Debate on land tax and government finance continues
The House debated a measure to fund government by taxation on all landed property with strong opposition from Mr. Johns and support from Mr. Burdon and Colonel Elford. The Chancellor urged a general yet practical approach while resisting premature expansion. The committee considered amendments, the bill was amended, reported, and ordered for further consideration as Mr. Pitt introduced a silver coinage bill.
