INCOME TAT.,

This was the day fixed for the confiderttion of
Mr. WAITHMAN'i Mdtion to Petition Parliament
for a Repeal of the Income Tar. • •
Mr. Alderman ANDELSON informed the Court
that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had given
notice of his intention to Repeal the Tax, and
teemed on that account to think that any farther
proceeding was uttnecelfary: •
Mr. WAITHM AN reprobated this langaaga in
very fpirited terms, and contended that it •was
highly unconaitutional to fay that an individual
could do that which only retied with Parliament.
He was Annithed to hear that any Member of the
Houfe of Commons ()multi be fuprofed to poillx
a degree of influence futhcient to-controul us pro-
ceedings. . . -
Mr., Alderman ANpnesom .explained, that lie
merely alluded to the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer's intention to move for the Repeal.
After Mr. Aldermaa Comet had raid a few
words nu the duty of giving information to the
Court,

Mr. WAITHMAN again rote and entered into a
general view of the arguments againfl the Tax,
and argued that the aiihrance now Rated to the
Court was no obj:aion to the Petition. It was,
notwithfianding the intention communicated, high-
ly expedient that the Court thould exprefs their
detetlation of the Tax. It was nectfrary, betides,
that the efforts of the Minifter, if he really re,
garded the Tax as unconftitutional, fhould •be fe-
conded by the country. •
The fira Refohttion was then moved, ant fe-
conded by Mr. TARDY, who fpoke in warm terms
in favour of a fpirited Petition on the ruble.%
Mr. Hoonsom was on the fare fide, and fpoke
with. his Mind force againik the Tax. He was
particularly revere *jail. the inconfiflency be-
twixt the pr:fent and fog titer condtta of Come 1i . m-
bets of the-Court. w pointed on the fubjea
of the Manfion I-lonfe Meeting.
Sir RICHARD CAsi GLYN iltiended his conduft
in holding the Meeting, front the perilous Rate of
the country at that time.
After an able reply from Mr. WAITHMAH, the
Refolutions were put and unanimoufly agreed to.
The Court then adjourned.
