§ MR. HARRINGTONasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether it is true that, in the first levies for the police tax in the parish of Monanimy, the Lord Lieutenant exempted Mr. Foote, J.P. who resides in the district; whether Mr. Foote joined in the Memorial of the people to the Lord Lieutenant for the removal of the tax; and, whether he was then included in the next levy of the tax?
§ MR. TREVELYAN, in reply, said, that, in the earlier levies, the tax was remitted to Mr. Foote so far as it affected a Constabulary barracks on his property and some unoccupied buildings, the Government being advised that it was not properly chargeable thereon. In a subsequent warrant Mr. Foote's name was, by a clerical error, entered as entitled to exemption for all his property; but the error had been discovered, and was rectified in the latest warrant. That occurred subsequently to Mr. Foote having signed the Memorial, and the fact of his signing the Memorial had nothing to do with his being included in the levy.
