Mr. Jos ss atked whether the Chancellor of the
Exchequer intended to ground any Motion on the
Papers which he had moved for relative to the In.
come Tax, as the Papers he fuppofed would be
eery fpcedily produced, having been moved for
on the other fide of the Houk?
The CSAICILLOL of the Enlist:welt Paid, be
knew of no ground upon which the Hon. Gentle-
man could found a fun/41160a that Papers would

be more fpcedily produced becaufe moved for 4a
that fide of the Houfe. It might fometimes hap•
pen that notice might be given previoufly to mov-
ing for a Paper, in confequence of which it might ,
be produced more fpeedily than it otherwife cold:
be, but he would !lady aver, that no (Mallon
whatever was made in any of the Offices with re•
(pea. to the produaion.of Papers, whether they
were moved for on this or that fide of the Houfc.
As to any Motion that lie might think proper
to ground on the Papers he had moved for, he
thought the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Jones), had
acqutefeed, and that he fhould have heard no more
upon the fubje& from that Hon. Gentleman until
the opening of what was called the Budget, at,,t
until that lion. Gentleman was in the polfetlion
his intentions with refpe& to the Tax. His opt.
nion had been long formed upon the lubje.ff, lint
nothing that piled in any other place, however
refpeEtable, fhould influence that opinion. He
fhould (late that opinion at a proper time, and
leave it to the Houfe to decide upon it. He had
underflood that the fubjea would not again be
brought forward until the Ways and Means for
the year were Rated.
Mr. JoNas was proceeding to make tome fur-
ther obfervations relative to the fubjea, when be
was flopped by
The SPEAEPR, who obferved that the allowing
of queflions to be afked was an indulgence; but
when it was carried farther, it became a very great
inconvenience.

A Men: age from the Lords req►►eiled the Houfe
would communicate to then► the Accounts pie.
fented on the 16th of March lak relating to his
Majelty's Civil Lift, with the Rcport of the Com-
mittee of the Houfe upon the fame.
Adjourned till Monday.
