Board of Taxes. This he would affirm from '
knowledge of the great pains-they had taken to
vent their Officers doing any, thing wrongly. 1-'e
thought even the Hon. Mover could be,satisfiecl,
that there could be no good in producing the por"s
-relating to this last transabion, as the geevalce
sought to he remedied would be met by a Bill.
Sir J. COTTER ELL was averse to a motion on tbe
subjeb, till the Bill vas before the House.
Mr. HURST-had long acted as a Commissioner/.
and declared that he had always found the Board °!,
Taxes attentive to their duty, and accommodating
to the Commissioners—that be thought
,the Gen'
tlernan at the head of that Board remarkable for loge
knowledge of business, his anxiety to discharge th
funetions of his office uprightly and well ; and that
no man could be found whO would
execute that
difficult task so well.
Lord FOLKSTONE urged Mr. Grenfell to
persist
in his motion ; and intimated that it might be pro*
per to follow it up by a Committee, &c,
Mr. SHAW LEFEYEE Opposed the motion on tli,e,
ground ofMr. Perceval's °
plan—but agreed that
regulation of the time of surcharging was necessarP
Mr. TOMPSON said he had abed as a Comm's;
sioner, bad found the Tax Board always dischargilla
its duty properly, and, in 'his opinion giving waY,t°
Commissioners too soon.
' But as to the inferi°,•
i
officers he had seen no instance 'olmiscondub ;
he had seen a very long list of swcharges,- but 'l'
knew the persons wbo were the objets of &Ill,'
and bad he been the Surveyor, he should ha%
thought it his duty to charge them higher than was
done.

I Mr. BABBINGTON said, that he thought one Old
servation made by-the Hon. Mover should not past
without notice. He had, ssaid that there Was 3
System of vexation awed upon through.the couutrY
which would lead, the people to Complain that their
grievance was past endurance. He would not deaf
that -there might.be some ad s_of the Survey ors Which'
were unjustifiable, and he believed it would be inle
possible to find in any set of men peneffly proper
condua—bUt that there was a system of vexation he
must disbelieve, because he had known somethlit
of the execution of this,Acf, and had seen a very
Aitfcrent,condua on the part of the Otfic,rs• jbe
Hon. Gentleman must allow him to think that no;
thing could be more calculated to create a feeling cil
dissatisaction in the peoplothan to 'find that wiiist
some were paying cheerfully their fair portion °f
tax, others were suffered to escape. This would be
injustice, and the it
House should take caue bow I.
joined in a cry of vexation which mignt check the
just and eqqal asses-ment of the taxes, and leave the
hi/nester part of the comthunitv to bear not orlY
•
their own fair bunbens, but those also. which
'etadtd by such :as were not so ready to pay their
proper share.
Mr. GRENFELL made a few liberal observations
in explanation, and begged leave to wi bdraw the..
motion.

Accounts have been received from Lisbon by the
G:eaner, which state, that Lord WELLINGTON
had made a movement in advance, with his whole
army. The secrecy which always prevails with
tespe& to all the intended operations of that gallant
General, renders it difficult to fo.in a conjecture as
to the point to which I.e will irect his march ;
but it was supposed that his Lordship was wham--
