ont the Income tax by 81 10 %. More than enough OF
those who absent would have voted in the airna
tive TO make majority Of the whole body. Mr. shcr
man Immediately raised the note Of alarm, and said
the Senate did not reverse its decision, the most
the special taxes would have TO be restored or next

this did to have any Influence, he asked that
