Dog Tax - on the report of a tax being paid on dogs the following curious advertisement appeared in the Derby paper of Aprll 6th 1753.

Whereas by a late report there has been an Act that all dogs are to be taxed This is to give notice that those persons who will hang their dogs and bring the skins to Mr Jonathan Kenlial's near South Winfield on Monday the 16th of April, to Richard Redfern's at Haynor the 17th and to the King's Head at Derby the 20th shall receive for every skin not less than 2s 6d and every mastiff or large mongrel 5s to be clean taken off and without slits, ready money.
