APPENDIX to the CHRONICLE.

Abstract of the late A&t for altering the Duty on Houfes and Servants.

TH

HE preamble recites, that the duties granted laft feffion of Parliament on inhabited houses, not bearing a proper proportion to each other, and the payment being greatly evaded, the duties paid by that act are therefore repealed. The duties now impofed, in lieu of the former, took place on the 5th of July, and are as under:

On all dwelling-houfes, with the offices, courts, yards, and gardens, worth of yearly rent from 51. to 201. fix-pence in the pound. From 201. to 401. nine-pence in the pound.

From 401. a year upwards, one fhilling in the pound.

Gardens, not exceeding one acre of land, are within the limits of taxation with the house.

All fhops and warehoufes attached to, or communicating with dwelling-houfes, are to be charged with the refpective houses; excepting warehouses and buildings adjoining to wharfs, occupied by perfons carrying on the bufinefs of wharfingers, whofe dwelling-houfes only are to be charged.

Houses, in which there is only a fervant, or other perfon refiding to take care of them, are not confidered as inhabited.

Where houses lett in different apartments, the landlord is chargeable as the occupier.

Halls and offices belonging to perions or bodies corporate, and chargeable with other taxes or parifh rates, are fubject to these duties.

With regard to fervants, no affefiment is to be impeached for any miftake in the names of fervants, provided the perfons intended are fervants to the perfons affeffed.

Perfons, who have different places of refidence, are to declare under their hands, when called upon, the number of fervants they mean to pay for at their respective habitations; which lifts are to be tranfmitted.

Perfons making falfe returns of their fervants are fubject to a penalty of 401.

and fets forth, that by the faid act no person shall be held to fpecial bail upon any procefs iffued out of any fuperior court, where the cause of action fhall not amount to the fum of ten pounds, or upwards; nor out of any inferior court, where the cause of action fhall not amount to the fum of forty fhillings, or upwards.

It further recites, that the power of arreft and imprisonment on mefne process, iffuing out of fuch inferior court, where the caufe of action does not amount to ten pounds, is found by experience to be attended with much oppreffion to great numbers of his Majesty's fubjects; for remedy whereof, it enacts, that from the paffing of this act, no perfon fhall be arrested or held to fpecial bail, upon any procefs iffuing out of any inferior Court, where the caufe of action Thall not amount to ten pounds, or upwards; but the like copies, of procefs fhall be ferved, and the like proceedings had thereupon in fuch inferior court, as are directed to be had, by the faid recited act, in fuch inferior court, in all cafes where the cause of action fhall not amount to the fum of forty fhillings.

It further enacts, that in all inferior courts (having jurisdiction to the amount of ten pounds or upwards) the like affidavit fhall be made and filed of fuch caufe of action, and the like proceedings hall be had thereupon, as are di. rected by the faid recited act, where the caufe of action amounts to the fum of forty fhillings, or upwards.

It then recites, that fo much of the feveral acts paffed for the recovery of debts within certain dif.

tricts and jurifdictions as authorife the arreft and imprisonment of defendants, where the cause of action amounts to less than ten pounds, be repealed.

That, in cafe of final judgment obtained in any inferior court, the certificate of the Judge of fuch inferior court to the fuperior court at Westminster fhall enable fuch fuperior courts to iffue writs of exetion to take the person and effects of the defendant out of the juris diction of such inferior court.

It also enacts, that on a judge. ment in an inferior court, where the damages are under ten pounds, before any execution fhall be stay. ed by writ of error, the defendant fhall give fecurity to profecute his writ of error with effect.

And then enacts, that no caufe fhall be removed by Habeas Corpus, unless the defendant fhall enter into recognizance for payment of the debt and cofts.
