ColonelllAVlECicomplained that the arrangements,
sugge.ted (as we understood) by himself last Session,
whereby so many thousands would be saved to the country
in the collection of the Customs and Excise, were upt yet
carried into effect, notwithstanding the assurance given to
the house by the Treasury.
Mr. HELthIES was understood •to deny that he ;aid
those arrangements were in progresa What he had said
was. that they were under consideration. In fact the de-
partment of the Customs was at present Rader inquiry.
It wail found that the mode of receiving she port duties
were different in' England .and Ireland. It watnecegfarY
that inquiry should be made i 4 the latter. also, and that
was the reason that they bad not yet come to an Ultimate
determination.
Colonel DAVIES nald;ho would, on; Wars dayonovi
for accounts of the total charge of col/egting both Cui-
outs and Excise in England, Ireland, and Scotland.
