The Collector of the King's taxes, who decamped
lately, and was since taken into custody, has re-
funded 4,600 t. of the money he had previously re-
ceived. It is said that he had collected sooo .on the
house and window taxes, and 2000/. on the property
duties. As a certain time is allowed for people of
this description to make up theit accounts, it is sup-
posed that, on his refunding the money, the. parish
will not prosecute the culpnt.
