and *as at Ms same time the bolt means of restraning
the lavish; preligate, and nasecessary expenditure -of
one custry.--(Ckeers.)—He had in his possessioo an
decimal of Maloof 's rates and other taxes levied upon
wren parishes in the three adjoining counties. -In one
parish the pose's rates was in /792, 374/. last year it
was 17861.. amithis year it was likely to be greaterstill.

shwa isoli-to the ineresse of the Halt Tax. In 1792 it
was 116,403/.; is 1821 it was four millions. In 1792 the
palish of Ashwell paid 110/. 7s. for malt; this was the
value of 132 quarters of barley; they now paid 637/. for
milt, which was the price of 764 quarters of barley.
Here was a die/nwi e s n the vinosity to be received to
pay for the necessary quantity of milt. He would next
allude to the Salt Tax ; there were 900 persons in tke
parish of Admen ; Ahoy paid for salt last year 1291.

lead. The farmer paid fire

taillises betimes them.—(Hear. hear. hear.)—But why

espense. la 1792 the whole staff of the army cost
9241301. It 1821 the expenses of the Commander is

He should like to are the Doke of York supported like
a Prince, bat surely that coati' be done at a less expense
Than 50,0001. or 60,0001. a year. Why, the parish of
Ashwell. consisting of farmers and labourers, west on

Gliucellor of the Exchequer employed every de-
vice in his power to mneeseloool. a-year out of them :
and this sum did not last the Duke of York more than
tier days. —(Cheats)—He would ask if this was a proper
state of things?—('o, no.)—la fact, there were fifty
parishes like Ashwell, ell toiling sight and day t• pay
their ass Mussed pounds a-year each. and the Duke
of York swallowed it all.—(Loud laughing.)—He would
ask whether a portion of this expense might not be
saved ? He found also that they bad no less than
11,000 Half-pay Miens. These coedited of men who
