Title	Copy letter to Mr John Dirt congratulating him on notice to move for a tax on dogs on Monday night
Date	[1796]
Description	Dogs not only consume a great deal of useful provisions, but do and cause a great deal of damage to landholders and manufacturers. The number of packs of hare hounds in this country is astonishing. They are chiefly petty packs kept by persons and sets of persons who not only neglect their own business and spend their money but disturb and much injure their neighbourhood. They damage fences and cattle, and work people employed in factories run after them to the detriment of themselves and families and greatly so of their employers. The tax will do more for preservation of Game than all the penal laws for hardly any game except partridge can be destroyed by poachers without the help of dogs. He hopes the motion will have Mr PH's support. [Written before 17 May 1796, probably Spring 1796]
