SUMMARY of the most important Affairs in the laft Seffion of Parliament, continued from p. 34. N OV. 24. As foon as the re- refolve itself into a committee of the whole houfe, to confider of ways and means for railing the supply granted to his majefty; which committee was by feveral adjournments continued to the 19th of May 1756, during which time it came to the following refolutions, which were upon the report agreed to by the houfe, viz. Nov. 27. 1. That a land-tax of 4s. in the pound be raised for one year, from the 25th of March, 1756; whereupon a bill was brought in and paffed, with a claufe of credit for borrowing two millions upon this fund at 31. per cent. 2. That the malt-tax be further continued to the 24th of June 757; on which a bill was brought in and paffed, with a claufe for borrowing 750, cool, upon this fund at 31. per cent. Jan. 24. That the fum of 1,500,000l. be raised by annuities at 31. 10s. per cent. per ann. and the fum of 500,000l. by a lottery to be attended with annuities, redeemable by parliament, after the rate of 3. per cent. per ann. the faid feveral annuities to be transferrable at the Bank of B England, and charged on the finking fund; A £. s. d. 2,037,893 11 2 750,000 0 364 WAYS and MEAN S. 251. per cent. on or before the 14th day of Auguft next. 251. per nt. on or before the 20th day of October next. in the afternoon, the books fhall be clofed Upon this refolution there was likewife a bill brought in and paffed; in which it was enacted as ufual, that the Bank (notwithstanding the redemption of their other funds) should continue a corporation, till all the faid annuities fhould be redeemed; and that they should not incur any difability, by reafon of their doing any thing in pursuance of this act. March 3. That there be granted to his majefty, as follows: 1. s. yearly, to be paid by every perfon, or body corporate, having 30 ounces, and under 50 ounces of filver plate. 8. 101. for 2000, or upwards. Aug. 9. Over and above the duty of 6d. now payable upon every pack of praying cards, an additional duty of 6d. upon every fuch pack, to be paid by the maker or importer. ic. Over and above the duty of 55. now payable for every pair of dice, an additional duty of 55. upon every fuch pair, to be paid by the maker or importer. 11. That thefe duties be carried to, and made part of the tinking fund, towards making good the interest of two millions charged thereon, this feffion of parliament. We had here obferve, that when thefe refolutions were agreed to in the commit tee, feveral refolutions were at the fame time, viz. February 25, agreed to, for laying duties upon bricks, and all forts of tiles; but thefe refolutions were upon the report recommitted, and afterwards dropt, with the confent of those that proposed them, another fund having been afterCwards reiolved on. Even the above mentioned firft and eighth refolutions were upen the report opposed, and a motion made upon each for its being recommitted; but the ques tion upon both being carried in the nega tive, they were agreed to, and a bill or hills ordered to be brought in upon the eleven refolutions then agreed to. AcDcordingly two bills were brought in and paffed, one for granting feveral rates and duties upon filver plate; and another for granting an additional duty on cards and dice. But in the first, the first eight refqlutions agreed to by the house as abovementioned, were very much altered; for the duties eftablished by the act are 5s. yearly upon 100 ounces Troy weight, and not amounting to 200 ounces of filver plate, and an additional 5s. for every 100 above the first, till it comes to 4000, which confequently pays 10l. and this is the highest any person is to pay. E F 2. 10s. for 50 ounces, and under 100. G 7. 81. for 1500, and under 2000. We most alfo obferve, that on the 19th of March there was prefented to the house, and read, a petition of the lord mayor, aldermen, and commons of the city of London, in common council affembled, fetting forth, That the petitioners had been informed, that a bill had been brought in for granting certain fums of money, to be paid by every perfon, or body corporate, having 30 ounces of filver plate, and up. wards; and that the petitioners humbly prefumed, by a most respectful application to that house, to exprefs their concern, that the burthen of inland duties then already impofed on almost every branch of trade, however chearfully tome, was feverely felt; and that the subjecting all perfons |
