to yield about 1,C90/ , and in every subsequent act dow❑
to 1809 the amount to be collected was for six ministers.
In 1809 a change took place, and the magistrates and
ministers to ied to get the tax each for themselves. The
former, however, were successful, and they bad to levy
the tax and pay the six ministers their six per cent.
The House bad heard a great deal said with reference
to this tax having been exiAenee for 200 years, but he
happened to be in business in 1810 in Edinburgh, when,
to his surprise, and that of the inhabitants, they found
the tax for the first time laid on the citizens. The tax
'taw raised solely and entirely on the occupiers of hou.es.
Having shown the unhallowed heritage of the tax, he
proposed to speak of its fruits in the shape of burthens.
This tax was now double the amount of the present in-
come tax, and supposing a man to have an income of 3001.
ho would pay 61. ss. per annum,when, if be lived in a house
worth 501. a•year he had to pay double that amount. Toe
tax was levied upon all tenants, and also upon charitable
institutions. The tax produced about 10,6671, of which
about 2,2871. were paid by the followers of the Church,
and the balance, about 8,0001., by parties who had
really no interest in that Church. Two-thirds of the in-
habitants of Edinburgh did not belong to the Church,
and many believed it was contrary to the Gospel to pay
this tax, and that in doing so they were doinsz something
like compounding a felony. In one year 846 psrsons
were prosecuted for not paying the tax. lie was unab'e
to state how many had their goods soil ; but five were
imprisoned for not paying the tax. He read the opinion
of Dr. Arnott, of the High Court of Scotirn I, and semis
others, who believed the tax was bad, and should Le
abolished—that it was injurious to religion, but they
objected to the Vex being removed unless a substitute to
the full amount was provided. The church rates of
England was a very small evil compared with the col-
lection of the tax in Scotland. The house had very
properly passed a hill for the abolition of the church-
rates, and on a former session they abolished minister's
money in Ireland. They were not bound to provide an
equivalent for this tax. He proposed as a substitute
this bill.
