Absentee landlords pressed to fund distressed nation

In a parliamentary debate from the period, Mr Fortescue urges taxing absentee landlords whose rents accrue from lands not residing in the kingdom. Mr Oliver’s motion proposes a penny rate on nett produce of all lands held by nonresidents for 1773 to 1775, arguing it would aid circulation and compel return of absentees. Critics warn of injustice, wartime needs, and economic harm, while some support the measure as a duty to the country.
