Report from the Victual-, ling Office relating. to Sir Home Popham, to the COMmissioners of Naval Inquiry, informing those Commissioners, that having If themselves' neither sufficient power nor time to investigate, an expendi . ture of public moneyof so much importance, ,which, by the said Reports, appeared to have been - of the most enormous and profligate nature, they had • deemed it expedient to lay the whole before the _Commissioners of Naval Inquiry, in order that they,. might take such notice thereof as they might think proper." The Admiralty Board transmitted shortly after wards .to the Naval Commissioners the original do cuments on whith the Report of2oth February was founded, having procured them &am . the. Navy Board, with the Letter from that: Board of the sth July aboVe-mentioned, and the several Papers there in referred to. On the . same day on which the Board of Adnii . • salty sent the Report of the 20tb February to the. Commissioners of Naval Inquiry, their Lordships dire&ed Sir'Home Popham to be informed, that the Reports which had been made to them from the. Commissioners of the Navy and Vianalling Boards, on the subje& of the expenditure, purchase, - and Supplies of stores and provisions for .the'Ships tate, under his orders in the East Indies, and the account itifales of such articles as were sent on shore., to Mi. Louis, being of the most extraordinary 'cOm plexion, their Lordships had deemed it expeditnt to lay the whole before the Cenitalssioners ot Inquiry into Abuses and that on the receipt of the Report from the Navy Board, their. Lordships had been pleased to dirett that all the Bills .which had. been drawn on account of the said Ships should be eliarg .ed as an imprest againSt him, 'and that his pay and iialtlipay; as well as that of Capt. Sause and Lieut. 4 D a vis, should be stopped until . tui•t her orders. , On, the receipt of this conummicatien, Sir Home Popham wrote a 'letter to the Admiralty Board, dated Galt March,' 1804, hi which, 'after expressing his surprise that their. Lordships should have refer ed an ex' parte statement to the Commissioriers, of Naval Inquiry, and reminding the Board of the inefj feCtnal application which he had - rtiiide to be itllewed to attend :the' Navy 'BOard :for the purpose of expla , - natien, ..lie requested _that a,copy, of such Report or.
