deratton of the Treasury, in consequence of the com-
plaints from various quarters. He assured the Hon.
Member that every suggestion should he attended to
that could tend to promote the object desired, and
that with that view he proposed, to recommend a men.
sure of regulation which, he hoped, would /Am to
obviate the evils complained of.
Mr. C. DUNDAS, stating that he had no other
motive in bringing forward this business than a de-
sire to relieve the people from oppression, expressed
his readiness to consign it to those who had more abi-
lity to adMinister that relief. He was, indeed, happy
that the Right Hon. Gentleman, who was so capable
of giving effect-to any arrangement upon this subject,
had manifested an intention to follow it up—and he
assured him, that any ma-terials he had collected
should be promptly at his devotion. There were
points which he begged particularly to recommend to
the Right Hon. Gentlemall's consideration—one with
regard to the interrogation of men upon oath to cri-
minate themselves, peculiarly demanded revision r—
and there was another rint which appeared to call
for inquiry. Upon the latter point, a circumstance
had come to his knowledge, of which, probably, the
Right Hon. Gentleman had not heard. Some Com-
missioners of the Land Tax, from the county of He-
reford, were lately obliged to answer a suit in the
Court of Exchequer, in consequence of the perfor-
mance of their duty. In this suit they incurred an
expellee of. 2SO, and although the verdict was in their
favour, they declined to avail themselves of it. This
forbearance was, no doubt, honourable to .the indivi-
duals concerned ; but he submitted to the House
whether such a case was not calculated to depress the
exertions of Gentlemen who gave their services gra-
tuitously in such Commissions ? and, whether it was
not likely to indispose other Gentlemen, not so public
spirited and disinterested, from deciding according to
their judgment, lest they should be exposed to ex.
pence and trouble ? It was obvious that the recur-
rence of such a case ought to be provided against.
Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE urgently pressed upon
the attention of the Minister the conjectural surchar-
ges to which people were subject from surveyors, who,
in fact, often knew nothing of the persons whom they
surcharged, but proceeded upon a speculation, pro-
ductive in most cases of extreme injustice and vexa-
tion, particularly in the country. .
The Chancellor of the Exchequer's request was
complied with, and the notice was accordingly with-
drawn.—Adjourned.
