PROPERTY AND INCOME TAX.
IN
consequence of the numerous Appellants having stated,
that their Landlords intended to refuse allowing them the
Property Tax on payment of their rent,
The Commissioners, under the above Act of Parliament,
for the Parish of Liverpool, direct the attention of all
tenants and occupiers of property to the following clause in
the said Act :

" The occupier of any lands, tenements, hereditaments,
or heritages, being tenant of the same, and paying the said
duties, shall deduct so much thereof in respect of the rent
payable to the landlord for the time being, (all sums allowed
by the Commissioners being first deducted,) as a rate of
sevenpence for every twenty shillings thereof would, by a
just proportion, amount unto, which deduction shall be made
out of the first payment thereafter to be made on account of
rent; and the receivers of Her Majesty's, and all landlords,
both mediate and immediate, their respective heirs, execu-
tors, administrators, and assigns, according to their respec-
tive interests, and their respective receivers or agents shall
allow such deduction upon receipt of the residue of the rent,
under the penalty (of £5O) herein contained ; and the
tenant paying the said assessment shall be acquitted and dis-
charged of so much money, as if the same had actually been
paid unto the person to, or for whom, his rent shall have
been due and payable."
By order of the Commissioners,
T. FRANCIS ANDERSON, Clerk.
