The Commissioners, under the Nervy Abase Bill, were appointed expressly for the purpose of remedy ing abuses, which it was contended the Admiralty and Navy Boards' had not sufficient - authority to cure. That Board, however, has so -far departed from the ostensible purport of its Establishment, that it has been occupied, almost entirely, since its formatidn, with an inquiry into an !abuse, which the Nov" Board had already remedied, viz. the bringing the Premium, received on Government Bills, at Jamaica, to the Public Account. The Board have, it is true, ascertained the Balance due by two Naval Oilicers,'on their account, but one of these, it appears, isa Bankrupt, in the Fleet Prison; from 'whom nothing can be recovered ;—and the other contends that he took the Premium us a, mat. lee of r!teseriptive Right.
