§ MR. BOND (Dorset, E.)asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether farmers who have covenanted in their leases to perform a certain amount of cartage, in lieu of rent, for their landlords, will be liable for the Wheel and Horse Taxes in carrying out their agreements?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN) (St. George's, Hanover Square)In answer to this Question I can only repeat, as I said yesterday in reply to two similar inquiries, that it is quite impossible to provide in a general Bill to meet all contingencies and hypothetical cases, and it must be left to those who administer the new duty to do so fairly and without undue severity.
