were often obliged to bane recourfe to it, would he
much affeaed by the propofed addition. He recom-
mended an exemption in favour of fuch perfons, on
the fame principle on which an exemption was grant-
ed under the Property and other Taxes.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
Paid, that he thould not at prefent enter into a difcuf-
Goa of the merits of this props:dation. He fhould only
obfetve, that if the Noble Lord's argument was
adopted, it would be impoffible to bring fnrward a
tax that Ihould be received—for no ter, however ge-
nerally good, could be free from Tome particular ob-
jettions. The objeaions, however, Dated by the
Noble Lord, were not applicable to the general prin-
ciple of this tax. The Refolution was agreed to.
An amendment was introduced, on the motion of
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, into the Refolu-
tion refpeaing Coffee, which renders the flock of that
article on hand imported previous to the Isth
(silica to the new tax.
Upon the Refolution being read, relating to the
Tax on Cider and Perry,
Mr. BASTARD Rated, that, according to infor-
mation which he had received this day, Cider was,
in confequence of an alteration made by the Excite
in the courfe of the loft year, rated from the nomi.
sal Duty of SOS. to ais. per
.hognsead. Whit the
propofed addition, therefore, it would be fubjea to
. per hogisead. He hoped, however, that the new
Duty would not attach to the flock on hand.. If it
&mid be fo propofed, he declared his intention to
oppofe it.
The Refolution was agreed to, as were the others,
and Bills ordered accordingly.
