~~rr .s.,~y~r:, 'A L P.Y . AT fr4ne . the S 1.! I. E i::1* . :COMMITTEE UPON 'UZ 'TENTH NAVAL REPOItT, ea. The 4c1e.1 Committee to 'whom Abe Tenth Report of tl,e Comin,asioners of Naval Inquiry (respecting lite:Office of the Treasurer tof 'His Majesty's Navy), was referred, to in., quire inzo the application of anyMoniea issued to the Trea: aura of the Navy for Naval Services to purposes not Na” vat ' • and whether any, and what Representati o ns we re Tnade to the Lords Commisaioners of His -11,1ajcsty'sTrea. Bury, or the Chancellor of the F.xclieque(, respeaing the .withdrawing from the Bank any souls of Money so issued, since the passing of the Ad of 25 Geo, 1 II ~ c'.• 31 ;,.and also into the Proceedings had forthe recovery or the Debt due to the Crown by the late Adam ic/lieue—have agreed to the following Report In taking - into our consideration the three sub, jells which are referred to your Committee, it Oc., cutred to us, that though the first, in rums, .coin. • prehends,an Inquiry generally and• without restric. • riots, into the application of any monies issued to the 'Treasurer of the Navy"for Naval Services to pur poses not Naval, yet it must necessarily have been the intention of' the House tit exclude from our con. bihraiion all such ninnies so issued so applied as Mere to be the subject of measures which the At. torney : General was direCted, by an Outer of the House; to•tae Si by due course of Caw, for eicer " taining and recovering any sums 'of - - money that " may be due from Lord Melville and Alexander " Trotter, Erq. in respell of any profits derived by " them from monies issued for IN.T.tval Services, and " that may have coats to their hands subsequent to " the t`st of January, 1706:" We therefore conceived it nor to be our duty to in. quire whether any sums issued fOr Naval purposes had been applied by Lord Melville or Mr. Trotter to their own use, for which they would be respon. bible in the-civil suit to be instituted against 'them. In prosecuting our inquiry with this reset ye, it couldnot be previously known tows how any parti. cular sum of money so issued • had been applied, till such suns bud been traced to the actual application of We were therefore necessarily, in some iostanees; led into an examination, which, without adverting to this difficulty, might appear to exceed the bounds of the It.quiry which we understood ;o have been prescribed' to us, leaving it to the party exattOed to ohjed, to the questions, that were proposed to him, the around of their tending personally to'charge him, who lee ihotight At to do so. Of the sums issued far Naval Services, and after. wards applied to purposes not Naval, which the cause, of this Inquiry brought into our view, it appears that the sum of 40,0001. came into the hands of Lord Melville, and was advanced by the j•;int con. currenee of his Lordship and Mr. Pitt, ;hen Chan. cellar of the Exchequer, for the use of the house 01 Messrs. Boyd and Cu. Another sum of to,oool. 'an issued, appears to. have come to the haosis.of Lord Melville, pre iota to the Paymastership of Mr. Trotter 3 but how it was applied the evidence to which Me have had the opportunity of 'restating does not enable us to de termine.. Various sums appear also to have been advanced by Mr. Trotter, dUring a period of between 1 . 4 and ,15' years, whilit he was Paymaster of the Navy, under Lord Melville, to theorderof . . . amounting in ail to 22 or. 23,d00L .which we shall :dis&iguish by, the 'name of the A4gregate'Stun of 22 or 23,0001. ; about one half of which, Mr. Trot. ter states to have been advanced exclusively from Public Money ; the rest from a fund, .which is called in Mr. Trolter's evidence, his Mixed Fund tit IN/less:s. Coons, consisting p.trtly of piiblie and Tartly of,privare money ; fur which Aggregate Suat (St ei or' 23.0')0L tip :Werest paitt Iri order to avoid COtittisiott, it, may be proper here to state, that Mr. Trotter was desired by Lord Metvdie. to burrow for him, and,did advance to him for , his private use ; a filtther sum of between ,2 2, and which he was himself the lender, and 1,4 which he charged ' lint with illik'reSt at Si. per ; bur from what hand the sarne . wos drawn by Mr. Trotter we did not think it puller to inquire. He W 33 also cxcasionally in eidvs'oce in his account. current to Loi,rd Melville, in ‘surns.to the amount of front IC to 20,6001: re mentioned in .the. Tenth Re.. port, which ekstfltt entirely from the mixed fund at Coutti and Cornpany (the bala4e upOn that accounr being also occasitinaily itt favour . of l a 3rd Melville to the amount -of z s000l.) , ; and fOr the last mentioned sum of 22 or 23,0001. so lent on inierest, its well as for such balance when it was in favour off Mr. Trotter, he:states, that be considered Lord Melville 'as . his private debtor ; but on such balanees in the accOunt„curient no interest on either yitht was paid. Of the specific sum, therefore, of at or -2,3m001.• 53 lent on toterest, and those Occasional advances in the ac.`7`nsitt &mein from the mixed fund at Messis. _Cowls and Co. mentioned in the Appendix to the .Isentli Report, we shall abstain altogether from tak. ilia. further notice; confining our remarks to the several SLIMS of 49,0001, l`o„000l. and the aggregate bum of 22 OT 23,0001.'urn none of which any irate._ rest was pato,„ to the4o,oool. the di ccrsinn of it from Naval Services to which it was appropriated, contrary to `the provisions and 'meaning of the 25th of Gel). 111. c. 3t. attritavtl our ealliest attention, and called 1:4 a full and minute inquiry into the 'capita and c ireumoances ot that transanion. For this purpose several witnesses have been called before u, ; from whose ..evidenqe it appears, rhat In December 1795 a o.)lttran was to do by Goverment with toe rio,uses of Messrs. Ltoyd and Robarts and Co. and Goldsmiti and Co, for a loan of t B,ooo t oool. ef which, ,in the beginning of the month of Stlitelrther, 1796, three instalments 'of 15 pet cent. each were still due ; allti,that about the month of April, 1196, a loan :,of seven millions And a half was negotiated tqy the Chancellor oldie Exclieqn:J, in order to hind a sum to that amount . of ExtlieqUer litlls and Navy Bilis held by the ; principally for the purpose of relievi,:ig the Coospany fr , m their advances to Government, ;w hich ;ben 'pressed heavily upon them. That loan was contracted for conjointly by the sane yarties vn , A e re c o ncerned in the preceding loan; all anises at that time of unsuleefrted crali ; e,:Ch House be. log gelefally considered, subsequent to the payment of tire deposit for which they were all jointly liable, responitible wily fof the aulount of the "hares r , then held by them atespeaively. 07 thelatier lean in the beginning of September, 1796, two instal... merits oft ; per cent.. ware due. In the beginning of theayear /796, from the em. barrassment a of oublic credit, and, the decreasing ante of the specie at the Bank, the Governor and Direaors thought it prudent to, restrain their en. gagements ; and upon that account had refused ad.: vancing the pragressive payments upon the Loan Of .December, 179; ; hut in consideration of the pur. poses for which the Loan of April, 1796, had been made, as well as- being comparatively small, they contented to advance to the Contraasirs, and did advance, the 3 , 1, 4th, sth, and 6th payments ; re.' quiring them to make the 7th, being the last pay ment, which was 'to become due on the 26th of Olohet in that year. It is statedin 'the evidence given to your:Com. mime, - that the autumn 1796 was a period of pe. culler embarrassment, both of public and private credit; which led to the restriaiont of payments in specie at the Bank, that took place in .February, 1797 ;- that there was a very great run on private commercial houses, a great scarcity 'of money, and a very heavy pleasure on the. Bank for diseOunts, which they had been obliged materially to narrow, and had thought it necessary to contra& their ac. commodationa bath to Government and the Coin. (needed World; not, however, making any aistioo. 'tion between the house of Boyd and Co. and houses of the first mercantile credit in the City of London. Under these circumstances, at some time before - the 9th of September, 179'0, Mr. Boyd appears to have represented to Lord Melville and Mr. Pitt the great peeuniary difficulty and embarrassment pf his house ; that the Bank had refused to enact:aim their Bills, and that, with ample securities in their hands,'they were not enabled to raise money to pay the next instalmeM on the loan, which was nearly due, and' reqaested immediate pecuniary as. aistanee for the purpose of completing their engage. Mews to .Goeurntnent. It appears ter your "CoMmittee,, that in addition to these engagements to Government, Messrs. 13oyd and Company had 'large payments to make on ae. count of the Emperor of Germany ; that they paid, un the 31st of Oaober,, f 796, a sutra of, 1i36,34.01. 131. id. on account of the DireAor of th e E ll . Pero is Finances at Vienna ;. and that, in the. Whole of the same year, they [emitted, on the same .ae.- count, aunts amounting' . to 4,409,5c:61. 9s. It ap. pears also in evidence, that it would have been dif. ficult, and perhaps impossible, fur Messra. Boyd and Company to have procured advances upon the securities in their possa.sion(which we shall hereafter toention),or to have converted them intateash ; that a. paynient of le per cent. on the Loan of sli a csoo,oool, was dueon the gth Sept.; and that, had they brought to market such a propos lien of their Scrip as was necessary to raise the said sem of 40,0001. in carder to make good their engagement, the probable con. sequencer' would have been, to increase t'he discount on Sctip,' whicli a at that time amounted on the Loan of April, froM 13 to z; per cent.''to affea injurip ously the credit tit Boyd's house, especially if it had transpired that their necessities convened them to make such disadvantageous sales, and must thereby have had a general tendency to augment the etnhar. rassinent of public credit. , . it has also been stated in evidence to your Corn.- mit tee, that if a failure in the Loans then in progreet of payment had been occesioned a either in the whole or in part, by the circumstances :Above stated a the deficiency could not have been supplied by a fresh Lean (had it been necessary to resort w such a measure), except upon terms of very. considerable losa and disadvantage - to' the. Public. Ureter these difficulties, Lord Viscount Melville, then Treasurir of .the Navy, appears to have sug, geared to Mr . .. Pitt, that the sum wanted by Messrs. Boyd and Co. might be spared, without a probability that the Naval .'Service would suffer any ineonve. a ie n es from .the atiyance, provided there ovas a auk: • Adept security for the repayment; anti 'no other method having occurred, by which much serious mischief to the Public could he prevented, it was thought advisable, by the concurrent opinions of Lord Melville and Mr. Pitt, that the application of Messrs. Boyd and Co. should be complied with, and that the sum of 4°,0001. should be advanced, upon A,!itifficfertt sectitity being given. And it appears in evidence, that, under the orders of Laad Melville, the birth of sao,oool. was drawn from 'the Bank, and - on the same day paid ,over to Mr, BaYdalay Mr. Long s then Secretary, of the Treasury, upon Mr. Bayd's depositing with Mr. Long secortties.amount .ing to about 40,7001. consisting, in part, of Bills drawn on and accepted by the East India Company from their Presidencies abroad, the rest in Govern. anent Securities, which Mr. Long transmitted to Lord Melville, indoraing..upon the cover the purpose for which the securities had been so deposited; that the said sum of 40,0001. had been all repaid ;• and that, with the exception of two Bills on Ilse East India Company, one for 40001. payable in aStober 1797, the other for 70001. 'dr .thereabouts, payable in Jan. 1798, Ili the SCSI of the securities were pay: able within 3 months from the time of the deposit'. a We do not find that any regular entry or memo. random, either of a public or -secret nature, was made of this traneaakin at the time ; the issue of 40,0001. appearing on the books of abe Batik not discharged 'by any correspondent payMent .on the books of the Piy.Offiee, thil advance must at all times have been evident upon an inspedtion of the balances as a debt against the Treasurer of the Navy ; but no entry seems to have been Preserverl, Which would ire itself have explained the applies. • tion of this advance (independent' of the evidence of the parties), more particularly after the securities were discharged; and the funds replaced. • 'ln the course of our examinatian into this sub. jea, we thought it proper to inquire, whither, in fait, any inconvenience had been sustained by the Na. vat service, in Consequence of the diversion of this portion of. Naval Mnney,4o,l were more particular. ly led 16 this ioquiry, by the information, that an accepted bill fur i,oool. drawn upon the Victualling Office, from Martinique, had been presented for pay. meat, and that on she 1 Sth of February, 1797, the daY it became due, the holier-of it was said at the Viaualang Office, "there was no effeas, Sir sutne. thingato that purpose ; that there were many other hills in the same situation, and he must call again; and that the bill' was not paid till theist of March, though he Mad : sent it two or three times for pay. mem in that interval. Upon further inquiry at the Vi6lualling Office, it appears, that on the 9th of February, 1797,. the Vinoalling Office applied for a suss of 7cr,0001 , at the ExcheqUer i lcit the payment of several bills, in which the bill in question was inclUded ; that on the asth of the same month, 47,0001; was.roctived in part of the 70,6001. for that " p urpose ; -,. and that on the same day the said bill, with many others , was assigned for payment, and would have been discharged On that day, or as soon after as payment had been called far. In this instance, the delay of the 'assignment. and consequently of payment, ap pears to have arisen from a delay in the issues from the Exchequer, and not from a refusal- of payment on the part of the ',Treasurer of the Navy ; nor has it appeared in evidence, that any delay of pay. went has been aCtually occasioned in otber branches of the Naval service by the advance in clues tioO, however such a piattiee Might in possible cases have 'been produCtive of a different result. No interest was demanded from Messrs. Boyd and Co. for the money so advanced, and 'so repaid ; brit it is to be observed, that no interest would have ac. cruad to the public had the above sum remained in the Bank in conformity to the Provision of the Att. As to the sum of 10,0001. it appears in evidence, that upon Mr. Trotter's appointment to the Office of Paymaster in the year 1786, he was informed by 'Lord Melale, that he, ,Lord Melville, was indebr. ed to the Office in the sum of 10,0001. At what time, under what circumstances, and for. whit pur.. pose, this sum of 10,0001. originally came into the possession of. Lord Melville, the deaqi of the pre. ceding Paymaster, the absence of all public doco. ments relating to it, and the want of any tither cei.. deuce, prevents sis frOm ascertaining ; and we can therefore only state ; that this sum was replaced, but Without interest, some time sohsequent so the year 1786 ; but the particular time and InAnnet of the re-payment we have. nor been able to discover. It appears also in evidenc'e, that upon Mr. Trotter - succeeding to the Office of Paymaster, he. was ap. pointed - Private Agent to Lord Melville ; and: was, during his ciantinuance. in,that office, in the habit of receiving his salary as Treasurer„and other branches of his income arising in England, as well es frequent remittances froin Scotland ; and that the sums re. ceived by him on Lord Melville's account were paid into the Mixed Fr,nd at Messrs. Courts that dUring the fourteen or fifteen years of his being Pay. master he at, various times advanced various stunt of money on account of Lord Melville to Mr. Twee. dy, and to other persoos, amounting 'to aoother sum of - about 22 or 23,0001, being the said aggregate sum .before-mentioi,cai ; that the sums paid to Mr. Tweedy amounted once or twice to 1 or 4,0004.: that of the said aggregate sum of 22 or 23,0001. about one half was advanced excluSively from the Public Money;. the rest from ,the Mixed Fund at Messrs. Coutts„ wher , -, all his private money visas kept; arid the whole had been repaid, but without any interest, _ At what specific periods these several sums were paid by Mr. TrOtter, or repaid by Lord we are unable to find out.; all the vouchers, memo. Tantiums, and Writings, relating to the transactions aod•accounts , bet ween them, hiving been destroyed about. the . tithe when releas es, .containing a covenant Tor that purpose, were mutually `e,xecuted upon the set. tiement 1.1 . their Accounts, by Lordlikelville, on the 18th of Vehruiry 1798, at Mtiville Castle, and by Mr. Trotter, on the. 23d of Feb. 1798, in Lon. don. .Mr. Trotter states, that he also destroyed all the books:in which the accounts between L.)rd Mel. !Me and himself were kept, and which contained the accounts of other persons besides those between Lord Melville and Mr., Trotter . ; but. wl:tch Ilitd all been closed, except some small accounts between Mr. TrOtter and his friends, which lie carried forward into new brtnks. From the destruelion of such banks and papers, floM the death of Mr. Tweedy, andlom want of an opportunity of 'examining imril Melville, no Means were afforded to us of tracing the' precise applied. tion of the variotta sums ,110. .4cl vanced from time to time to Lord Melville's order, and which formed the said aggregate sum of Z 3,1, nr 13 , 000 !. ; or which of these sums specifically were taken from the Public Money, and which of them from the Mixed Fund' ; or in what proportion the rums that might be taken from the Mixed Fund consisted of Public and what 01 Private Money, It appears, however, that Mr, Pitt, in,a co*ver. tuition with Lord Melville, since the publication of the Tenth Report, unticrstood, . that, besides the sum of 4,0,0001, another sum of about Twenty Thou. sand Pounds issue& for Navy Services, had Weal applied to purposes not" NaVal, during - the last Treasurership of Lord Melville ; but_ whether the above sum of 20 / 0001. wasi.tir was not included in .any of tha, sums hereinbefore mentioned we are un, able to ascertain, In a letter written by Lord Melville to the Commissioners of Naval IngoirY. dated June - 30, LSO+, i cnntained in the Tenth Report, he states, that he had not declined to give occasional accom modation from the funds 17,) the hatids of the, Trea. ,tourer of the Navy t()otherSeriices; and in another letter to the said Commissioners, dated 2Bth March, ros, hi deClaree, he never knot ibgly de. rived any advatita&e from any advances of .Public Money. Upon the second head of Inquiry referred to us by your Order, viz.----Whether any, and what re presentations were made to the Lords C stoners of His Majesty's Treastny, or the Chan. editor of the Exchequer, respecting the w ithdraw.. ing from the; Bank any sums of Mcntey so issutd, since the passing of the Aft of the xith Geo. 111. c. 31.; your Committee do riot find that any such representations have ever been made to the Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's Treasury, nor any such representations to the Chancellor of •the Ex chequer; except what is stated .in the :.vidence annexed of Mr. Raikes, and is admitted in the evidence of Mr. Pitt: from whence it appears, that some time in the year 1797; Mr. itaikes, at thin time Governor of the Bm , lc, had occasion to hold an official intercourse with Mr. Pitt by the authority of the Bank ; and that when the official business was over, in consequence (If information which he had received from Mt. Giles and. Mr. Newland, he told Mr, Pitt, in conversation ) of _ . his having heird at the Lok - that rnotning,lhO Courts Treasurer of the Navy now kept cosh at 14"‘"' .' ows and Co.'s, and that Navy Billovete pia by drafts on Meisrs: Couttl and Co, initea 4 of drafts upon the Bank ; and Mr, Pitt t hanked hile for the information ; that the above w althe (fit' porttle m l ern.fgptilhiiretefac,detmalimirntesuttnihilacece:ile:nnicif 4 ; 1 ° 11 lie:Vro; r a : P a l a ft 11:ittiCeVileacOgotgrat! t his being sure as to the , terms of it. . a m hco u cu n us i re c a a ic ti y , o , ni), Vat i s t .t h , Iseosmiet.sliinff.:: u r : s e t : n e only' t o s h t s o v the terra' of it ; which he does not undertake ta recolleCt with 1 ed to hint an impreiiion, that supis 'were !It° from the Bank and carried 13 a private 04' to a larger amount than was supposed ago, nary ; that he to ok an catty epportenity of 014 to .
