Duke of Devonshire at Devonshire House, Picadilly W, to William Longsdon thanking him for copy of remarks on Local Taxation. Sorry Mr Goschen's bill been withdrawn; would have given badly needed opportunity of discussing subject in all its bearings. Good deal to be said on both sides so far as poor rate proper is concerned. Hardship on real property much greater in case of some of other rates. |
