The arguments in this pamphlet are so conclusive as
to the unequal working of the income tax, as regards in-
come and property, that we republish it, fully conscious
that it will convince any (if there be any) who may have

those who may wish to have it in a more convenient

Ch. of Ex.—l was desirous, sir, of consulting you con-

The thermometer at the Royal Humane Society's re-
ceiving-house in Hyde Park during Sunday night rose
from 16 deg. to 22 deg., showing only 10 deg. of frost.
At 9 yesterday morning the mercury rose to 30, being
only 2 deg. below freezing point, but at noon the glass
pointed at 37-5 deg. above frost. The barometer in-
dexed 29'66. The wand was east, and the weather was
overcast, with snow and sleet. Every precautionary weft.
sure was adopted by the Royal Humane Society to pre-
vent persons from venturing upon the ice in the different
royal parks, but several thousand persons, Dials and
female, insisted upon going upon it, and several nearly
lost their lives by so doing, as the following official re-
turns will show.
THE SERPENTINE, AND HYDE PARE.— The banks on
each side of this river yesterday were densely crowded
by the members of the nobility, gentry, and the general
public, whilst the carriage roads were crowded by the rich
equipages of the aristocracy. Upwards of 5,000 persons
ventured upon the ice iu this river, and several parties
amused themselves for hours in cutting out various de-
vices upon the ice, but the crowd congregated near the
best performers caused the ice to break, and the conse-
quence was that a gentleman named Dowell, who caine
from Bromley, in Kent, to enjoy a day's skating, broke
through the ice, and, together with a friend who accom-
panied him, became immersed in 12 feet of water at the
east end of the river. Fortunately the persons were
rescued by William Cox, one of the Royal Hu mane
Society's icemen, by means of the breaker ladders. They
were removed to the receiving-house, and after some
time they were able to go home. During the afternoon
the ice commenced breaking up, owing to the thaw set•
ting in so rapidly, and by the persuasion of Mr. Super
intendent Williams several thousands left off skating and
sliding; hut even as late as 8 o'clock last night a great
number insisted upon remaining, and in the event of the
frost continuing they stated that they intended to have
a grand pyrotechnic display and midnight match.
THE LONG WATER IN KENSINGTON-GARDENS. —On
each side of this ornamental water, yesterday, were seve•
ral thousand members of the nobility, whilst 2,000 dis-
ported themselves upon the ice, including several mem-
bers of the Skating Club. A great deal of excellent
skating lasted for hours; but whilst some parties wore
cutting out a variety of serpents and other figures the
spectators so crowded round the artists as to cau e the
ice to give way, and 11 persons became immersed in
seven feet of water. Mr. Walker, of 16, Norfolk-cres
cent, was rescued by Iceman Griffin with the sledge, at
some risk, and the others got out were able to go to
their respective homes.
THE ROUND POND, KENSINGTON-GARDENS. The
sliders and skaters upon this pond, yesterday, anaountt-d
to 1,500, but no immersion of any consequence occurred

terrace, however, fell on the ice and put his shoulder
out ofjoint. He was picked up by Joseph Knight, one
of the icemen, who placed him on the sledge and took
him ashore, when he was conveyed by some gentlemen
to his home.

A drover lad, who was engaged to drive a portion of
the cattle that belonged to Missenden, was celled as a
witness on his behalf, and he stated tbat on the morning
of the 9th November he found one more beast in the
drove than he bad placed in the field to pasture on the
previous night.
The Recorder summed up the evidence with great
minuteness, and the jury retired about 6 o'clock.
They were in deliberation nearly two hours, when
they returned into court and put some questions to the
learned judge as to certain points of the evidence, and
then again retired to their room. At ten o'clock they
were again brought into the court, and they then stated
that they bad agreed so far as Tornkins was concerned,
and their vezdict was that he was guilty upon the second
count of receivingthe heifer, knowing it to have been
stolen.

banks, the prisons, the police, the county courts, the Court
of Chancery, &c.
Ch. of Ex.—Very true; but consider the different na-
ture of their expenditure. You would not expose to the,
impertinent curiosity of the public gaze the amount re-
ceived by this or that official, disclosing the secrets of the
various departments ? It would be striking a blow at the
roots of oar political institations.
Sp.—l know it would, and shall take steps for promul-
gating my views on the subject.
Ch. of Ex. (in extremity of his agitation forgetting the
spiritual nature of his visitant)—l pray you, good sir, do
not act with precipitation in this matter ; I will speak to
Lord P—n ; a place at the Treasury Board could not he
more worthily occupied than by yourself. But stop—a
vacant Garter is at his disposal, and would doubtless be
offered for your acceptance.
Sp. (interrupting, with a hearty laugh)—A garter ! how
can a spirit's leg be invested with a garter ?
Ch. of Ex. (awaking to a sense of his position)--True, I
forgot myself for a moment ; a dignity of that kind would
be somewhat out of place.
Sp.--Of course it would. Such things possess no value in
the spirit world ; from the order of the Seraphim of Swe-
den down to the Garter of Great Britain, all such decora-
tions are alike worthless.

The Magistrate remarked that the banner bore upon
the face of it a falsehood ; no such number as that indi•
sated, nor anything like it, could be out of employ in
London and its immediate vicinity. That a great deal
of distress, however, existed there was no doubt.
Crabbe and two of the others said that they went to
the workhouse with many others on Thursday last, with
an understanding on the previous day that a rota of the
board was to be in attendance, in order that their com-
plaints might be made known by them, but that they
went and did not see the members of the board.
Mr. Tubbs said that he had made known to the Board
of Guardians all that had taken place at this court on
Wednesday last, when numerous complaints were made,
the man Crabbe being at the head of the party ; and
that the rota present, atter bearing the whole of the facts,
passed a resolution to the effect that they had full confi-
dence in him (Mr. Tubbs), and that they left the matter
in his hands, being satisfied that he, in the exercise of
his discret on, would ant properly in the responsible
situation which be held. Mr. Tubbs added that
on Thursday last he relieved no fewer than [2,053,
and on the next Saturday 2,200. Many of the
applicants who were strong, single men had been
offered work, but they refused to perform it, and it
would really be a robbery on the ratepayers to give
assistance to such persons, more especially when they
came mixed up with such a large body of others to make a
claim upon the parish. Such a state of things prevented
him (Mr. Tubbs) from transacting properly his business
at the house. With regard to seeing and relieving parties
well known to be i❑ distress, and who came to receive
money at his house regularly, the interruptio❑ to his
business since the present movement was great in the ex-
treme. If the men, who had come in a body to the court,
with their banner held up, as it had been stated, parad-
ing through the streets, would attend at the workhouse
on the next morning (this day) their cases would be in
dividually gone int.,.
Mr. Broughton remarked that he was extremely sorry
that so much distress existed among the working classes
at the present inclement season, and advised the men to
go to the workhouse at the time appointed by Mr. Tubbs,
and conduct themselves there in a civil and peaceable
manner.

The Recorder then inquired of the jury whether there
was any reasonable probability of their agreeing upon a
verdict as to the other prisoner t

The Foreman said they were not at present all of one
opiniOn, but he thought that in about an hour they might
agree.
The Recorder said, that although it was late he would
willingly wait another hour, if they were likely to come
to a decision within that period.
The jury then again withdrew, and at five minutes
past 11 they again came into court, and upon the Re-
corder inquiring if they had agreed upon their verdict as
to the prisoner Missenden, they stated that they had
not, and there was no likelihood of their doing so.
The Recorder said that under tkese circumstances he
had no alternative but to adjourn the Court to the fol-
lowing morning.
The Foreman of the jury said that he really felt very
ill, and he wished to know whether he was to be kept
without food or nourishment of any kind for so many
hours !

Explanation of Table.--The life income of 1501. of a per-
son aged 60 is worth 1,3411., and he is taxed on that valise
at the rate of 14s. 11d. per cent. As, however, men are
generally incapacitated for active exertion before death,
a column has been added, with the value of incomes at
various ages, determinable at fire years before death
(which period is assumed as the average period of incapa-
city) ; the income of the same person, aged 60, will, upon
this assumption, be worth 1,1641., and he will be taxed at
the rate of 17s. 2d. per cent. ; a similar income in the
Funds (see Table I.) is taxed at ss. 4d. per cent.
By the above Tables I. and 11. the values of incomes for
periods certain, and also of precarious incomes, may be
approximately ascertained, and the effects of the Income
Tax upon them may be contrasted.

Ch. of Ex.—But, sir, "what's in a name ? a rose," you
know, "by any other name will smell as sweet."
Sp.—Tou will never make your tax sweet, call it by what
name yen will it stinks in the public, nostrils. But let
that pass; only we will, if you please, call it by its right
name, " a Tax on Profits."
Ch. of Ex.--But is it not in fact a property tax ?
Sp.—No, sir. Is your brain property. Is ingenuity
property ? Professional skill, literary excellence, plodding
well directed industry, are these property ?
Ch. of Ex.—No, sir, not in a commercial sense; but we
tax property also.
Sp.—You do, the profits arising from property, but very
gingerly. You lay burtheus, heavy and grievous to be
borne, on the profits of industry, but property hardly
touches them with one of its fingers.
of Ex.—Will you explain to me how the Property
and In—l mean, tax on Profits does this ?
Sp.—Listen, then, and I will instruct you. The Income
Tax, as you call it, is a masterpiece of statecraft, originally
invented by the late William Pitt ; it is a contrivance of
surpassing ingenuity for extracting the largest possible pro-
portion of money from the pockets of the industrious and
intelligent creators of wealth, in order that a proportionate
immunity from taxation may be enjoyed by the possessors
of wealth ; it is a tax upon the working bees of the social
hive for the relief of the drones. The deep ingenuity of
the contrivance consists of two things ; first, the artfulness
by which it deludes its victims into the belief that
they are taxed equally or proportionately with other
classes of society; and, secondly, the facility with
which it extracts the money from the pockets of
various classes in precisely the inverse ratio of the
amount of property possessed. In these respects I can
only compere it to a hat which travellers wrote of in my
day as
unconscio infesting sornii southern climes, which lightly fanned

them.

Ch. of Ex.—Assuming, however, that a tax by way o
substitute should be required, what tax do you recom
mend ?

Sp.—A Property Tax.
Ch. of Ex.—But have you not demonstrated the diffi-
culty of levying such a tax fairly ?
Sp.—Not at all. I required you to demonstrate that
your Income Tax was, in one sense a Property Tax; not an
equal tax on the value of property, but a graduated sliding
scale Property Tax, the gradation of the taxation being in
a ratio inverse to the amount of the property. Confound-
ing the produce of skill and labour with the interest aris-
ing from realised property, and then ignoring all those
differences in the value of property arising from the dura-
tion of the income taxed, I endeavoured to convince you
that your tax was a masterpiece of injustice. What I now
propose as a property tax is a very different thing ; by that
term I mean an equal tax on the value of all realisable
property in the country, so that if 1001. shall pay 11., then
1,0001. will pay 10/., and 10,00 W. will pay 1001. This tax
being levied upon fair principles, there could be no diffi-
culty in making all contribute; whereas you now exempt
a large proportion of the property of the country, viz., that
which belongs to owners of property up to about 3,0301.
in value*—while you inflict the tax in its moat oppres-
sive form upon men living by labour of hand or brain,
and who have not 101. worth of property in the world.
Ch. of Ex.—Bat such a tax will drive property from the
country.
Sp.—lt cannot drive away the land, or houses, or facto-
ries, or funds, or mines, or railways ; such fears are alto-
gether delusive. Let me ask, however, have you uo fears
lest British industry, skill, and enterprise should seek
more congenial treatment than they receive under your
paternal management ? What would be the value of land,
where would the wealth of England be, or how would you
raise your taxes, if British skill and enterprise should make
themselves wings and fly away ?

The Recorder said he was very sorry that the jury
should be so inconvenienced, but the law gave him no
alternative. If there was any chance of their agreeing
he would wait any reasonable time.
The Foreman said he did not think there was any
chance of their coming to a decision. Ten of the jury
were of one opinion ; but all the arguments used by them
only appeared to convince the other two that they were
in the right.

The Recorder said he had no right, by law, to do
more than to ask if they had agreed upon their verdict,
and as they were not likely to agree, the case Haut be
adjourned.

The jury were then locked up for the night.

- -
NEW COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)
Henry Myatt, 29, clerk, was indicted for embezzling
sums of money belonging to John James Noyes, his
master, amounting in the whole to about 601.
Mr. Giffard prosecuted.
The prosecutor is a tea-dealer in Finsbury, and pri-
soner had been his traveller for fro years, at a salary of
1/. 4s. weekly and 31. s month. The connection which
prisoner had the management of was amongst coffee-
house-keepers, and the sums in question had been paid
to him on account of his master. The prisoner had also
in several instances robbed the prosecutor of parcels of
grocery, by bringing home fictitious orders.
The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sen-
tenced to 12 months' imprisonment.
George Hall, a boy 13 years of age, pleaded guilty to
having unlawfully wounded Moo Wolff.
It appeared that prisoner bat' insulted prosecutor,
man grown, who boxed his ears for so doing, whereupon
he stabbed him in two places, the latter wound inflicted
being prevented from entering the abdomen by the inter-
vention of the short rib.
The Common Sergeant said that the case was a very
bad one, and the only thing in the prisoner's favour was
his extreme youth, otherwise the sentence would have
been very severe, as the Court as determined to do alt
in its power to check the practice of using the knife.
Sentence, 3 months' imprisontOent and hard labour.

Mr. Tubbs said that in the event of their acting up to
his Worship's advice relief would be afforded, more espe-
cially to those who had wives and families.

THE REGENT S-PARIL—A vast number of persona of
persons of both sexes proceeded to this park at an early
hour in the morning, to witness or to enjoy the exhila-
rating «xercise of skating. No accident worthy of notice
occurred during the day.
The Victoria Park had many hundred visitors, who
disported themselves upon the ice, and several "persons
got severely cut about the head, but no immersion of
any serious character occurred.
CLAPHAM PARK.--The ice in this park was in a Toy
firm condition, and several hundreds amtred themytelvt
upon it during the day ; and the only accidrnts that
occurred were to two gentlemen, who had their legs
broken by being tripped up upon the ice.
At half-past ten o'clock last night the thermometer
began rapidly to fall, indicating that the frost was likely
to continue.

The large assembly then quietly dispersed from the
precincts of the court, and Mr. Broughton proceeded
with the ordinary business of the day.

On the Ist inst., at Peckham, the wife of Mr. J. B.
Haycraft, of the Unity General Assurance Association.

THAMES.—John Rano, an ablebodied man, aged 49
(as stated in the police-sheet, but who did not look so
old), was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with
begging. The prisoner was described as a labourer, of
No. 6, Love-lane, Sbadwell.
John Bivand, a police constable, No. 17 K, stated that
be saw the prisoner and 12 or 13 others each carrying a
new shovel, soliciting alms in Stepney. The prisone.r
went into a butcher's shop in Bedford-street, while Ids
companions surrounded the house, and the raster of the
shop gave him a penny. He then took the prisoner
into custody.
Ar. Yardley said this was the commencement of the
week, and the prisoner bad been very properly taken
into custody. If the prisorierand his companions went
about In large bodies soliciting alms, or singly, they
were liable to be committed to prison as rogues and
vagabonds. The conduct of the prisoner was very
much aggravated by his going about with others in a
body. That looked very much like rotiandation, and a
person who would refuse to give alms when solicited by
one man would most likely, when 12 or thirteen sur-
rounded him, submit to force. He would tall the pri-
isoner, and through him his fellow-inen, that proceedings
like those could not be tolerated ; and that if he found
that large bodies of men went about soliciting alms
armed with shovels, or any other implement of trade, he
would punish them severely, and commit them for a long
term to the House of Correction and tck hood labour on
the treadmill. The magistrate, observing the prisoner
about to speak, said he knew what he was going to say.
He knew there was a good deal of distres , consequent
principally on the want of employment, in existence.
Some of that distress was inevitable, and a good deal of
it was caused by the improvidence of the labouring
classes, who would not lay by for a rainy day. He had
only to say that any repetition of this would be severely
