The Irifh Tax Bill was read a first time ; and on the question

Sir J. NEWPORT objected to it: he complained of the pro-
ceding which had taken place respecting the Irish Malt Bill,
which had been read a second time this eveaing before 5 o'clock,
though he had given notice he should oppose it in every stage.—
He thought in common courtesy, they should wait till S o'clock
under such circumstances.

Mr. W. FITZGERALD agreed, therefore, that the second
reading of theAssessedTaxes Bill should be postponed till Friday.

Mr. O'HARA said, as he had been the pe:son who had mov-
ed the instructions to the Irish Finance Committee, who bad
given answers not at all satisfactory, he was the properest man
to move, that the Report be taken into further consideration.—
' He spoke for some time, but in a tone almost inaudible. He con-
eluded by moving, that de report be committed.
Mr. W.FITZGERALD, Sir J. NEWPORT, and the CHANCELLOR
of the EXCHEQUER, each said a few words against the motion,
to which Mr. O'HARA replied very shortly, when the motion
was negatived without a division.
