This was an information ari(ing out of the Firil itiport of the ':!ontmillioners of Naval Enquiry. The attendant held the fituation of Naval Store keeper, in the Ifland of Jamaica. Mr. Wyer r read the particulars of the information. It (fated the time of Mr. Lick's appointment to thy office, and that he was provided with the ufnal inflruClions for the dif charge of the duties of it. The object %vas, that he might purehafe limes for the ufe of C vernment ; and, in the 13th article of his orders, was the follow ing direction r " That the Navy Board may know there is no uniue advantage made of the vatious rates of exchange, the total of every account 'hail be both in currency and lterling, and the cash ac• counts and voucher, ' than contain the then rate of exchange." It further hated, that from 'the time of his appintment to the date of his refignation, the premium on bills on London, in the Iflaud, was from to to 17 per cent , and that on Government fecuri ties i: was canfiderA,ly higher. That bills were drawn by him to a very confiderahle amount, on which be gave no credit to Governmer;: for the premium. A communication was made of thefe tranfaCtions by Lord Hugh Seymour, who had the naval command on that flation. The motive of the appiication was, that the Defendant rni.rht be ordered to deliver in an account of all the bills he bad drawn, and of the premiums be had received on the nzgociation s:f fuch The anfwer of the Defendant was then read, by I which it appeared. that the principal fads Hated in the information were admitted. He added, that after his arrival in this country, viz. on the 3d, t t th, and atla of February, 18c3, he received letters from the Navy Board, requiring him to give an account of all bills that he had drawn while he was in the execution of his (Hee; and that to thefe he anfwer ed, that he confidered the premiums received to a certain date, his own emolument, under the ccortraft he had made when he accepted the fituatinn. The Souctrox GENkIAL and Mr. _leaves fop ported this information. The Simple matter before the Court was, ...Eviler this call tryinn the Defendant for an account Should, or thould no:, be complied with ? The law wAs pelfeOly clear on the lark& ; and, as a public r tfi:er, he was bwind to render an account. On the 8b of July, 5796, he was afpninted Naval Store keeper at J imaka, and he continued there in that charader until September, 18eo. For this duty he had a (Any appointed ; and, betides this Salary and certain billing emoluments, he was to hove no compentation. The Single mieninn was, what did he receive for the hills ? What he did receive was the property of Government. He had full iattrinninns. which (tilted, that lie was to have no other cenfidtra tion than what was Itined for his trouble ; bnt inde• pendently of all filch ingruftinns, natural junice required, tha: he Ihould account will his employers for all extra prcfits. It wat impollible that the De fendant Should be in any uncertainty Ac to the nature of hip contra& with the Navy Board, in refi et to the premium on iliac Government Securities. The fan was perfedly notorious, that Mr. Smith, his prude. ceffor in office, had bre.n (Nitrified, by a von rain, :;" I the t; oh f September, t7no, for his miftarnom. in not accounting with the public for this very premium —and it this notoriety were not firffisient, the De fendant had the bell op;rutunity of pita..., informa tion ; he kept in his env' Iment Mr. Iliouohten, who had been clerk to Mr. Smith. who !lid in his affidavit, that Seeing the letter to Mr. Smith nnfeal ed he had the cur icfity not only to read the warrant of his difmilfal, bin to take a copy of it. Their Lord (hips mull wink a great deal ton much net to clifcern that the cle. k much have acquainted his new mailer with the ground of that diliniffial. Under thefe cir cumnanccs, was it reconcilable with common fenfe 1 to fuppofe, that the Defendant was nut cognizant of j the caufe of the removal of his pred..ffor ? Was he j now to fay, gravely, in a Court of Jutlice, that b e ing I employed by Government to fall its bills for the bed price they could produce, he had a right to put part of that price into his own pocket ? It was too often' repeated, that ufage might jutlify abnfes—but the truth was, no length of time could is. nify Inch prac-1 . Imes. This fithjed had been publicty ditcuffed—but the Learned Counfel purpofely avoided commenting I on any documents, excepting the bill and anfwer before their Lordfhips. It was a frngular fad, that this Defendant gave to Sir Hyde Parker Navy Bills to the amcunt of 45,0001. for which he required no ' premium. It was particularly hiking when it was confidered, that thefe bill, only, at to per cent. in (lead of 17, as (fated, would have obtained an emo. lument facrificed by the Defendant, of 45001. It looked very much like paying a price for secrecy, or a difpofition to let others participate, where he could not hirnfelf receive the lanai without expofure. This matter was further explained by the conca& of Rear Admiral Bligh, to whom the Defendant /Impaled to pay the compliment, as he had clone to Sir Hyde Parker ; but that Officer declined deriving any ad• vantage from filch a ft nice ; he laid he had no right to it, and that it was either the etnolurn.nt of Go. venment or of Mr. Dick; and he gave the difference p to the latter, Somewhat indignant that f uc h a p ro . Sal (bould be made to him, which was inconfillent with his fenfe of duty and honour. Ir might be the cafe, that thefe premiums were to be the emolument of the Naval Storekeeper; but for that purpofe there mull he a Special contra& ; the contrail was certainly capable of being varied by a Specific agreement, but no Itch agreement had been made. The Defendant Paid, that inflead of being at a premium, the Navy Bills might have been at a difcount in the Ifland of Jamaica ; but Government never cape:led of him t 2 enter into fpeculatinns on the produce of thefe Bills ; and if, inners.' of being at a large premium, they had been at a large difccunt, he would taJt have been refponfible for the lola. The Defendant, by his io- ftrudions, was required to advertife when he was pre. pared to remit bills on Government, in order that it might be a notorious fad, on what terms Such remit tances were to be made, and that two refpidable iner. chants might certify as to the flare of the exchange. The Defendant had given no Such public notice by ad s vertifement, and the reaton was obvious—in order that no fuch certificate might be made out, and that be might covertly and fraudulently derive the benefit from there negotiations. It was pretended, that a falary of r 001. was infufficient for the maintenance and reward of the Naval Store-keeper, in this %Vclt India • • • rettlenient ; brit the tr ut h was; that Ibis mil not the compenfation to which that officer wits-entitled! He hail not only his Wages, but "all futh ' and privileges as Are duly siuthOrifecii and duly he. long to the office." There were the words ot the appointment, and the allowances appeared to be not inconliderable, from an authentic document then be. Ere the Learned Connie!. Mr. ALEXANDER, for the De enfant—" This ;1 not in evidence ; 4nd had the docnment to wh;c:i the Learned Counfel adverted, been added to the tetti.: mony, I (hould have been preiatcd to bait lhewn iti fallacy." Tie C , 4 I FF BARrN -•••gl How long was the Defen dant in flfnce ?" Mr. JE otrts—" About two yeatt. The warrant; calling upon him to account for ;he pterniams, wai dated tie 18th of Septenaber, and welg received by him on the ilth of December, IL° ; and although he now claims the premiums as his own ander hit contradl, he made so remonarances, Bated no com plaint, on being abridged of thofe pretended tights under his contra& ; and yet the bills on which this extravagant premium of 15 per cent. or, an average was obtained, amounte I to 364,c001. Thefe faEts put the defence completely out ut Court." Mr. WYATT having %wily addr cited their Loiti fhips on the fan]: fide, . . Not. Ai.exawnes role on the part of the Defenaant and !aid, that his client was an old (Natant of the Cruwn, who, during his whole life, had been ens. ployed in the muff difficult and dangerous duties. If this decree was paffcd apical( him, it mutt involve the ruin of the Defendaut, and therefore be addreffed the Court with much embarratTment and with great anxiety. The Learned Counfel had raid, that they founded their claim upon the literal meaning of the 13th article of the inflrugions. Thele inilluaions were general orders, given in a printed I am to all the naval florekeepers in the iflands in the Gulph of Florida, under the Britifh eflablifiament ; and it was true, that the article feletFted did ti.p; ly to every fet tlernent in that Carnation, with the exception of this particular ifland ; for it fo happened, that the exchange, inftead of being irregular at Jamaica, was fixed and determined, and the pin:portion tterling and curteney was fettled by the Legiflatien in the ratio of tool. fierlirg, to I.}cl. currency. In Itte 13th article, the exchange was only alluded to; in Jamaica there was no fucit thing as exchange ; theae was at p em is m rubltituted for it, and that premium was not at all contemplated in the infirtaZlions; fo that the Defendant could have been guilty of nn breach or ir.fiingement of thole inflru!Sons, or r.t the 13th at tide, on alone the complaint was faunded.— The cootie of dealing between the Navy Board and tit.rir Officer was completely before the Court ; for a long time he received thefe premiums, without any of jteiatt being made,and finely this tacit afrert of the framer was a forflicieht indication of the *andel (land ing between tise parties with refpeel to the contraet. 'frac Defendant was wholly uninformed, as Inc Rated upon his earh, that his predeceirm had been difmiffed for the arplreatien of there premiums !r , his own emo lument, and in this he was cr , r,firrned by Mr. Brough ton., and by his chief cle.k, Mi. WaJe ; and was this lot of firbflantial three evidence trig he countervailed by the conk:aril-el., gyp , theles, and calculation of probabilities on the other fide ? Mr. Baron GkAHAM-.rig What do you fay to the circinotta:;cc% f hi: giving Admiral Pal kea 45,0001. in Navy Bills, and factificing the I.remiums upott that large amount ?" Mr. AL vatarsor a•--." He confideredhimfelf a, hay. ing the difporal of them, and he is not to be blamed for his libtraiity." Mr. Baron GRAHAM--•-" Even ten per cent. upon that item is a monfirous film ; and if he had a tight to it under his contras with the Navy Board, why did he refign his emoluments to the Admiral ? It locks like a confeinufnefs, that were he to have demanded the premiums of the Admiral, he fhould ha'e inn the risk of cap-1 . 160n." Mr. ALEXANDF It endeavoured, at couflaerable length, to explain the dittinaion between the premium and the exchange i.; hills, and concluded with pro. dining the cvidet ein support of the anfuer of the Defendant. The on;y affidavits read were th ,, fe of George Guy, George HArper, Wiliam Richard WAde, And Henry Broughton, and the turthet dircuffiun the dcti fon were deferred to a future ups• ' COIIRT OF CHANCERY, JUNI? Tx. •TTOtNEY GENERAL V. BARLEY AND OTHRR3. This was an information on the relation of a Mr. Harvey and Mr. M•aih.tws, Churchwardens, and other Paritbionets of the parifh and town of March. in Clic(hire, who complained againa the defendant for kis negletL and mifapproptiation of a very confider able property, given in the year 16oi, ft r the top port of four dittinn charities, one of which was an eflablifhment fix the education of 24 poor boys in Latin and Englifh, the tlipend for the Schoolmaller, who was to be the Curate of the pita, from time to time, being 201. per annum only ; feveral Oates were given for the uf:s of thole charities, on whclit a coi,liderabl.e advance in value had taken place.— The Defendant, as one of the Truftces to thole cha rities, was charged to be the receiver of the rents (he being an Attorney at Law), and with retaining in his hands divers fums of the charity property, and in particular a film, admitted by himfelf in his affi davit, of 3141. exciufive of confiderable other fume in rents up to Lady-day lafi, paid to him, and wholly unappropriated, while the objects of the charity, be ing many of the poor of the place, were fiarving.- I.lc grounds for keeping fuels monies in the Wen dant.% hands were to defray the expet9ed expences of the fait instituted in this caufe. It appeared that the prerent-fehoolmafler uas a blackfmith, and therefore wholly unable to terch Latin. It was pitied of the et urt to order the defendant to pay the furn esprefs ly admitted by him, being the 3141. into Court ; and that he may he enjtined to apply the other monies to the ufe of the charities, until further order, or the hearing of this cattle; and hilly, that lime fcfre:ne might be fliggetted for apptin:ing a proper matter to the fel:wl, in the mean time. It was argued for the defendant that ht had made no advant.o . ;e whatever of the detention of the mo• ney, but apprehended great espence in the fuit, it partaking of a parifh quarrel ; and that he had no intered in refuting the payment of rent offered to him by fume tenants, nor in making pa) ments a year after tilt bile wer e &limed to him, and getting the [7 urn over. ..11.4 r •
