Report of the Commissioners appoint

ed for the Sale of Land-tax.

To the hon. the commons of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in parliament assembled. "The lords commissioners for regulating, directing, approving, and confirming all sales, and contracts for sale, made by bodies politic or corporate, or companies, for the purpose of redeeming their land-tax," have received his majesty's directions, to lay befor the house of commons a statement of their preceedings, distinguishing the number and value of the sales, and contracts for sale, approved by the said commissioners; the amount of land-tax redeemed, or to be redeemed, by virtue of such sales, and contracts for sale; the quantity of stock purchased by the produce of such sales; the gain to the public resulting from the proceedings under the said commission; the expense incurred, and the estimated value of the entire property of which the tenure has been, or will be changed, by the effect of such sales, or contracts for sale;

And the said commissioners report accordingly:-I. By an act passed the 21st March 1799, "to amend and render more effectual the preceding acts for the redemption and purchase of the land-tax," it was made lawful for his majesty to appoint seven persons of his majesty's most hon. privy council, to be commissioners for regulating, directing, approving, and confirming all sales, and contracts for sale, made by bodies politic or corporate, or companies, for the purposes of yedeeming any land-tax charged

lands, tenements, or hereditaments,
belonging to such bodies politic or
corporate, or companies. And his
majesty, by letters patent under the
great seal of Great Britain, bearing
date the March 1799, no-

minated and appointed the right
hon. William lord Aukland, the
right hon. Henry Addington (then
speaker of the house of commons),
the right hon. William Pitt, the
right hon. the master of the Rolls
(now lord Alvanley), the right hon.
sir William Wynne, knight, the
right hon. the lord chief baron, and
the right hon. Silvester Douglas
(now lord Glenbervie), for the pur-
pèses of the said recited act, and
with authority to any two or more
of the said commissioners to do
any act, matter, or thing, which
by the said commission the said
commissioners are authorized to
do: and various legislative provi-
sions have since been made, to
facilitate and extend the operation
and effect of the said commission.
II. The lords commissioners, on
the 29th March 1799, severally
took the oath prescribed by the act
of parliament, and afterwards er-
tered upon the execution of their
office. Their meetings have been
continued from time to time by
adjournments of more or less fre-
quency, according to the nature
and importance of the business to
be transacted; and the commis-
sioners have acted with the advice of
counsel, in such cases as have been
thought to require professional as-
sistance. In adjusting and approv-
ing the terms and conditions of
sale, it has been anxiously and in-
variably the objects of the lords
commissioner. to establish and
