§ COLONEL DUNCAN (Finsbury, Holborn)asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether tradesmen, who paid rates and taxes on their shops, may be exempt from taking out a hawker's licence when they also sent out vans or carts from which sales are made on application by customers in the streets?
THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN) (St. George's, Hanover Square)Tradesmen whose vans and carts do not go from town to town, or to other persons' houses, are not liable to Hawker's Licence Duty. Sales made on applications by customers in the streets of the town where the tradesmen reside will not render a licence necessary.
