On the 27th of last month, the commiffioners of fupply for the county of Edinburgh determined two appeals in favour of the fubject, which will go a great way to render the tax unproductive, at leaft for the prefent year. The firit was in the cafe of a houfe belonging to Lord Adam Gordon, which had been inhabited for feveral years back only by fervants, to air the rooms and take care of the furniture, and they had been removed to an ont-houte before the commencement of the act.

On this cafe it was argued, that as the inhabitant paid no rent for his houfe it was the property of the Duke, who was already charged for two houfes, and therefore not liable for a third. The plea was held good by the committioners, and wil exempt almott every collecter of rents in Scotland. In the former cafe, it was even contended that the new duty is not chargeable on any houfe in Scotland, because it is only leviable by the ftatute, upon houfs already charged
