the
charges preferred against him, which being in breach of the
articles of war, and taking into consideration his general bad
character, do now sentence him, the prisoner, recruit gunner
and driver William Jones, of Captain and Adjutant the Hon.
G. T. Devereux's detachment, 7th battalion Royal Artillery,
to be deprived of one penny a day of his daily pay for the
period of two years, agreeably to the 82d clause of the
Mutiny Act ; also to the forfeiture of all additional pay whilst
serving ; and the Court do further sentence him, the prisoner,
to be transported as a felon for seven years.
Her Majesty was pleased to approve and confirm the find-
ing and sentence of the Court, and to command that the pri-
soner be transported accordingly beyond the sea, to such
place as her Majesty, by the advice of her Privy Council,
shall think fit to nominate and appoint.
The Master-General directs that the above be read to the
Regiment of Artillery at three parades.
(Signed) H. D. Ross, Dep. Adjutant-General.
Immediately after the parade yesterday morning the pri-
soner, William Jones, was marched by an escort, consisting
of ote non-commissioned officer and two gunners and drivers,
to the Millbank Penitentiary, where he would be banded
over to the authorities there, to have his sentence of trans-
portation beyond the seas carried into effect.
