'Treasurer of the May„ _ . /.cep any balance to his for • onmeme snow won mat pie:Otago and rutin, a very large additional salary was given to the Treasurer. When the Noble Viscount came into that office, he accepted the salary oc 40001. a year, in lieu of all fees and emolum►nts whatever.—By the same act that gave him this additional sala- TO, it was also expressly provided, that the money, wham drawn from the Exchequer, should be im- Mediatcly deposited in the Bank, and there kept and drawn for by crafts specifying the particu lar naval services for which it was wanted, and for no other purpose whatsoever. It had been ex pressly proved, that this money had been at vari ous times, and to a very great amount, drawn out of the Bank, and applied to purposes not at all connetted with naval service ; it had been applied to private uses, by Mr. Trotter, the Pay master appointed by the Noble Viscount, the Defendant in this cause, who had authorised him to draw those large sums out of the Bank, (where alone the Aa expressly says the money was to be kept) and transferred to Mr. Trotter's and the Noble Defendant's private Bankers, AS they thought proper.—The duty of the Noble Defend ant was directly and unequivocally prescribed to him, and he was astonished to hear any man say otherwise, and attempt to maintain so oaten:tole a proposition, as that the Noble Defendant was not under a public obligation not to divert the pub lic money intrusted to him, to his °vitt private uses. It such a &dram should be allowed to prevail, what was to become of the principles of criminal law, which applied ezaiflly to a Noble Treasurer of the Navy, or any other splendid appeintmeat, in the same degree, and with the same justice, as to every Clerk of the Bank, or any Merchant's Counting House, and to which they were all equally bound to be amenable. What was to be come of the authority that had been established in the case of Mr. Bainbridge, who was as ac countant in the Pay Office, and who had been prosecuted and feintd guilty of having converted the public money to his own use ? He believed there was no report of the case, but be would state the principles laid down by Lord Mans field, who had presided 30 years at the head of she criminal jurisprudence of this country. It was on * motion in arrest of judgment, and his Lord ship concluded in a few words—He (Lord M.) said, the objeftion is, that this trancidtion amounts at most to a breach of trust, that it was a fraud of a venial natare, and no civil injury ; but, con tinued his Lordship, the law does not look to particular people. It a man accept an office of trust and confidence, especially when he receives a salary, or other emolument, tor the trouble he has in the execution of it, he becomes amenable to answer the King, and His Majesty may call on him to answer for any abuse he may make of that confidence ; and concluded, that this was an indidable offence ; and Mr. Bainbridge was sen tenced to be imprisoned ►iz Calendar months, and to pay a fine of 20001. If this, said Mr. Pigott, was deemed a misdemeanour, and proper to be tried in a ciminal Court, what must. be the case of the Noble Defendaat now before your Lordships, whafias owned, without the confesison 4 being extorted from him, that he took the sum of 10,0001. of the public money, and that be never would disclose what be had done with it. Who had [anther anfessed, that, though he did not give a positive authority to Mr. Trotter to use the public money, he knew of his doing so—per fatly understood it, and did not prohibit it. It was, toerefore, for their Lordships now to in struft the Noble Defendant's Counsel, as well as himself, what were the principles of law to be applied to this remedial Aft of Parliament. Mr. Adam, the Learned Counsel, who spoke secoud in behalf of the Noble Delendaut, said, that it the money had been once edually put into the Bank, the scope, aim, and all purposes of the Afl were answered; and he might afterwards draw it out at Isle pleasure, only specifying in the draft, that it was for naval purposes ; but so flimsy an argument he had never heard before.— Tae fourth Clause of the net authorised the Treasurer to draw for what he wanted fur Naval Services; but to draw the money fur the private uses of Mr. Trotter, lie ought to say, to whom the money was due, and for what ser vices performed; and lie had no right to keep any money in his hands, except what was abso lutely necessary for onell payments. The argu ment teat the money had been repaid, and that the public was no loser, was equally weak and untenable. Admitting that it had been repaid in three, five, or seven years afterwards, still the breach of the Alt of Parliament is the same ; tor that expressly pt °bilks him from using the public money, fur any other than Naval purposes; and the Noble Defendant, in his situation of Treasurer, had no right to stiller Trotter to use the public money for his own private ends ; he knew it, and, as such, was guiity of a breach of the Aft, and amenable to answer for it, as much as Mr. Bain bridge. The Noble Defendant had, doubtless, many friends among their Lordships ; many there were also, who might esteem the Noble Lord for his lung services, eminent talents, and social qualities ; all these prepossessions, of which human nature cannot divest itself, when aeting as mere men, be was, however, certain, would be laid asisle, and done away from their Lordships' minds as judges; and that they would consider die Noble Defendant as amenable to justice as the meanest subje& in h.e kingdom. Here the Attorney-General concluded ; and, after a short pause, Mr. WRIT /111•111 addressed their Lordships to the fullowin t .. purport : '• lily Lords, after the very able and podia argument which your Lordships have just hosed from my Learned Friend, I am commanded by the Gammons to proceed with the Accusation of the Noole Defendant, and to reply to those arguments winch have been urged by the Learn ed Counsel for the Noble Lord at your Bar, in order to waken the case which I have had the Luilour to open to y. ur Lordships, and to submit to your consideration and decision, or to prejudice your Lordships' minds against the evidence aria other matters incidental to the proceeding. in this 'Friel. But how shall I adefress you, Lordships, after the econfident manner in which the Learned Counsel for the Noble Lord at your Bar have spoken, both set the evidence i adduced, of the entire innocence of their Noble Client, and of the proceedings of the Commons against him ? I have not the dazzling powers of eloquence possessed by the Syracusan Orator, and if I bad, I would nos use them as the Learned counsel hive_ done their's, either to warp and p rejudice the minds of your Lordships, or to OVI.I ra, we filiadiiitiew se art worm prowl:net I hope your Lordships will noise some expres sions which have been extorted from me by the arguments of the Learned Counsel. If, in looking to the authority of those honest Com missioners, I have been animated to take this mat ter up in the Commons, have been commanded by them to open it before your Lordships, and after having hewn the stone, and drawn the water, I am at last deputed to put the key-stone to the business, I shall have occasion to request your LoreLhips' patient attention to what I have further to offer. The Learned Gentlemen have epdeavoured to throw out lures and temptations, to draw me from the course of the argument ; but I hope I shall be able to chew them, that I am not to be diverted, either by compliments, or sarcasms, from the dischage of the duty with which I have been honoured on the present occasion ; nor prevented from boldly saying, that I have proved Viscount Melville guilty of the charges I have brought against hem. I was not men% when 1 informed your Lordships of the talents of the Learned Gentlemen ; they have sheven themselves to be so ; they have, by turns, displayed wit, sarcasm, satire, sophistry, in short, every thing but sound argument, and that, they well knew, would nut answer their purpose. They have also dealt pretty roundly in assertion, and have very confi dently told your Lordships that our proofs are nothing—absolutely nothing. 'Fbe extraordinary do trine they promulgated respeeling the prin ciples of law, just now answered and refuted in so masterly and convincing a manner, by my Learned and Eloquent Friend, would have made but a solitary figure in the pielure, by it. self, and therefore the Learned Gentlemen have determined to match it by a doetrine equally as CUTIOIS and extraordinary with regard. to fad.— 'They' have positively said, that our proofs ■re notlaisg. Would Viscount Melville, with all those " abilities which every one allows he so eminently possesses, with all those powers of eloquence and oratory which I have frequently heard him dis play ; would he, the Noble Defendant, have used such arguments ! No, my Lords, I am sore he would not—the Noble Defendant would have spurned them from him, lest he should incur the censure of your Lordships by such per version of words and sentences. He was right therefore to trust his defence to the Learned Gentlemen, whose long experience in the praCtice of indiscriminately defending right or wrong, whose eminent skill in all the wily subtleties of the profession, to which each of them is so great an ornament, rendered theta equal to the lack of forming, . and boldly promulgating dettrines, which nobody else had beard of, till so confidently delivered by the Learned Gentlemen. My Lords, I will not follow the example of the Learned Counsel, by stating what happened in or out of this Haase a but „I-essay state what has happened in the cows., of she trial, which *frees the public justice of the conatry, without incurring the insi nuation or charge, that I wish unnecessarily to prolong it, or to trespass wantonly on your Lord ships' time. The Noble Lord, at your Lordships' Bar, is now on his trial for high crimes and mis demeanours, to which he has been brought by the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland, be before a tribunal of Judges, who ad as a Court of Honour. If circumstances of delay have occurred in former cases of this nature, which have brought the trial by Impeachment into disrepute, ro blame on that account can at tach 19 to the Managers on the present occasion, and I feel happy in being able to congratulate the Noble Defendant, that no delay has taken place, but such as has been occasioned by the Learned Counsel, in conduCting his defence ; and it is with satisfadion and pri4e, that I can appeal to your Lordships, and to the world, and boldly say, that the Commissidners have maintained their dignity without descending to any harshness; that every feeling of the Noble Defendant has been consider ed, and attended to, and every indulgence given, that the nature of the case could possibly aliow." Mr. WHir ants!) requested time until to-mor ruw to finish his teply.—Adjourned. - . .. SATURDAY. MAY 17. Mr. WHIT eft ten resumed his reply, and con cluded it.—The case being closed on both sides, at ball-past three, the Court broke up. TIIVISD•Y, Joss 12. This being the day appointed by the Lord. for giving judgment. about tea o'clock, the Speak er of the Heuse olCommons took the Chair, and after counting the House. proceeded at half past ten to Westminster Wall. The Lords were closely abut up until 12 o'clock, during which time, the several articles of Impeachment were read, and the final arrangements made for passing judg naent in the High Court of Parliament. Fheir Lordships then proceeded in the accustomed pin cession to the Hall. The Peers sat exaely :iv ranged according to their rank, as they wete called upon from s paper which the Lord Chan cellor held in his hand. The Llano Cu A ace Lula addressed them thus : —" My Lords, you have heard and examined the charges preferred, in the name or the Com mons of Great Blitaia and Ireland, of high crimes and misdemeanours, against Henry Lord Viscount Melville, and the first question 1 haw to put to you is—ls Henry Lord Viscount Mel ville guilty of the first article of the charge (then beginning with the youngest Baron) and ad. dressing him by his title, he added—" what say you to this article r. . The same question was repeated, in the same manner, to each attendant Peer, upon each ar ticle, in succession,up to the highest title; and after His Royal Highness Frederick Augustus Duke of York had voted, the Lord Chancellor con cluded with saying—" and I, Thomas, Lord Ers kine do say, that he is, or is not guilty, as it hap pened."

As soon as the,Peers retired, Viscount Melville was surrounded by a number of Peeresses, and other friends, who testified the most extreme joy at the result of the trial. The whole of the Royal Dukes attended; the Bishops of Winchester, Bath and Wells, and St. Asaph. Amongst the Peers who occasionally voted in support of some of the charges were—the Dukes of York, Clarence, Kent, CsmbriciAe, Sussex, and Gloucester ; Earls Lauderdale, Stan hope, Derby, and Oxford ; Lord.
