Petition New Duties • · (No. 38.) 185 6. TASMAN I A. P E T I T- I O N. NEW DUTIES. Presented· by Mr. Miller and Mr. Dunn, and ordered by the House to be printed, 15 January, 1857. (No. 38.) To the Honourable the Memb.ers of the House of Assembly ·in Parliament assembled. The Petition of the undersigned Inhabitants of Tasmania. RESPECTFULLY SHOWETH: THAT your Petitioners have observed with the deepest regret that your Honourable House have passed the Estimates for the year 1857, amounting to the enormous sum of £347,279. That your Petitioners cannot but consider -this amount as greatly disproportioned to the requirements of the Colony, and altogether in excess of the legitimate necessities of a Government for an adult population not exceeding 35,000 souls. That the total population of this Colony does not exceed 70,000 persons ; and the expenditure, as passed by your Honourable House, amounts to a tax of £16 per head .on the entire male adult population. _ . That your Petitioners believe that the Revenue, estimated from all sources of income amounting to £269,098, is ample for the purpose of carrying on the Government of the Colony. That your Petitioners suggest that, instead of raising additional taxes for the purpose of meeting the expenditure, the salaries of the high Officials should be reduced to meet the altered circumstances of the Colony,-the number of Officials reduced,-and various Depart­ ments consolidate<:! under one head ; and that if, after calm and deliberate enquiry by your Honourable House into the necessary reductions, additional taxation should be necessary, your Petitioners will cheerfully pay such taxes as impose on all classes their fair proportion of the public burdens. That your Petitioners believe the additional Ways and Means proposed by the Finance Minister on Friday, the 9th January, to your Honourable House to be unequal in their bearing on different sections of the community; oppressive to .the industrial classes,• while . the wealthier individuals (especially landed proprietors and capitalists) escape their just share of taxation. That your Petitioners believe that the increased Duties op. Spirits, Wines, ap.d Tobacco will encourage smuggling and illicit distillation ; and that the additional amounts :placed on Tea, Sugar, Coffee, and Rice (absolute necessari~s in this Cplop.y) will press with undue severity on the working and industrial classes pf the cp.mmµp.ity, who are already sufficiently taxed. ; ' That the proposaltQ leyy 10$1 per hea4 qn cattle and qd. per qead qn sheep imported from the adjoining Cololli~s 'is impoltti~:;-opp!)sed tq every principle offree trade-calcu­ lated to excite ret11liatm:y measures, by a ta~ ·on timber and other· exports..,.,..and unjust to the inhabitants of this Polony, by raising thf price of meat when the present inability of the Colony to provide sµfficient meat for it_s p,wp. c~msumption is acknowledged. That your Petitioners are of opinion that extra Tonnage Dues and Wharfage , Rates shoulq. p~ 11,b9]jsp.eq.1 as interfering injuriously with the· trade of the various ports of th~ Isl~µd_. (No. 38.) 4 That your Petitioners believe that the increased rate of Postage will have the effect of checking any increase in the Letters, and lead to evasion of Postage by sending Letters in parcels and by private persons. That your Petitioners believe the Auction Duty to be unjust in its operation-falling almost entirely upon the necessitous, and those who are compelled to dispose of their property; and is in reality an ad valorem duty of two and a half per cent. on all goods sold by auction ; and that all such legislative restrictions upon any sections of the mercantile community have been abandoned, both in the United Kingdom and adjacent Colonies, as inquisitorial and incompatible with Free Trade. That your Petitioners believe the Transfer Duty on all Real and Personal Property and Legacy Duties to be impolitic, wrong in principle, and opening the door to numbe_rless frauds and evasions. That, but a short time ago,' an Act was passed to facilitate and cheapen the Conveyance of Real Property ; and p.ow it is proposed to tax it to such an extent that the expenses of Conveyance will be, in many instances, increased tenfold. That your Petitioners consider the Tax on Hawkers' Licences to be excessive. That your Petitioners believe that there are less objectionable plans of raising an additional revenue than that proposed by the Finance Minister. And your Petitioners pray your Honourable House to take the premises into consider­ ation, and adopt such remedial measures as you in your wisdom shall deem fit. And your Petitioners, as in duty boun,d, will ever pray. JOHN LESLlE STEWART, Mayor of Hobart Ton;n. WILLIAM L. CROWTHER, Chairman of Committee. Robert Sutton, Melville-street. William Smith.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

    The Economic Problems ofthe See of York: Decline and Recovery in the Sixteenth Century By CLAIRE CROSS A LEGEND has long persisted that the temporalities of the see of York suffered disastrously at the time of the Reformation through spoliation by the crown. Unembellished evidence confirms that in the decade between 1536 and 1546 Archbishops Edward Lee and Robert Holgate surren dered to Henry VIII avery large part of their ancient episcopal lands and that vast north^n estates, which the archbishops of York had possessed since long before the Conquest, passed permanently into royal ownership. Yet some early York historians have been reluctant to admit that the crown granted to the see ecclesiastical revenues, chiefly arising from the recently dissolved monasteries, in at least partial recompense for the lands the two successive archbishops had renouiKed. Undoubtedly during the middle years of the sixteenth century the see of York underwent aperiod of serious economic disruption but it seems that the archbishops did not have to face a lasting catastrophic fall in their income. Indeed, by 1600 the archbishop of York received an income from temporalities nominally equal to the income his predecessor had enjoyed in 1530- What had changed, and this had long-term consequences both religious subsequent history ofthesee, was the source ofthis revenue.

  • And Humanist Learning in Tudor England a Thesis
    ROGER ASCHAM AND HUMANIST LEARNING IN TUDOR ENGLAND by HARRAL E. LANDRY,, A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History in the Graduate School of the University of Alabama UNIVERSITY, ALABAMA 1958 PREFACE Roger Ascham was probably the greatest teacher in Elizabethan England. The period is graced with the name of his most famous and most spectacular pupil - Elizabeth Tu.dor. His life was dedicated, if indeed to anything, to the Greek ideal of "a sound mind in a sound body •." In addition, he reached a zenith as probably the greatest Latin letter writer in England. This achievement is all the more remarkable since his era was one of scholarship in the language of ancient Latium and of Rome. Yet, he is without a biographer, except in short sketches prefacing the editions of his writings. The purpose of this thesis is to collect some of the thoroughly scattered material and look a little more close­ ly at Ascham as a student, scholar, and particularly as a teacher. Every effort has been made to work with source material. Old English spellings have been modernized to provide continuity, uniformity, and smoothness of reading. Exceptions will be found in original book titles. Making a study of ideas is like steering a tricky passage between the perils of Scylla and Charybdis. In narrow straits the channel is often both,deep and indeter­ minate. The navigation of such a passage, even on my unlearned and far from comprehensive level, would have been impossible were it not for the generous assistance of a number of people.
