REPRAL OF TILE Arcom.77•Ax.

.GUILDHALL.

In confequence of a Requinti'n having been
fent to the LOAD MAYOR, tigned by feveral of the
Liverymen of London, a Common Hail was }et
terd4 convened fn. the purpole of taking into
con;l,lera:ion the propriety of laving I>ef-bre Parha-
omit it i,etition, praying for a repeal of the In.
Lome Tax.

'lThe LORD M %roc having orned the Hall,
Mr. NJ AIMIN TA ATER, ;WT. IdllCed the bufincfs
of the day by dating the neceir:ty and es pediency
of a!illithintr a tar, which, for three years, had
proved grievous to the people—a tat which, he
maim tined, was pernicious in its principle, and
worfe in its operation. It was an attack on the li-
berty and Contlitution of the country, and he
thought even more arbitrai y than the Inquifition
of Spain It was the intention of the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, he laid, to foften and modify it,
to make it more palatable—but that would not
remedy the evil. A pill might ht fwallowed bet-
ter becaufe it was gilded ; but it remained a pill
11111. The queftion appeared to him to be, that the
Minifter should juftify the principle, or abandon
the tax altogether. He well knew, however, that
the tax was obnoxious to the country at large,
and he willied that the fupport of Government
Iliould at all times tell on the ailations of the peo-
ple. Mr. Travers then moved a Refolution to the
purport, " That a petition be prefented to the
Houle of Commons, praying for a Repeal of the
Income Tax," which was feconded by
Mr. WA ;TR AN, who took occalion to obferve,l
tltit he did it with the greaten pleafure, as the lte-
(*Marion embraced the objefts which he wifhed to
have had adopted three years ago, on which oc-
carton he was fuppotted by only one of the City
Members. The majority of thofe who oppofed his
motion at the time were then prefent, and he was
glad that they and their conflituents were now
face to face. If they had any accounts to fettle, it
was then a proper opportunity ; for there ought
to remain no old fcores at the General Eleetion.—
With regard to the tax in queftion, it was neither
equitable nor juft. There were many cafes which
Came within his own knowledge, where perfons on
the very brink of infolvency have been under the
neceflityof contributing handfomely to the Income
Tax, for the fake of fupporting their credit. This
tax he called the Manfion Houfe Tax, as it origi-
nated there, and was countenanced by three of the
City Members, who gave it to the Minifter ; but
this circumflance would go into the general ac-
count when they fettled with their conitimcnts.
Alderman CURTIS thought it his duty to come
forward, which he could do with great confidence,
as he had always anted to the belt of his conicience.
At the time he fupported the tax, the country was
furrounded with danger and peril, and money
could not be difpenfed with ; but now he was con-
winced from experience, that the tax was oppref-
five (great applakfe) and hat it might be better done
away, if another could be found in its place. We
have now got, thank GOD ! a Minifter of Peace,
and therefore (hall not want in future fuck great
fupplies. He could not help laying, notwithftand-
ing, that he nad ever confidered it unconflitutional
to be diEtated to or inftrufled by his conftituents,
how he was to ad when attending his Parliamen-
tary duty.
Mr. Alderman ANDERSON gave the tax his fup-
port in the firft inftance, becaufe he thought it ne-
celfary for the fake of the country ; but was now
free to acknowledge, chat with regard to its opera-
tion, it had not anfwered his expectations.

Mr. Alderman Comm Paid he had never uttered
a fentiment in favour of the abominable tax in
queftion ; and it was exceedingly pleating to him
to refleCt, that he had never differed in opinion
with his conflituents on any occafion, and fhould
he ever find it to be the cafe, he fhould confider it
his duty to reign the honour of reptefenting them,
to make room for one whore fentiments were more
congenial to their own.
Mr. Alderman SKINNER knew within his own
knowledge feveral vexatious circumflances pro-
duced by the Income Tax; and expreffed himfelf
defirons at all times to do all in his power to add
to the comfort and happinefs of the Livery.
Mr. Alderman HIRBERT confidered it bell not
to dilguife his fentiments, though they might not
always coincide with the opinion of thofe whom
he walled to agree with. He avowed that he had
taken a principal part at the meeting at the Manfion
Houfe, having moved the refolution which was then
entered into. That the objeCt of that refolution was
to rettore public credit, which then appeared much
(haken, and to refill an attack aimed by an am-
bitious enemy at our finances; and that it went
merely to eflablifh the principle of railing a large
portion of the fupplies within the year, and had no
reference to the mode in which that was to be ef.
leave), he profeffed himielf ready to mike frefh
facrifices in cafe they fhould be necelfary. The
period when the tax was brought forward, was a
molt critical one. The French had jug broken off
the negotiation, and it was incumbent on the Mi•
nillcrs to prove to the enemy, that we were not
without refourcet. He had no doubt, fhould it
prove the cafe, that the people would make
pleattr Ilictilit es than they had done to fupport
the honour of the country. Mr. Hibbert con-
cluded a very eloquent fpeech by expreffing his
conviaion that the Income Tax was not only un-
popular but injurious, and that the fuoner it could
be repealed the better.
Mr. NVAITHIkIAI4 here took out a paper, which
he read—he (aid it was the fpeech of Mr. Alder-
man Curtis, at a dinner fume time ago, in which
the word niwilts appeared. Mr. W. confidered it
to apply to the Liverymen of London.
MI. CURTIS denied the inference, and dared
any man to t'ay he had ever made ufe of fuch an
epithet applicable to the refpeoftable body al-
luded to. _

A nephew of Mr. Alderman PERRI tic, and Un.
dcr Sheriff, (poke for fel= time on the vexatious
tendency of the tax, but was not defirous of its
repeal till after the arrival of the Definitive Treaty.
He took occalion to fay that the prefent Miniiters
had done nothing to deferve the lofs of confidence
of the people, and while they gave fuch proofs of

thdr ability and integrity. they ought to rott with
fupport. hie c nnchtdcd wi h prop44il2: -AI. AM II.:
