cancuired in many of the remarks made by the titm.
Baronet, and particularly in that in which he rather

recommended that old laws should be enforced, thasi
:hat new taxes should be imposed. Much had been ;
~:1;c1 of the great increase of expence in the manage-
ment of the revenue, bit• it had not been recollected, or '``•
at least not stated, that many causes produced this rf- -
feet,and among others the increase of the salariesol the -
Officers of the Customs and the purchase t f land fur .
the improvement of the Docks of Dublin, both of
which had Absorbed a sum of not less than 41.00,001. .
The Post-Office hitherto had nut produced any protiT,
although tl:e expenditure was charged as a fart cif
the managentau of the revenue. Last year the r.
venue had beex collectel at a less per =cage than
during the year p: eceding. As to the eat upon leather,
'so long dwelt upon, it should not be forgotten that it
was confessed on all hands that great frauds existed,
which it was'impossible to prevent without a complete •
change of system, as the Right Honourable Baronet
h id ourself frequently coidessed.—With regard to
the productiveness of tic taxes recently imposed, he
notill asl. Sir John Newport, whether the imposts he
had resorted to when in office had produced the full
4tl.()l:nt he expected ?—f Hear, hear, from Sir John
Newport.)—He was harpy to tint that he had been
more fartunate than the preceding or succeeding Go-
vernments. The frauds complained of did net surety
deserve as much impora:tce se ins attached to them,
because, although he was far from advocating these
practices, it WAS knower to be a fact, that the salaries
of the revenue officers were in general so inadequate
that they were compelled to resort to them a-. a
mzaus of obtaining a livelihood ; they were universal,
and had prevailed during many years.
The several resolutions were then put.and agreed to.
111114.11 BUDGET.
1 Mr. `WELLESLEY POLE stated, that the sup...
' ply required amounted to 5e13.902,000; their re-
mained due of the con:ributios for the year 1811, a
sum amounting to X 1,791,000 ; the quota fen- the*
year 1612 amounted to ,C 7,811,000 ; the interest of
the total debt was 1C14496,000, making in all.
E 13,902.000. The Ways and Means he should pro.
pose to meet this supply were, first, the surplus of the
Consolidated Fund, amounting to 82,755,000; the
net revenue for the last year was 83,171,000, which
Ihe would takeat ,C 1,300,000 ; the produce of the
; taxes for the last half year amounted to £109.000, .
to which was to be added 810,003. art ing from the
I repeal of the bounties on retailed spirits,'which, with
1 the tobacco and other duties, made a net riorettue di
£4,170,000, to which was to be added the L Itteries,;
t which he took at £162,000, which, including the
payment of seamens' wages, made a sum total of:
813,982,000, giving an excess is the Ways/and
Means of £Bo,boo over the Supply, which he pro.,
posed to raise by doubling the duty.of 25.. 61. per
gallon on spirits. The Hon. Gentl:mao then wentinto.
a long vindication of the zeal and assiduity of the
Irish Government in their efforts to enforce s
faithful and cheap collection of the Irish revenue.
He hoped his statement was uaderatood, for he twat
exceedingly anxious to spew to the. Hon. Daroott'on
the other side of the HouSe, that the revenue hail
neither been neglected nor Mismanaged.
S'r JOHN NEWPORT said he had always made
his statements okeatly i he had' never Made observa-
tions violent or vinelictiVe; and he was mit accustomed
to be vilified in xuch a manner. .
Mr. WELLVSLEICPOLErepIied,, that he had
