glirit* that while an ft rhitrotry increasing rent to the
landlord steps in to absorb fhe nrlv-ntage that
otherwise be derived to agriculture by these
high prices, it is It delusion to pr.•totwi they can he
the encouragement sot forth. That the rotiotry has
already been snbmi►ted to the experiments of in-
creasing restriction with no other result than the Pro-
gressive advance of prices, as progressively 'wallowed
op in increased routs; and the consoquent further
application to the Legislature, at no lone intervals,
for an extension of the measure. That Corn Lae s
can be only effectual when accompanied by legis-
I-tire restriction extended to refit ; and as this can-
not, perhaps, be practically enforced, the free Im-
portation of foreign corn can alone keep dawn
prices. That the encouragement of agriculture must
he of another sort, and will he found in good leaset
at fair rents, and in a general Bill of Incldsure.
16. That If the threat of laying tiniest more land
in ,rases should he realised, it is not more than seems
to be required by the high price of butcher's meat,
butter, and cheese, as well as of bread.
17. That taxes are In fact nothing to the farmer;
for 4f he hsd not these to pay, the 1841 d-owner would
demand an increase of rent equal to them. That
taxes on agriculture do not, therefore, affect the
price of the products of land, but are only a di-
minution of the landlord's rent. That the repeal of
these taxes will not reduce the price of food.
18. That the Property Tax is now about to be re-
pealed. That further rates are assessed by a pound-
age on rent, and will, therefore, diminish with the
fall of rent, as well as with the reduction in the price
of food rendering them less necessary. That the
other direct taxes on the farmer are inconsiderable.

Mr. TOPPING stated, that this was an tetlo'n of
trover, lir/night by the Plaintiff, a widow woman,
to recover 461. the vales Of certain articles pledged
by her with the Defendant. The Plaintiff wanting
the things, sent a person to redeem- them,- who ten-
dered 501. to rover the principal and interest, Not-
withstanding this, the Defendant refs*. to gift
them up, alleging they were not the prOperty of the
Plaintiff, by whom they were pledged, but oce person

The ATTORNEY-Giiimuc, for the Defeildant, put

Commissioners, under Padward'i bankruptcy, in
Which she acknowledged she
.Mad been living with
Edwards, and passing'
y. his name for Igoe years,
and that he waste have paid her 701. a year as wages,
though at present he was cansiderably in arrears to
her. They had resided, at the time of Edward's
bankruptcy, in a house, elegantly 'furnished, in
Sloane;street ; but the furniture ditnOt belong to
the bankrupt, but to .the Plaintiff, 'to 'whom be had
assigned it in consideratlan of a sum of 14001. ed.
v.anced by her to him, as well is the lease of the
house, in consideretion of a further ions of 4301.
and that the articles now in dispute were part of
that TOrnitore. The Attorney-General was then
Proceeding to show in what manner tfie and
Edwards lived, and the impanibility there was that
the Plaintiff, out of her annuity, ill paid, could ever
have advanced to Edwaids 14001. when Lord ELLEIZ;

19. That if the British farmer pays a higher prigs
for some things on account of indirect taxation thin
he would otherwise do, that it is to he recollected,
this effect of indirect taxation is more than camped-
sated to him by the superiority of our manufactures;
so that, on the whole, he pays a lower price for the
products of every other species of industry, excepting
his own, than the foreign farmer.
20. That according to the price at which the farm-
er sells his corn and other produce, at such rate
must he his expence of culture in the maintenance of
his family, team, labour, &c. That his composition
for tithes is always in the same relation to the price
at which he sells. That his taxes are inconsiderable,
excepting poor-rates, which must also diminish as the
price of food falls. That the only remaining cig7,
sideration, therefore, is of rent, according to which, I
meth' must he the saving price at which the farmer]
can afford to sell his serplos pioduce ; and which, it
must be seen, fixes the prices of the whole. • nit •
