NAVAL STOREKEEPERS AT JAMAICA. " The Navy Board, in their letter to the Officers of Jamaica Yard of the 14th September 1797, very properly enquire, whether the accounts and papers of the office had been delivered over to Mr. Dick ? We lament that on the receipt of their answer of 20th December 1797, this enquiry was not followed up, by ascertaining what papers were received by him, and particularly whether the warrant of 4th September 1795, respecting the taking up money, was not amongst them : This would have cut off all subterfuge, and saved much future discussion ; though we do not think it essential in the considera tion of the condua which a public servant, with such minute and particular instrudions before him, ought to have pursued. Mr. Dick deposes, in his very extraordinury evidence, that where the prac tice of office and the instruttions were at, variance, he followed the former; and the reasons for his having done so, are sufficiently obvious ; such con digt, however, cannot be too strongly reprobated. " Notwithstanding the late striking instance of neglect in Mr. Smith, the correspondence that took place on the subject, and his consequent dismission, yet from the time of Mr. Dick's appointment in July 1796, to the 16th of September 1800, the cash accounts continued to be transmitted from Jamaica without any alteration in form, or credit being given for the premium on Bills of Exchange ) or any en (miry as the part of the Navy Board, why it was not done. . . 64 On the 18th of September 1800, a letter was wtizten by the Nail' Board to Vice-Admiral Lord Hugh Seymour, referring to hear-Admiral Parker's letter in 1795. observing, that Mr. Dick had not [PRICE SIXPENCE. brought the premium on his Bills to, account, and remarking, that though it had been the prattice of Naval Storekeepers to stand to the risk in the fluc tuation of the premium and discount on their bills, they thought that this had been done away by their warrant of the 4th of September I 79.5. A warrant to the same effet as theletter to Lord Hugh Sey mour, was written to Mr. Dick ; stating further, that they will not at present determine on the ap propriation of the money he had received, but re quiring him to obey his instruCtions in future • and charging him with not supplying the Post Office with bills on the application of the Depu ty Post cnahl *— - leis - master General, to _Ule him to make remit tance.s, without being obliged to purchase private bills at a risk a; well as loss by the exchange. " From the ttme that this order was communicat ed by Lord Hugh Seymour to Mr. Dick, lie of ne cessity brought the premium to the public credit, in his monthly cash accounts ; but he soon after re signed the office, and returned to England. " In order to ascent tin, with as much precision as the case would admit, to what extent the public had sufired, diving the late war, by not Deceiving the benefit of the exchange, we called upon George flibbert", Thomas Hughan, Robert Millegan, Alex ander Henry, and John Willis, Esquires, merchants Of eminence having conneetion with the island of JaMaica, fully qualitied to give us information on that sabjed, whose examinations, taken upon oath, appear in the appendix; and sve also. requested of the Board of Ordnance to furnish us with the rates of premium brought to account during this pe r i o d by their officers atlarnaica, 44 It appears, from the account of bills, which has been laid before us, from the Ist of January 1723, to the 31st of December 1800, between which pe riod the premiums werenot carried to account, that the Naval Storekeepers at Jamaica dresy von the Navy Board for 536,2581. 2s. 6d. sterling; and, from toe best evidence we have been able to obtain, the premiums, during that time, upon a low average, amounted to 101, per cent, and consequently the public have lost the sum of 53,6251. 16s, 3d. " The bills drawn by Mr. Dick, upon which he did not account to Government for the premium, :mounted to 364,0001. therefore, by the above ave rage of 101. per cent.. the. public have sUstained a loss of :46,4001. thereon ; but; had we confined the average to the rate of premium whilst he was in of fice, the loss might fairly have been calculated at a greater sum. _ „.. . 44 From the instrualons given to I..ointnanders in Chief, by the Admiralty, we :Ind 'lre - a part of their duty to approve all hills dawn bY:Naral Stole keepers, if satisfied *Vile nlO.lleY hat. been pro cured at the best rate of exchange ; yet it appears that Mr. James Dick gave to the Coriiniander. in Chief, bills to the amount of 43;0001. iwithont charg ing him any premium, though at thin period the rate of exchange was high,- Qa Mr,_DicJes being questioned to this point, notWlthitandfirg be had in a previous part "of his examination ;informed ns that he considered the premium on his bibs as hii property, yet, in reply, he said, that 6 he thought the Cep mender in Chief, when he wanted public bills to/re mit his prize money to Ergland, had as good a right to them as he had.;' but as -Mr. Dick neither pbs sessed a right to take hi nwif or give up to any other what belonged to Government, we see no reason Cur deducing from the charge against him the premium on these bills, which he °Sight to have received, and brought to account and we observe, by-the evi. dence of Rear Admiral Biitah, that Mr. Dick pur posed to give him bills without receiving , any pre. mium, which he declined accepting, alledging at a reason for his refusal, that if it belonged to Govern ment, he should have to pay it hereafter, and. if,it Was the fair emolument of Mr. Dick, he had no right •to deprive him of it. The Rear Admiral thinks that • Mr. Dick did not say, whether it was his perquisite or the property of Government, but that he had written on the subjea and had received no answer. Rear Adfniral Bhgh therefore insisted on paying, • and did athially pay to him, fifteen per cent pre mium on 4,0001. ; which circumstances strongly prove, that Mr. Dick did not at that time considsr, as he has stated to us in his eiticnnee, the preiniurn on his bills to be his property, or a fair perquisite of his office. 44 In order to acquire every pots:ble intaination relating to these transaaions, we thought it -proper to call upon the Comptroller and other Members of the Navy Board ; by some of whom it is stated, that owing to the multiplicity of business, the subjea of the premiums on Bills of Exchange drawn at ..11-• • niaica hid been wholly lost sight of till September 1600, since which period the premiums had been carried to account ; but it appears that no measures were taken for the recovery of what had been-pre vieusly received by the Naval Store-keepers, until it became a subjea of our enquiry. We new un derstand that a suit has been instituted against Mr. Vick. " We have hitherto confined our observations to one part of the subject only, the abuses committed in drawing of, Bills of Exchange for money taken up for the use of the Naval Department at Jamai ca: The abuses in the expenditure of this money, and the wilful neglects in not sending timely de r mends for stores, by which a necessity' for stseh large disbursements was created, though atitiles _not so easily deteCted, or precisely substantiated, are of infinitely more consequence ; indeed, it is chiefly from this source that the Occasion of drawing Bills, and the consequent great profit by the exchange, took its rise. 4 4 The irregularity of Mr. Rick in the transmis. sion of his accounts of stores ,expended and remain ing, and of the demands for the probable exigencies of the service, and also in the mode of making purchases, appear in a very vnluniinous correspon dence between the Commanders in Chief on the Jamaica station, the Navy Board, and Mr. Dick (which we caused to be laid before us), as well as from the examination of two of the Members, and the Secretary of the Committee of Stores ; whose evidence, with a letter from the Navy Board to Vice kiLdmiral Lord Hugh Seymour, we have only * = i '4 •1 rf .~~ i 1803. r, JUNE 1, TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST-INDIA STUCK.
