'LAND TAI.
. Mr. HUME moved for au Abbtraet of the Allowance of
Poundage granted to the Clerks of the Commissioners of Land
Tax, on that portion of the tax which had been redeemed, specify-
ing the total amount. He begged to remark that the clerks ap-
peared to have received the same poundage lately as they were
accustomed to when the whole duty was to be collected. The
Land Tax had formerly amounted t0C2,000.000,0f which about
£BOO,OOO had been redeemed, but the Clerks of the Commis•
stoners still received poundage on that which had been so re-
deemed, as well as on what remained to be collected. lie then
noticed the arrangements made wish respect to the Receivers-
General. One Gentleman had been a Receiver for five-and-
twenty years, without performing the duty himself. This bll-
vidual had lately been made Receiver for the County of Middle-
sex. He supposed lie meant in future to perform that duty
which hehad hitherto left to others. Ile had to mention that
an offer had been suzde to manage the whole collection fur the
City of London for..ft,4C9, and to give any security that could
be required. This offer had been refused, and two officers had
been appointed, with an'expensive office establishment, which
created a total charge of more than .€,3000 for that duty which.
a most respectable individual had offered to perform for 41,400
per annum. This was but one of many instances .iu which the
country had 'not fair play.
Mr. LUSH IN GTON had tin objection to the production of
the papers moved for. When the lion. Gentleman should think '
proper to go into the details connected with the subject, hesbould
be very happy to meet him. The Government had acted with
the greatest economy, and had done wisely to throw aside the
application to which the lion. Gentleman had alluded.
The motion was then agreed to. • -
