MR. J. POWELLsaid, he wished to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, If it is true that all the Collectors of Taxes for the seven wards of the borough of Cirencester have been summarily dismissed from their offices, and their appointments given to the Clerk of one of the Local Commissioners; and whether there would be any objection to produce the Correspondence with the Board of Inland Revenue on the subject?
MR. PEEL, in reply, said the appointment of these Collectors was made by the District Commissioners, who acted on their own responsibility, and those gentlemen thought that the change would be for the convenience of the borough. The appointments have been confirmed by the Board of Inland Revenue. There was no correspondence on the subject.
