Mr. MANNERS SgTTON said, he rose in the discharge of a duty which he owed, to bring forward the Claims of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales intcoot Reion venues could tem o hs fatatcctiloei is ui to tei idoc t nl c fallen h se 1 y of l that Cornwall.i o m substantiall el c yet,he t b c it t forward a question of such great importance. appeared to be the sense of the House,- that this - 2 - uestruti he Should now take up as.small a portion of their time as possible. The Motion, he intended to make was for the appointment of a Committee, to inquire what part of the Revenues olthe Dutchy of Corn wall had been received, and by whom , - from the Birth of the Prince - of Wales to his attaiping the ia ntnoisl b o he at had t age of 2 t, and what Sums had been advanced to His Royal Highness up to the 27th of June, 1795, to_ wards the payment of his debts. In making this Motion, he should be warranted by the .decision of Parliament, and the Committee would have, to con sider in the first place, whether.the Prince of Wales was entitled to the Revenues of the Dutchy of Corn_ wall from the time of his birth; and if so, by whom those Revenues had been received, and how applied. He should state shortly the circumstances on which he relied, in order to satisfy• Gentlemen, this was not a Question involving any point of doubt.or dif ficulty with respect to the Law of the case ; if it had,. he would not have brought it before the House in this form. The Dutchy of Cornwall was first granted by Edward 111. to his. eldest Son Edward the Black Prince, who was then only eight years of -age. The eldest Son of the King had ever since that period bien born Duke of Cornwall, and the Dutchy wi:h all its possessions vested in him at his Birth. It seemed extraordinary therefore, that the King could receive and .possess the Revenues of.lhe Dutchy from the Birth of the Prince until he ar rived at the age of zt. In saying ,this, he begged to be understood, that there was no controversy be tween the King and the Prince of \\tales upon the subject. Had the King really himself received.the 'Revenues of the Dutchy, and refused to account for them, neither he nor any other Member would be suffered to agitate the Question' in that House.' A doubt had however been stated on a former -occa sion, by an Honourable and Learned Friend in that House, and by a Noble .and Learned Friend in,the other House, whether the King could . not, as Guardian of the Prince, receive the Revenues of the Dutchy of Cornwall till the Prince attained the age of z ,• without account.
