164 REPORT—1862, 
8. Dublin police in 1852, £38,324. Total £1,732,480, falling upon real property. 
This, like the similar charge for Scotland, must be considered as a close approxima- 
tion only. 
4. Dublin Ballast Board in 1860, £46,658. This charge falls upon personal 
property. f 
he grand total for Treland is £1,779,138. 
Gathering the totals together for the three kingdoms, we are presented with the 
following summary :—

Hence it appears that the real property of the United Kingdom pays the 
large sum of £15,056,000 for local taxation, before it comes under the hand of the 
coliector of imperial taxes. The amount of imperial taxation which this descrip- 
tion of property has to bear can only be given roughly, because some of the items 
clearly chargeable thereto cannot be eliminated from the general mass, These 
imposts are, however, so far as known or capable of estimate, as follows :—

Chancellor of the Exchequer’s Budget for further taxation.
