Mr. ABBOT laid, that' when he had the honour
of bringing forward the confideration of the Pub-
lic Finances of this Country latt, it occurred to
him that thole of Ireland fhould be brought for-
ward in a limilar manner for inveftigation, that
the flare of Finance of the Empire at large might
clearly appear before the Houfe. For this pin,
pole he had framed feveral Motions, ciaffed tincltr
everal heads, and made as fpecific as the nature
bf the fubjefts appeared to him to require, of which
their fubitance was, that of fiiewing the Income,
the Expenditure, the Trade, the Debts, the Ar-
rears, the Balances in the hands of Public Ac-
countantsoflreland, &c. fo that din whole Financial
affairs of Ireland (Mould appear before the Houle
in the fame manner as thofe of England were.—
He then moved;

That there be laid before the Houfe an Account of the
Total Amount of the Income of Ireland for the Year ending
on the cth Jan. !Sot, fo far as it can be made up or eltimated,
the net from the grofs Proceeds, dr.c.

Or. the elLueltion for the fecund reading of the Additional
Stamp Duty-Bill,

Mr.Hossousc hid be had foe= obfervadons to nuke on
tills Bill, which be would not do in (o thin a Houfe, but which
he &avid take up in fome other Rage of it, of which opportu-
tides would be afforded.

Mr. Ron ohkrred that it was not ufual to debate the prin.
dple of a Mg after the [mond reading.

HORS& DUTY.
On the motion for the fecond reading of the
Horfe Duty Bill,
Mr. josi.tvrs Paid, he was of opinion the addi-
tional tax upon pleafure horfes would caufe fo
much retrenchment as to be unprodutive; and
that the tax upon horfes ufed in agriculture was
impolitic, and would fall peculiarly hard upon
thofe farmers who, from the flinty nature of their
ground, could not ufe oxen. He was anfwered
by
Mr. Ross, who.thought the tax upon plcafure
horfes would fall fo lightly as not to be felt, or
caufe the (mallet inconvenience; and that the tax
upon bodes ufed in agriculture would have the
double effea of increafing the revenue and encou-
raging the ufe of oxen, affcrting at the fame time
that the latter might be tired upon any ground,
and would frequently draw waggons upon the
roads fatter than horfes. _ _

Mr. jotitrra and Mr. Rosa having f,:verally
explained, the Bill was read a fecond time, and
committed for Tuefday.

POST•OFFICE DUTY.

On the qucftion for the fecond reading of the
Pol-Office Ditty Bill,
Mr. ALLAZDYCE thought it a great hardfhip up-
on the inhabitants of the Northern parts of the
kingdom, that the propofed duty upon letters
should increafe progreffively with the diftance they
were fent, conceiving the Corn of the duty ought
to be the fame whatever might be the defiance.
The &tact& thought the fuggeftion of the Hon.
Member not perfeetly relevant to the Bill, as it
went to the complete alteration of the original duty
voted by the Committee ofWays and lkflean s, which
could only be done by another Committee ofthat
defeription, and to which the Committee on the
preterit Bill were not competent.
Mr. Attaanyci explained, and after a few
words from Mr. Rote, the Bill was read a fecond
time and committed.
