31 die House wished to show that It was anxious to af-
ird any relief to the distress of the country, here was
we* aiportunity offered for doing so, and the only op-
*tastily it would bare this Session. He conclnded
with moving for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal so
Mach of the 4341 and 52d of George 111. as related to
dreamy on agricultural horses.
. lie, tittOCH said that,as The Chairman of the Agri-
eakeral Committee, he would second the motion, and,
at the same time, say that they had been instrneted by
the Committee, on a former day, to come down to the
House to move for the repeal of the tax in question,
bat that, in the meantime, the Commitose had changed
their mind. lie confirmed the statements of the Hon.
Member who preceded him, and express, d his opinion,
elm since the means of Government were not eqaal to
their expenditure, they ought to cut down their estab-
lishments, so as to square with the resources which
abet had at their command.—(Hear, hear.)—Thongh
be differed in politics from the Don. Member from
Aberdeen, yet he could not but say that, in his (O-
tis, that lion. Member had done eminent services to

He dad not say this for the purpose of courting popula-
rity it was his candid opinion, and he hoped he
should obtain credit for expressing it.—(flear, hear.)
Mr. DAVENPORT conceived that this tax WWI the
most oppressive one in existence, except the salt-tax.
bear.)—fie cordially concurred in the views
testa of it by the Hon. Member opposite, and hoped it
wield be repealed.
Mr. COKE sal-I he lessen old Member of that Howie.
and hr erver remembered a more laborious Member in
It that' the lion. Member fur Aberdeen —(Hear, hear.)l
He was not surprised to hear the observation tf...at was
made respecting him; butt he confessed he was very
insult surprised to hear it from one of those Gentle-
maw who were the constant supporters of the present
extravagant Administration. He was equally sol—
id:ell to hear the two Hon. tieutlemen who preceded
hies concur with his Hon. Friend in n ishing to have
this tax repealed—they who were the uniform sup-
porters of tiovernment, and were doing to the country
all the mischief they coul:l.—(Hear, hear.)—They
could not but he aware that this was nothing more
than a palliation for a system of nual.ndministration,
and yet they continued to give it all the aid in their
power.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. GIPPS said, that when, on a former occasion, he
supported theutotion for a repeal of this tax, he thought
that a substitute might be found for it in a small tax on
time transfer of stock. lie was not then aware that a sta.
Lute was already in existence, which prohibited the im-
position of any tax on transfer of that description. The
lion. Member then proceeded to make some comments
upon the propriety of introducing some measure of re-
lief to the agriculturists, founded on the principle of the
Corn Bill—when he was called to order by
Mr. BARINO, who said that the observations of the
Hon. Member dial not apply to the question immediately
before time House.
The SPEAKER observed that it was for the lion.
limber to state to the House how far Iris present course
argament was meant to apply to the question.
Mr. UIPPS was ready to admit that the subject upon
which he had entered was not strictly applicable; and
he would of course bow to the judgment of the House.
Ile would content himself then, with observing, that if
the agricultural horse-tax were taken off, it would be a
great boon to the farmer, whilst it would prove of very
little injury to the revenue.
Mr. BARING was in a Ciliation directly opposite to
that of the three Members who had spoken on the Mi-
nisterial side oldie House. Ile had voted in favour of
every measure of retrenchment, but unfortunately with-
out success ; but the House hiving voted the extrava-
gant supplies called for by Guvernmetit, he could not
how consent to diminish the taxes. Ile could not but
express astonislinient that any lion. lirntlem.ti
think he could return to Ills CMlsti rim :4 ills a good
grace, becalm, after voting fur every species of extrava-
gance tlirongb the Session, lie had at Li,' opposed a tax,
the repeal of which was more i 11111 l e.lia:ely conneuted
with his own pecuniary interest (it he might say so) than
army other. '1 he Hon. Member for Aberdeen, to whom
a Lie tribute of applause was now rendered, out of all
the iliv:sions which lie had cansed, had never in a.single
itotance had the advantage of a vale from :hose olio

intended shortly to bri ngforward. I 'on% juiced as be was

Lar•l MILTON expressed his great satisfaction at the
speech of the lion.llentleman who had spoken last. He
(lord Milton) would go still forther, and call on the
iihoit, country to stop the career of taxation. He pat in
to his Hort. Friend the Aleniher for Taanton, Qlr.
Baring) whether for the sake of increasing the fivitioas
valor of stock, the grinding taxation which encroached
en the rapital that formed the foundatiou of credit,
ought to be enured ? Fir put it to his powerful mind,
whether it Would not be better to leave in the pockets
of the people what increased and fructified with theirs,
than by saki ng all away to ruin them and annihilate the
revenue?-(Year, bear.)—There were other taxes which
onalit at the sante time to be taken off from the merit-
factoring Interests. Other taxes ought to hr repealed
as well as the tax on horse., but especially the tax on
foreign wool. If this motion should be successful, and
the Bill carrying it into effect should come to a Com-
mittee, he would then move an instruction to the Com-
mittee to receive a clause for repealing thetas on foreign
wool. His lion. Friend, by this motion, proposed a re-
lief to the extent of -IM/A/W. He (Lord Stilton) would
la addition propose relief to the extent of IMMO/.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHRQUERsaid that
the present question involved not only the repeal of
.31111,000 f., bat of every tax whatever of which a parti-
cular class of persons might complain. It was the be-
ginning and. apeatng of a general assaulti,oalorWi:
natives of the country—an assault to be verb, .
stwinher according to the interests of his owe cainaitita•
env., or his own views of political eeonorwy; frisch
ill assault were successful, no minister could support
the financial system of this country. A. I. reoction
in the esteblishinents of the country, it was UlballipLanry
to repeal this tax for that object (laughter), as fiery re-
duction that stas compatible with the wearily sod credit
of the country %unlit be made. It ought to be recol-
lected that this tax formed but a small part of the es •
primes of horsea, and that if the corn with which they
were fed was lower in price, this tax could hr din more
easily paid. Another objection to its repeal was, that
no reasonable substitute bad been proposetl.—(Cheets
front the opposition side.)—lie concluded by moving the
previous question.
Mr. SC %KLETT thought the question was not
whether taxes were necessary to support theil financial ,
tv‘tew, but whether the present system of isttatioit.l
which was felt to bear so hard and so uneqna iv: wa-
to he changed. The Right lion. Gentleman said. that''
althittuzb thrs tax pressed tip •n the farmer, it' of ght
to be remembered that provetidi r was cheap; that oat-,,
which the farmer sold, were a' a low price. This nail
as notch as saying., in plain F igiish, that the forme
was more able to be::r the taxi., in proportion as his
I means were diminished. No attempt had been mad,
to refute any of the specific arguments adduced in sup-
-1 port of the motion, in fay.air of which he (Mr. Scar-
let.) should vote, principally becanse lie was of opi-
nion that the only way to force Ministers to econo-
mise, was by taking from them the means of extrava-
calms. He hailed the return of some Honourable
Members who were in the habit of supporting the 1111.
sisters in that House, to a sense of their duty to the
country, anti he hoped they would continue constant to
their present resolutions, and that their good exampWi'
would operate betictit.ially upon others. Let them r
member that economy gas necessary in the presaM
state or the country, and above all that economy was
