Oppressive
indicated by such
conduct
to abuse
the powers of his office
to the purpose of
imposing on Accountants
taxes under
a consciousness of their
injustice.

IV. Oppressive disposition indicated by such conduct.
Regarded in a more pecuniary view, and that confined to the
individual Account in question the tax which has been already submitted ,
together with the correspondence which having proved
useless will require to be repeated, has not been more productive
of any more serious damage to the property of the Accountant
property than the 40s stamp money had it been submitted
to would be .Had it an impropriety appeared to have
had incadvirtam for its cause, neither Mr
Chief Inspector, not the Commissioners would have
been troubled with the mention of it.
But when a public Officer is seen abusing
the powers of his office, for the purpose of imposing upon
an Accountant, who is subject to them whom he may <add> subject to those powers </add> a tax of which influence it is in itself the question can ask but have been all the
in the fair; and for the when for this oppressive purpose, in he
is sure in working the order of things, in such manner as to
plan first a requisition which might probably
never has to be render such propriety find its sufficient warrant, and which item <add> this design
with the danger of immediately following it up, without fear as accordingly it was immediately followed up, by another <add> requisition the tendency of which, not to say its design was to render the former </add>
with which it - accordingly followed up by another they have which it was to be
by a requisition designed to render the
<add> terms useless - a requisition which showed it was
to be a just one, could not possibly be so at that
time, an impression of this sort, how trifling seems
in itself indicates points for its cause to a
disposition, from which, on other occasions,
oppressive of a really grievous nature every
b but too naturally be expected.
Impowered through honest endeavour the primary
burthen would not have been worth making of. But the consciousness of being having been forced into a useless correspondence to another third person [+]
[+] having for its effect the extension of the burthen viz. so far as their burthen to labour is concerned to a part of either to a stranger and this
at the command of an Officer, to whom the powers of his
office valuable, in proportion to the capacity of being
converted into instrument of vexation, is no such light matter, but a real serious question.
