I tranfaiiion and he Rated, that the fats relating re the two fume ;lilted to Mr. Steele were communi cated to himisst the loth of February, ,806, by Mr. Brad Maw, in thn. pretence of Mr. Harmond and Mr Thomas ; but that, as he confidered himfelf com pletely out of office at that time, he could not inter fere officially, nor apply any poffible remedy ; that he had, however, elefired Mr. Thomas to write to Mr. Steele, that he might infure his feting him, and to let him (Mr. Role) know, whether any interpo. Edon of bis, with Mr. Steele, would be neeeffary ?-- that ire had alto a perfnnal interview with Mr. Steele, and afterwards wrote a letter to him, enfor cing what he had recommended in converfation ; the anfwer to which led him to relt fatisfied that the whole matter would be commonicated, without de lay, to Lord Grenville, nr the Paymafter General. (a) ' As no entry was made of thefe two fums in the eetraordinaries of the army prefented to Parliament, it became an objell of inquiry, for what reafon they weet,ent included ? to which Mr. Wood, Deputy Cattier in the Pay Office, anfwered, that they were omitted by the exprefs order of Mr. Steele ;—and upon being further examined, he Paid, that other ferns had all, been omitted in a former year (1797) by Mr. Steele's direeinn, which had been advanced to Mr. Carey, Pratbutnon, and Bryan ; adding, that with out filch particular direBinn he thould have thought it his duty to include ell thole films. In one of Mr. Steele's letters (c) it is to he obferved, that the rea fun he afllgns for this omiffion is, " that the rums fo iffued, being intended to be replaced at as earlier period, could not with propriety have formed part of the army extraordinaries." If loch has been the rule of that office in making up the account of extraordinaries, and if it has been alfo ufual that all fums fo iffued, if replaced before the delivery of the accounts to the auditors, fhould not appear at all in thole accounts, your Committee judge both thefe pradlices highly improper to be continued, becaufe they tend to keep back from the Houfe, in the fiat iaftance, and finally from the auditors, the full knowledge of the difpofal of the public money, and to facilitate the temporary application of rums to pavan of a different nature from thofe to which they are defined by the votes of Parliament. (1) The money iffued to Mr. Carey and the two ethers in 1797, was for the purpofe of procuring a fupply of (peck far army fervices (e), from Ham burgh, at a time when there was great difficulty in obtaining it, owing to the rettridtion of payments in calls by the Bank. Mr. Boyd undertook to import at large firm, and the perfons who received the money, which amounted to too,oool. by the Pacesetter's drafts on the Bank, were nominated by Mr. Boyd, for the purpofe of keeping the tranfadion fecret, which he judged neceffary for its fuccefs. The fervice was not performed • and the principal fum fo iffned was repaid by Mr. Boyd, in the follow. ing year, by a fimilar funs which he received on ac count of another fervice (the remitting of money to the Cape of Good Mope for the payment of troops) which he contradted with Government to perform ; in which he elf& failed. The queltion of interefit tsp. on the t00,0c.001. was involved in the difcuffion of fome claims preferred by Mr. Boyd againtt Govern. ',anent ; and the repayment of the fecond fum is Rill in a courfe of legal proceeding, in confequence of the bankruptcy f the houfe of Ileffrs. Boyd and Co. when. proper Reps were immediately taken for reeo wring it, by diredtions from the Lords of the Trea. fury ; (J) and your Committee are informed, that the principal difficulties which have prevented a fa. tisfaEtory title from being made to purchafers (under this bankruptcy) are now nearly adjufted, and in the courfe cf the next Term, it is probable that the molt confidetable purchafers will be ready to complete their porchafes, and to pay their purcbafe money into er ort. (g.) Upon the important fubje& of recommending meafures which may prevent fimilar abufts in future, your Committee obferve with great concern, that the moll obvious, and perhaps the only etre/Nal remedy has been found by experience hitherto unattainable ; but they think it neceffary to reprefent as their deli berate opinion, that without an early examination, and auditing of accounts, irregularities can hardly be prevented ; and that temptation will never be wanting to make ufe of public money, While there coins a great probability of its being for a I6ng time uncalled for. After the Accounts come before the Commillioners for auditing, no attention is wanting in requiring proper warrants in difcharge for every payment, and no fum is allowed without a voucher of that kind ; but fo flow has been the progrefs hi. therto, that notwithfanding the obfervations made on the fubjeet by the Committee of Finance in 1797 and 1795, not one account of any Paymafter °enc. rat has been finally fettled and declared, nor made ready for declaration, in the nine or ten years which have fince elapfed. Parts of the accounts and Vouchers for the year 1782, were delivered to the Auditors in 1758, 1791, and 1798 ; parts of thofe for 1783 were deli. vered to them in 1792 and 179 S ; parts of thole for 2784. and 1794; and parts of thole for 1.785, in 1797. It appears alfo that a fupplementary account of the Paymafler General, from 24th April to the acth December 1782, and a fupplementary account for t 783, were delivered into their office. together with the attelled accounts fur 1784 and 1735, no longer ago than on 9th February laft. A letter from the Chairman of that Board (h) affords a reafonable expeslation that the account of the Paymafler General for the year 1782 will be finally audited, and ready for declaration about Chriltmas next ; and that, provided there be no de. lay in the delivery of the fubfecptent accounts, the efent arrear of the Pay Office Accounts may be cleared at the Auditor's Office in the courfe of five or fix years. It will be the ditty of your Commiztee, Ihnitld they be re-appointed, in the editing Seflion, to make an eatly enquiry into the progrefs which !hall have been made during the recefs, and to con fider how far the provifions of the Ad of 46th Geo. 111. c. 141, under which the prefent Board of Com rniffioners for auditing the public accot)iti was ap pointed, have contributed to the objea 'they were intended to anfwer, by facilitating the due examine tisin and more fpeedy fettiement of the public ac counts; and whether arty and what further regulations may be deviled, for the attainthelit of lo important and clearable an end.

Much of the delay, which occurs in procuring the clearir4 and covering Warrants from the War Office, without which the Paymafters Accourrs cannot be examined by the Auditors, may be removed, by making the tranfaitions between thefe two Offices mote fimple and methodical. It would be deferable in all inftances to iffue Warrants at once, inftead of tranfaaing fo much of the ordinary btafinefs by letters, which has formed a con Rant fubjeft of com , plaint on the part of the Paymafters ; and it appears that if warrants on account were granted by the Secretary at War for regimental fervices not com pleted within the year, the Paymafiers Accounts might be delivered loon after the end of every year to the Auditors for examination. The iffue of money being in fait made originally upon the authority of the letter only, no other in quiry teems to be made in granting the fubfequent Warrant, than whether it agrees with the letter; and therefore any additional fignatures to the Warrant, which bear the appearance of further check and ex amination, add in reality no fort of fecnrily to the public, while the terponfibility (which can never be deferable} becomes divided between two offices. Your Committee fee no fort of neceffitv for every individual warrant being Signed by his Majefly, nor for its being counterfigned by the L nds of the Trea. fury. accept where money is Med by their orders.— In all cafes Where the Treafury is not concerned, the motley is now afloat!) , paid upon the requifition of the Secretary at War, and his name alone ought to Rand as fofficient authority for the warrant, making him, in whole department it is, refpoofible for the fervice and the expenditure. It would be Sufficient for his Melly, in *boot all money is originally vetted by graat'ollssitliament, to Sign a warrant for large fums from time to time, leaving the detail of the application of them. as is the pratice with regard to monies itTued on account of the Navy and the Ordnance, to the department •under whole dirations the particular Service is per formed._ The delay accafirmed by the warrants being taken up by Army Agents, initead of being direetly return ed to the Pay Office through their own officers, ought to have been entirely obviated, as it feems already to have bleenin Arne degree; with regard to what are called clearing Warrants for Regimental Ser vices (i). !sr() reafon appears why they should pafs at all into the-Agent's hands, who may have an in. dire& interest in withholding them, and for the par ing of whore accounts they are in no degree mpg. rite. Another rep:dation proper to be adopted is a dif- I (trent manner"of making out the Accounts of Dart- 11 ordinaries to be laid before Parliament, which the prefenc Paymaller informed your Committee that he had dirnded to be done in future; (k) and that an Account fhould be regOlarly kept in the Office, elaffed under the fame heads as thole for which the grants of Parliament are annually voted. No rums which have been iffued in the courfe of the year, ought ever to be left nut of the account of Extraordinarits annually laid before Parliament, for they ereatea temporary deficiency in the balance of the Paymatter's Cafh, even if they are to be repaid ; they therefore fhonld be noticed in the fitfl account after the iffae by a memorandum, as rums not ultimately to be charged upon the public ; and credit fhould be taken for them in any fubfequent account, when they are actually replaced at the Bank. It woul3 alto tend materially to the clearneft of all there accounts, if no articles of expenditure were inferted, but fuch, as relate aridly to the army ; infiead of which, it is to be obferved, that ifrues of money for the purctiafe of corn, and various miscellaneous purports not di redly relating to that fervice, have not unfrequently been admitted into them, and intermixed with Army fervices ; which your Committee conceive to belong more properly to the particulars of the diffribution of any vote of credit which may be granted for the year in which fuch articles appear. A greater regularity in bringing up the accounts in the office ittelf, is effential in various points of view; and the attention of the Paymafter himfelf is particularly neceEiry for infuring the attendance and application of all the Officers who are under him, and for enforcing a more punctual and accurate dif charge of their duty, than appears to have hitherto prevailed. Their books &mid be frequently balanced and the Cafh Book ought always to be made np to the lateft period poffible ; to the negled of which k is in Come mearute owing, that it has been impoffible to conform to the provifions of the Statute 45th Geo. c. SS. and the confequence has been, that ever fence the paling of that Al, the sth fec. prefcribing the mode in which the monthly memorials are to be prefented to the Treafury ; and the Bth clan& in the Auditors Ad, 46 Geo. 111. e. 143. rec. 8. requiring all accountants to deliver in within three months aftet the end of each year, an account current of all mums received and paid ,by them within the year, have been totally difregarded. It would have been neeefrary in this place, to ob ferve upon the imperfect manner fn whicK the entries of money paid by individuals to the Paymallet's ac count, have been made by the Clerks of the Bask in the Cafh Book of the Office, if your Committee had not received an affurance from the Governor of the Bank, (1) that dire lions have been given to difconti nue this practice, with regard to this, and all othei public offices. The practical inconvenience to which the former mode was liable, appeared in a remarkable intlance, (m) in the courfe of the malt year, when no lets a rum than 295,3481. remained for about four months in the Bank, without any information of the payment being given to the Paymafier ; which, though he ought certainly to have received from the Account ant in his Office, who was employed in making the payment, yet no good reafon can be aligned why the negligence of that Officer was not corrected by a communication from the Bank. A larger iffue of money from the Exchequer, to the amount of that rum, than would otherwife have been required, mull have been the confequence, and the public were of courfe either unneceiarily increa (i) Appendix, Nos. 22.31.—(J) No. 30.—..(1) Appendix, No. 47. (a) Neu ;r. 42. 43 • flog Exchequer Bills, knd paying interell for fum which aught to hive been at their ditpofal ; o Cervices which wete to be paid with this money muff have been (offered to remain onfatisfied. The Mt 45 Geo. 111. c. 58. having repealed that of 1783, is now the only fubfaing Mt for regulat ing the hufinefs of this office ; and it therefore became the duty of your Committee to examine how far it had been complied with. or had been found effeBnal in the remaining points which it attempts to regulate. The time of making up the Accounts, dirctied by feet. 21. has not been ebferved, any more than the claufe in the Auditor's AO, 46 Geo. 111, c. t 4t, fee. 8, above referred to. The claufe wish regard to Regimental Agents, fec. 23, has indeed been attend ed to in term., but it ha► been found of little ufe in praftice; becaufe the Paymalter, having no means of • knowing the balance in the hands of Agents, has no method of controverting the flatements which they 'may think proper to deliver in, as to the aggregate isalance of their accounts. it being always potlible, that though an Agent may be a debtor for one re. giment (where he is concerned for feveral) he may be a creditor on account of another. The books of the office have been brought up fob• fequent to the inquiry of the former Committee, to as late a date as the nature of the cafe admits .of; but at that period, anti when the preftnt Paymafter was appointed, in April 1807, the fair cafh book was not brought up later that the month of November, 180 ; nor were the accounts frequently, nor regu• larly balanced. It would hardly have been deemed requifite to point nut the propriety of appointing . perfons duly qualified by their knowledge of writing and arith metic, and of a fufficient age, to difcharge the duties of clerks in the if the prefent Payniafter had not very lately found it neceffary to difcharge fome of thole who had been admitted iota the office, on account of their infufficiency and inexperience (e). If your Committee ch• not recommend any altera tion in the power of drawing for money, to whatever amount, which is at prefent veiled in the Paymaner !or in the Calhier, it is not from any want of confide eation beftowed upon this part of the fubje& ; but :they are at a lots to know if it be withdrawn from thole officers in whom it can be lodged more properly sr with abfolute fecurity ; for it is ittarettionable, that in fome department or other of Government, it "mutt neceffarily be placed. If more fignatures than one Should be required to every draft, there is great Mk of the public fervice being continually retarded, and the inconveniences will be much greater, if de lays fhould be interpred in the firft inftance, of the :tame fort with thole which now occur after the pay. :ments are made, and which tend only to ()Mira& the. lettlement of account, but not the fervice itfelf. It IWould inevitably follow, horn any fuch divifion of irerponlibility, that, in the multiplicity of public bufi. nets, credit would be given implicitly by one depart ment of Government to another, that the form of figning woo!J Coon become a matter of mirk, and that the Paymafter would aft under as little praftical refiraint as he does at prefent. If the Paymaller and Calhier fhould be &reeled jointly to fign every draft, forme fort of additional check may perhaps be laid upon the latter, but none will be felt by the head of the office : and it is obvious that if fuch had been the ellablifbed pratilice of the office before the date of the two drafts which have given occafion to this inquiry, the Paymafter would not in the flightet degree bare been precluded by it from drawing for the money in the very mode he did, nor from detaining it for as long a time in his poffetrion. The whole bufinefs of the Pay Office is fo inti• mately conneSed with that of the War Offiee, that it is hardly poffible to report fully upon the former, without entering into an ample examination of _the latter; but in the particulars which have been point ed out, their relative fituation admits of alteration, with advantage to the public, as far at leaft as may be fufficient to prevent the Paymallet's accounts from waiting for the auditing of thole of army agents and others, in which he has no concern, and over whom he has no controul. To examine whether he , has difeharged his duty, by aping money upon re gnlar vouchers, proceeding either from the War Of fice or the Treafury, cannot be a matter of intricacy or delay ; and if the Secretary at War fhould be au thorized to grant warrants upon account for all ler vices not completed within the year, and to grant upon his foie authority warrants for all other let vices as more formal and regular documents than letters, for every payment, the fame pratlice being alio in• troduced into the Treafury, when any Miles are di reeled by that Board fur Army Cervices ; and, if fur ther, the Auditors fliould be empowered and required by an alteration of the Mt, (if neceffary) to exa• mine feparately the accounts of the Extraordinaries as loon as they are prefented to them, and to corn• yore every payment with the Bank Cafh Book, there is every reafon to expeet, not only that every Pay. mallet's account might be fettled within a fhort pe riod after the expiration of each year, but that a fubftantial check would be provided againft all temp tation to withdraw money from the fervice for which it is granted, when the detention of any fuch mifap plicatiou mutt immediately follow the examination of the annual accounts compared with the cab book of the Bank. This opinion of your Committee is fortified by that of the Chairman of the Board of Auditing Accounts', —who fated his belief, that if the cafh accounts re.l gaited by the 46 Gen. 111. tot, fec. B. were deliver ed into the Audit Office, as well as the accounts of fervice alto referred to in that Cation, and if the cans accounts were compared with the Accountant's Bank book, it would not be [liable for the Paymafler General, or any-other public accountant, to receive public money upon drafts made payable to himfelf, without that circumflance falling under the obferva don of the Commiffioners. (o) With regard to regimental accounts, and the diffi cultic: which occur in expediting and fettling them, Come judicious fuggeftions have been received by your Committee, which will defeive further confide ration, whenever the mode of keeping and palling accounts in the War Office (hall come under their examination. That the prefent fyflem is defeElive, may be concluded from a long experience of its being found totally inadequate to obtain the two main ob ' teas of peripiciiity and expedition ; but whether it Ihould be abfolutely changed, or partially modified, your Committee have not as yet received information fufficient to determine.
