152 APPENDIX TO. REPORT FROM SELECT COMMITTEE No 7. Limerick Grand Jury Assessment:— Resolutions of St. Michael's. COPY of Resolutions entered into at a Meeting of the Parishioners of St. Michael's Parish, Limerick, held the 4th April 1822. Resolved, That we have seen with surprize the copy of a petition from a late grand jury of this city to Parliament, praying for the adoption of some measure which would extend their power of taxation to this parish, which owes its present extent and population to an exemption from their control or power of taxing, the abuse of which has been found so injurious to the parishes in the city. Resolved, That this parish has, under the faith of an Act of Parliament, raised a large sum of money for the improvement of its streets, the interest of which, together with the annual expense'for paving, lighting, watching, & c. and the sum of 500/. a year paid to the city treasurer, as its proportion of the expense of public establishments, require an annual tax on houses and stores, which is at present as heavy as can be well borne by the inhabitants. Resolved, That contributing so largely as we already do, towards the support of public establishments, we feel ourselves called on to oppose any effort on the part of the corpo- ration, through their grand jury, to extend their power of taxation to this parish, the experience of many years having fully proved, how much that power has been abused, and what large sums of money levied off the city and liberties are still unaccounted for. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded by our chairman to our repre- sentative in Parliament, Thomas Spring Rice, esq.; and that he be requested to oppose any attempt which may be made to subject this parish to grand jury assessments.
