IRIS 4 IMPORT DUTI6II.

On the motion for the fecond reading of the Irifa.
Impost Duty Btll,
Mr. DAWSON propofed that the fecund reading
might be deferred to fume other clay. This was the
Irith Holiday, and not many Menshers of that part
of the United Kingdom were preknt ; he therefore
hoped, that although admiring the expeditious dili-
gence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer for Ireland,
Ibis Bill would not run poll balk through the Houfe..
Mr. FOSTER obferved, that if the prefent was a
Rage of the Bill in which any debate could be expe&-
eds he would not have moved the fecund reaciing
then ; but not imagining that any of the Hon. Gen-
demen walled to debate the principle of the Bill,'
'which was that of granting the fupplies, he faw no
good reafon for the delay. And it was a little whim-
fical to with to keep the national feflival by delaying
the fupplies to Ireland ! &fides, this was the 18th
of March, and the fupplies all fall on the 25th, fo
that the delay would be really dangerous.
Mr. KER was in favour of delay, and was pro-
ceeding to remark, that the tax was odious, vexatious,
impolitic, and unwife ; when he was called to order.
Al er a •few words in explanation from Meffrs.
Corry, Ker, and the Speaker, the Bill was now read a
fecond time,and ordered to be committed to-morrow..,
