Mr. Vansittartmoved for leave to bring in a bill to repeal so much of the Property Tax Act, as requires attornies, agents, and factors, to 1011 retain and pay the duties chargeable upon public annuities.
The Chancellor of the Exchequerstated, that this measure was proposed in consequence of a wish expressed by the bankers, and other persons interested, and from a full persuasion of the justice of their request. Leave was given; the bill was afterwards brought in by Mr. Vansittart, read a first and second time, and committed for Monday.
