The Rtport• then goes: on .to cite cases, to shew that these Orders and' Authorities were not always . communicated th& - B,:irack-Master-General i n the .same manner,,the last, of which.cases took place its 1803, in which year, in pursuance of a letter dated the . 15th. May, from Lord HoliAthr, then one or the Sectelaries of State, to the Barrack-Master- General, barracks were erected for 50,000. men, and 10,000 horses. By His Majesty's Regelations of the .7th of Fe bruary, 1805, hoWever, 'by which theßarra'ckbffice has from that time been, and ,now is, conduCted; the ant tiorities necessary to be obtained, previously to the eretiion of any barrack, are more expressly .and clearly •defined than they were at any antecedent period.. By the FOurth Article of those Regulations, it is direEted, that whenever' there shall be a neces sity for ere ,ding new huildings, or for making al term ions k or repairsit t t hose already where see) alterations or repairs shall exceed .the sum of SCO). the Barrack-.Master-General .is, previously th the execution, to catlse a plan to "be prepared, accompanied by an estimate of the expellee, which plan and estimate are to be prepared upon oath, and submitted to the Comtrisoder in Chief and to the Lords of the Treasury for their approbation ; which plans lnd estimates, when so approved, .are to be the authority for . undertaking such buildings, repairs, or alterations, &c. and under these new. re gulations, barracks have been since built. at Canter bury, Pleyden, Hastings, Pett, &c.

This duty, he says, he executed personally for the greater part of his time, but from ,the great pressure of business and ill health, The was obliged latterly to confide it to others ; and he adds, that the belies in many lease s depended upon the possibility of procuring the land, and that very frequently there .was no alternative as to price .or scite : he also stated to us, that upon all such occasions,- advantage was taken of the exigen cies of Government. On our inquiry, whether he 'could refer us to any . c&respondence in the offite in support of this latter OViiiioll ? he referred ns to the ease of BraybourneLeaze, in the county of K en t ; We accordingly required all the documents in the, office relating 'to this land, and the history of the traiisaaiou appears to be this : On the 20th July, 1803, the late Barrack-Master- General applied to Sir JOHN HOSEYWOOD as Lord of the Minbr in which , Braybourne Leaze (or chomion) was situated,. for, . hermision to occupy it as a .military.station, proposing to - pay a fait rent or compensation for any damage which might ac- On the 4th Augushfollowing an agreement was made between Sir JOHN HONEYWOOD and Lieu- ! , Ctler, crue. tenitut-General DE LANC:‘EY; wheieby, iu cen;ill-e'r- „ - at ion' of 5751. the' estimated value Of the stock of rabbits on BrayboUrnb Wart*ti, and of the yearly rent of '751. Sir JON'S HONEY - WOOD agreed to grant a leae. for 21 years to Lieutenant-General DE LAN- CEY., of so much and of such part of the said warren or coirimon, as might . be wanted for the purpose of ereding barracks thereon. On the Ist of Septem ber, tre lleY. A. — PiiSiikity,:E, the Vicar of 'Bray bourne, represented to the •Barrack-Master-General, that- he and the other commoners on the land (which it set-ins had been then taken possession of) were . levy materially injdred . in - their rights ; asking- for compew,ation, and stating that Sir JOHN HONEY wooI) had no power Of inclosure, or any right to sell or lea!,e part of the Common, and that the com- . - nibuets.protested against any .payments .being made to Juni on that principle. In a subsequent letter, Mr. II:ill - 0 - 05a, after adwitting that Sir J.

'The rabbits on this .Common, for which 5751. were paid to Sir 'JOHN FraNi:ywoon, were not: - taken . and sold" for . the he nefit'of Government, 'the - pressure of the service (it is said) admitting of nd delay, but were destroyed :by thevorkmen etnployed abOut the barracks.' "'' Such is the tranSaelion with 'resped to the land at Braybourne Leaze; and, irk the Course of the exa mination of the many'papers we haVe had before us, .respeCting the purchase of land fbr the barrack ser vice, we' have in several other instances obserVed the prices paid by .GoVernment . to be. so large' as to' affigo 'clear proof (independently of the general statement made by General tD I_,N6:Y to that ef.: feEt) that advant4had been taken of the exigency 'of 'the occasion. , { - Amongst others', v.-e noticed par ticularly; that a small piece 'of land, which was w,,anted for squaring the Barracks at Perth, in •addi tiOn to the laud granted by the. Corporation, was pat .or at `the rate of 500 gu'ufea4 ler Scotch acre. The vicinity to the town of Perth probably :raised the value of this land very Considerably ; and we are aware that a similar cireitustance,' muss in ,very'many - leases have been - the Cause' of the high prices paid by Government for land wanted' for public purposes ; btiriirrhlS - aca - se - ,' the additional piece of land does not seem to ha' e - been ab*;olutely necessary for the occupation of the barracks, and to= have been required more forthe sake'of•Unifor mity of appearance,-than for any purpose. of actual utility. . The unwillingness of Gentlemen to have a bar rack in their neighbourhood, has: been also found. to • be the cause of exorbitant demands;_ and, in' order to remove these impediments in ;the way of Govern ment, it was provided by the Ad of the 43d of the pregent Reign, usually called the. Defence ACI, -that it shall be lawful for His Majesty to authorize any General Officer, &c. to choose the ground ; and if the owner reuse the price offered; to 'summon a Jury to assess the value, and oblige the 'party to accept the 'nice so ascertained ; "provided 'the neces sity of occupying such ground !be certified by the Lord Lieutenant, or two Deputy•Lieutensints of the County, in which the said land is situate ; or, in the I case of a&ual invasion- of .the- Vnited Kingdom.— : Under this Aa, ,the scites or positions of Barracks have of late been determined upon ; but the Report I admits that the Defence At does not prevent the I public.from still paying very largely, the scites se leeted for Barracks having frequently, from their proximity to towns, and other circumstances, been , considered of such great value as to justify. Juries lin awarding very high prices to the owners, as in the cases of the Dunbar, Haddingt o n, and Musl. burgh Barracks, for the scite s of w hich a large coins pensation was Awarded to the Owners, particularly in the case of Dunbar, and - a piece of ground, near Bellhaven, to the Earl :of LAUDERDALE.-.... Previous also to the passing of the Defence Ad, when the titles could only be procured in the usual. manner, by voluntary • contracts with the respective owners, the Report states the public interests w ere not sufficiently proteaed,-as evidence of which, it staes the Barracks of Sunderland, which were built in 1795, under a lease from the .Grassmen of t h e Corporation of that town, to Mr. WrsonA;sl th en Secretary at War, for 21 years, but without any covenant for renewal of the term ; and'the case of the new Barracks at Lewes, built on land the proper ty of the Duke of Dorset, the right to the possession of which by Government would have . expired on the 29th Sept. 1805. But to remedy the inconve nience attending this invalid. mode- of conveyance, an Act was passed on the 25th June, • 18.05, vest ing all such buildings in the Barrack-Master-General for the time being; by the operation of which, as by. the Defence Act,. he is enabled to acquire such fUrther estate as he may think necessary, in any land occupied 'for the barrack service ; the public Will only pay such.price for the extension of their interest in the land, as it is really worth, in the judg ment of a jury, independent. of the buildings, Ste. The Report having detailed all the information" which the Committee could . coiled with respect to the plans and specifications 'of the: buildings, and- the, nature and mode of the agreement or contra& for the same, with the - checks and con trouls, to prevent fraudulent charges, proceeds to the head of ", Hired Buildings." The annual 'sum paid for this sort s of buildings, s it states, on the authority of a return, corrected to July, 1806, at 31,7021. Og. 9d: and in its observations'on this head, - it states, '' that no blame can lie attached to the Bar rack Office, for the very high rents paid in the first instance, for the hired buildi ngs i n t h e I s l e of Wight ; but that,an earlier. reduction of them Might have been effeaed." Among those of . this kind; which it Says appeared . to have brought a great and im proper expence upon 'the ,Public, 'it notices some premises near Chelmsford, belonging to Sir HENRY MILIIMAY, in right of his wife, held at' a rent of 6001. 'a *year, Which it recohnnends to be given up at the expiration of the present lease ; and also the - hired barrack 'in Thomas-street, Winchester, which, with all others of that class, it recommends shOlild be, given up on the first opportunity ; a n d to re d uce , by every_ possible means, the rents of those which it may be neces:sary to retain. Having gone through . the several heads of inquiry, , , the Report - states, that the existence at - all, or so' long, of 'many of the' ablises and irregularities in this department, is owing to the neglect of a proper attention to the late Barrack-Master-Gen era l' s ac counts ; that, it the annual snaking-up and pro, U- Lion of these ',accounts had been peremptorily re.

Another conse quence' of the delay in c:,:amining these acconnts, - haS. been the appointment of another or Seetand . Accountant to the Office; - andthe allowance to him, of - course, of the like salary of 8001. pet-aunt - inn ‘‘Much important matter," it says, « which the Coen - mince should 'probably have proposed as check on the expenditure has: been'anticipated by the 'Regulations Aireff:ted by his Majesty's warrant, soon :tiler the appointment of . the present Barrack=' Master-General. These provide - for the security of the money issued on a:,.?courit of the Barrack-Master ' General, by direiiting it to be: kept ,at the' Bank ; and - against 'an - unnecessary 'issue to him, by re quiring monthly 'estimateg . of - the 'sums 'wanted fur the several services in each ensiling month, to be de livered to the Treasury, together with a statement of the balanee'in hand, and oftheout-standingdehiands on it ; and by requiring the quarterly books of all' sa- :laries, and of the Contingencies of the BarroCk Depart -111ent, also to be sent to the TreaStlrf.betbre pay ment." TheSe, affil the uther nes,'y reiu)atiori4 i.mder , his Majety's Warrant, it says, appear well calculated to prevent such mischief as occurred ..undei the stiperintendatice of the late Barraeli.-Masiik-Ge ' neral ; but it observes; that the preYent Btirrack- Master-Genend has felt a difficulty, float' want of definite instruCtiom, respeaing 'the 'expendiz:lre 'of money for other heads of servic.c thdu buildings repairs under the amount of bool. and suggests th'at he should have a discretionary power to ,the same amount, which be ma y spe c if y un d er every' other head. Censidcting, a...J0, the system adopt ; ed in these re2ulations for checking the expen-' dittire in thin Depart:nem, the Report concludes, with s6nesting, 'as improvements, the appoint ment of three Commissioners in the place of the Barrack-i\lastet-General, the Deputy Barrack-Mas ter-General, and the three pric.:tpal Assistant Bar ' raCk-nisters-General',"to'conkhata 'she business crf that Department ;'•one of them to be notniaated Chairman, with a salary of 1,.:20u1. a year, and the other two 10001. each.

A Chief Clerk - in each of the branches of ac counts, stores, and buildings, at 4001. a year ;' 'Which, with a proportionate number of inferior Clerks, will 'be a less expence, by -.:20001. a year, than dna of the present establishment, ,It then states, thfit the , expellee of a house ibr the Barrack-Master-General ought to be saved,, upoh the ground, that ofticial houses, where constant 'at tendance. is not necessary, are liable to .abuse;' that all allowances be abolished,, a nd . fi xe d . • Salaries substituted, The prudence of this- Sug, gestion• it illustrates by• the case of the-architects; who, exclusive of their official salaries and allow ances; hate received, on the account of .9.4 per centage upon' the antotlut of the huildihgmtpc,- penditure,' nearly • 40;0001.
