the necessity of attending to rational economy. tier was there a pen,nii to the kingdom more aim loto to attend to the 1111ggrM1011 , of the House of Csietaanini on this point than the Noble Duke at elsis head of the Onveiiiiiient of Ireland. In the V= t instance. he thought he would shear the that, Udmurt, and even the Corn laissioners themselves, were mistaken in thinking the allowing Mr. Howard to retire on his full salary of are hutuilett pounds a-year, was at all &deviation from the law or principle/401'cm. notuy. This Gentleman held the office from the year 1800, (through successive Adasinistrations,) as &inv. ruecure. As such lie had received it; fur tlinugh it was constituted by a indent during plea sure., it was one of thole well understood to hr per manent, so long as the individual did not miscon duct himself. Whenever it was iieces.ary, in this great reign of reform. to do away a rinecure place, a e 1111 l pensatims was giver., and it was upon this ac knowledged print iple, that when the Post-office of was new•modelled, and a sinecure Tres alter was removed to snake way for an ttliciriit Officer. the salary was continued to the iwr,ini so removed. This was the 'lain stair of the E:11.4.. Hr knew not for what the sinecure Wit* granted, butionly that when necessary to re-model the office, it would have hero thought unjust to call 011 a per son to do a duty in a situation which he had re ce..cil as a ceiruplete sinecure, or to dismiss him with less titan his original salary. Under there cou biderationii, he would inert the resolutions by mov ing the previous question. Mr. liATIIVIIST and • few words, in order to pro- cure a fall expLitiatioir of the caw. Mr W. POLE explained. • ___ _ Mr. Wilmot:An contrasted the statement of the Right lin). Gentleman, with the report of the Commissioners, and contended, dat the lutter was most deserving of the sanction of the House, and it declared the superannuation of this Gentleman, to be a eiolation of principle, the more rep►ehensible, as he had never done any duty during the eight years he was in office. The Right Hon. Gentle man had explained the nature of patent offices, hut he could not conceive what kind of a patent office it was, is which a person was to lose his situation from sui4conduct, in a mere sinecure place. This Gent. was, he understood, in the prime of life ; and if any new duties were to be performed, the Government unAlet to have called on him to execute them from th of time forward, sod not burden tlw people with another salary to another officer. If the (tight thou. Gentleman was no the dark respecting the cause of originally granting this inner -ore, he might perhaps obtain some information from a Noble Lord (Castlereagh) not now in his place, and a Right Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Foster), who bad often denounced the grants for certain purposes in or about the year 1800. Was tt then possible to come to the pre% ion. question, ml so scanda lous a job as this ? He could not ;where that Mt. %Osten& dare do it. The public were saddled with 1.1001. for what was done by a Clerk at perhaps WI. paid out of the pocket of the original holder ♦f the o♦fce. lie would ►ike to know what were the ditties of the Treasurer now ? Mr. W. Pima said, he had no objection to give the Hon. Gentleman information on this point. Tite CHAIICELLUI of the EXCIMICEII argued at some length 011 the same side with the last speaker. and contended, that this case did nut come within the purview of the Acts alluded to. Sir S. ROMILLY delimited coining to the pre vious question, and contrasted the weight that ought to be given to the opinion of Commiwooners out oath, and the bare iorsoutptions of the Hon. Gentlrm.tn oppoite. The Commissioners considered the Geis tlenin having done no duty fur eight years. as an aggravation of the sinecure ; but on this very ag grivalion the Right Hon. Gentlemen opposite rest ed their defelier. Hr cou•idered it as a gross job, ■nd would cote tgaiii,t Ike previone question. Mr. Ultima made some excellent remarks on the practice 4)l,min-remounting stout, able, healthy, young men ; and thought it would be an amusing ;notion to have them all produced at the Bar, that the House might judge of the efficiency of the public offiz:ers by the ability of Clove removed for in.; efficiency. He believed it, however, impossible for any Ministry to resist all applications of this kind ; and thought the House would do well by agreeing to the motion of the Him. Baronet, to mark their de termination to resist any departure from the system of economy laid down for the direction of those re tiring from public utficts. Mr. P. Moore, sir. Giles, Mr. M.
