§ MR. BOWEN ROWLANDS (Cardiganshire)I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that, on the 17th January, 1889, and 27th February, 1890, the Land Tax Commissioners for Banbury, Oxfordshire, obtained from Major H. C. Maul, of Horley House, Horley, two several sums of £5 12s. each, on the representation that the same were due from him to the Commissioners for Land Tax in respect of his tenancy of Horley House and premises, the last of the two sums having been obtained by the Commissioners under a threat of distress, although the Land Tax for the said premises had been for many years redeemed, and nothing was due to the Commissioners from Major Maul in respect thereof; if he will explain why it is that, although the Commissioners 1681 have admitted this to be the case, they refuse to refund the two sums of £5 12s. each to Major Maul; and whether he will institute inquiries, and direct that the two sums of £5 12s. each be returned to Major Maul?
§ * THE: CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN,) St. George's, Hanover SquareI must ask the hon. Gentleman to be good enough to ask the question after the recess.
