FIRST REPORT • OF TETE COMMISSIO.ATER.S of MILITARY INQUIRY. Wchave been 'favoured with a view of this interesting Re - port. It occupieS,. with the Appendix, ttB ft:4os. It be _ gins with the hiitory• of the establishment of the Barra& Department, commer,cing in 1792,,, under the arrangement and superintendence of Colonel,-'now Major-General De Lancey. It 'then proceeds to the mode of receiving and issuinA Money. It next explains the causes of -del a y i n making up the Account of the Snperintendant General of liarrcks g and concludes with proposing measures for a swedy settlement or the Accounts. The pressure of tem , iurary 'matter obliges us to confine our Extrads to the Second Wad, - Which is-as follows : NaMEOF RECEIVING AND ISSUING MONEY. onl the time that Colonel De Lancey was op pointed Superintendant-Generbl . of Barrack's in 'the year 1793, isSues• of money, for Barrack _ services ceased to be trade to - Regimental Agents, and were made to-him as Bupeiintendant ofßarracks. The • •mede- observed .in making these issues was this : • . ' The e Secretary at War dirtied the Paymaster-Ge ,neral to pay to Colonel De Lancey, 'or to the Bar • - rack Agent or Treasurer, on his accounts such sums - as appeared necessary for the current service, which sums, so advanced by the Paymaster 7 Genentl, vi-ere directed by the Secretary at War to be deduCted - - from the warrants that 'would be afterwards i ssue d by the War-Office'for the specificexpenditure, when ascertained.. Afterwards, in 1794, regular estimates of the sums - wanted for services previously author ized, were in 'atfstated periods by the Barrack . MAter-General, to the • Secretary at War, who having included them in his official estimates of the Extraordinari'es of the Army, annually raid -before; • Parliament, directed such 'portion to,bQisSued by . tile Paymaster-General, from time. to time, as Ma jor=General Dc Lancey applied for by official re viisition, the - Secretary, at War's letters for these advances alway's expressing that the sums so ad- - , ranted were to be " dedudedeout. of the warrants • which Shall be granted for this service;" This riause does not, as we understand, discharge the _ 33:1 - rack-Master-General of any responsibility, ,until the warrants alluded to are granted, and the opera tion of these, when granted, depends upon their te-' nor ; but the introduction of this clause is not tin usual,. although the: precedent is not of long-stand ing, and whenever used, may be construed to ply that a warrant is meant to be granted at a future period to cover the whole of the sums issued under the authority of these letters Of the Secretary at War, which, in the present instance, would have been in Conformity to the 23d SeCtion of his Majesty's war , rant for the regulation of Barracks, elated. 24th March, 1705, in which :it.. is, expressly proVided,. that ,‘F The Barrack-Master 7 General Shall, from time to time, receive imprests of money fiir the cur rent services of each year, upon estimates signed by him and delivered into the office' of our Secretary at War ; and at the end_ of each year he shall make . up and, deliVer into the said office, 'a general ateciunt of barra6k "expenditures fur the preceding t we l ve • • months, the half-yearly accounts of the several Barrack-Masters, and the' accounts of other persons to whom monies shall have been paid within the pe-, riod, on behalf of the Barrack Department ; for the propriety, justness, and accuracy of which, as also forfort heir stria - conformity to our regulations, he shall ~ be held responsible e which together with their ac quittances, shall be the vouchers upon which the , said general_ accounts shall. be passed; and warrants Shall be made out accordingly for our Royal sign= manual."_, ' , • The money thus placed ,in the hands of the Bar rack Treastuer has been drawn'out either by the 'drafts - of the Barrack-Master-General, or more ge • nerally-by bills (accepted according -to the- course of the office) drawn by various persons for services . performed. The drafts of the late Barrack-Master , General do not -appear, to have been subject to any controul, and the first 'knowledge which the AC- _ couintant had Of them was from the Treasurer's book. Of- the acceptances, a register-was-kept in the Barrack-Office, by which the Treasurer's book, stint weekly to the Barrack Office, was regularly chequed. On the resignation of Lieut.-General De Lancey, in. November, iBO4, many new regulations were introduced into the -Barrack -Department, by the Lords 'of the Treasury, Of which We shall take no tice hereafter; and, amongst others, the office of • •Treasurer was suppressed, since which change the cash has been kept at the Bank of England. At the period of suppression (in Febru a hy, 1805 ) - the Treasurer had in his : -hands _sixteen -thousand eight hundred and fourteen pounds nineteen shil ' hugs and seven-pence, of which sum twelve thou sand pounds was paid. into the 'Bank by him on the 31st .of December, 1804, in pursuance•of the order of the Secretary at ,War ;, two thousand three hundred and. ninety-tight pounds two shil • lingseand sixpence, part of the balance of four thousand- eight hundred and fourteen pounds, nineteen , shillings and seven-pence; was paid into the Bank on • the - t ith February,, 1800; and the Treasurer - informs us, that he . will pay 'in the - re:main:fig sum- of two thousand fo - ur hundred and -sixteen pounds- -seventeen shillings and one Denny, as soon as the advance of one thousand four hundred and sixty-five pounds' three shillings aad nine pence, made by him for. the Artificers' Conipany at Gibraltar, shall - have been repaid him. During the time Mr. Greenwood aded as Agent or Tnasurer to the Barrack Office, the balances in his hands, on the account of the late Barrack-Master-1. General, -appear to have been very considerable; varying from ten or twentyje fifty and sixty thon d : pounds, and, in ware instances„ in 1803, to • have amounted to• an hundred : thousand pounds. The accounts have fiuddated, however, very rapidly, and occasionally the findse'hai-e been wholly ex hausted,' and the Treasurer in-ad•hnce. It is easy to ascertain the amount of the balances at any stated pe riods, but it would be a, work of considerable labour, to deterniits whether they have exceeded a just and prudent provision f - th . _the. payments .to be made Within any limited period.. We-entered on this in veStigation, and pursued it to ascertain -extent; but .we have not deemed it expedient to carry it through, as, whatever might be the result, it could produce no pra6tical benefit. The Barraek-Masten:General, though he, furnished the information tin which &rids were provided, did not interfere with the issues, Which; were regulated between the Lords of the Treasury .and . the Agent; and moreover it is stated to us by Mr. Greenwood, that no, advarita b ,o - e„ to his knowledge; was . made 'by the 'Barrack-Master-Ge neral, of these balances, while he acted as'Treasurer. It occurs to us, however, that if the sums requi site for the service of the department had been issued monthly, the balances must of 'necessity have been considerable. Estiniating the expenditure previous to 180:3 - at an average of eight hundred thousand pounds per annum, the monthly proportion would be_ upwards of s i x ty-fi ve th ousan d pohn d s; . this sum paid to the Agent at the' commencement, and exhausted at the end of the Month ; would leave au average balance of-thirty-two thousand five hun dred pounds: in -1803, the expenditureexceeded one, hundred • and fifty thousand pounds :per month, which, on the same date,' wouldleave an average balance - of seventy-five thon4and pontids;and in, the early part of each month a much later sum would appear in hand on the face.of the 'account. It does not seem that- the -money - was provided • eXaEtly in thiS mode, the issues appear to have, bean More fre, quent, and. in proportion as` they becatne so, the average balances of course were less. • , . , Whilst examining into -the balan ce s o f money in the handS of the Treasurer, We, for the purpose of ascertaining what balances might be. due' front other persons in the Barrack DepartMent . ealled for the ledgers Ofthe office; hut fromtheie'no intormation on . this head' could, be Obtained. The payMents made appeared to be regularly charged to the ac counts to which they respeaively rtelonged e 'hut, singular as it may seem, these are not added up, nor the amounts brought forward from prior to subse quent ledgers ; neither are there any entries on the credit side of the accounts, with the exception of those accounts which the death OrremOval of a -party has made it requisite to close; the ledgers, therefore, were totally useless for the purpose for which we re quired them ; they are 'mere registers 'of payments, Offering no results, and could not in case the Vouchers should be lost, or by accident destroyed, afford:any light to justify or exonerate The variety of per Sons who have been connected with the Barrack Depart ment; but it must not from hence. be inferred,, that payments have been made without references to the ' service performed; it appears; :on the' contrary, that care has in general been taken in this respect. The accounts of the Barrack Masters bare been pe riodically received,: and after a certain degree of examination, the balances have been paid; bat the ACCMiII lant of Barrack-office thinks,* that allthese accounts subsequent to the 24th Junee 1794, not al ready finally examined, museundergo a final exami natiot# before they can 'form a part of Lieut.-Gen. De Laucey's accounts. Builders have received 'payments in proportion only as their work advanced;:bufthe Accbuntant himself can assign no sufficient reason for the present imperlea State of the ledgers; and the fact is, that we cannot front - hence learn whether any and what balanceS are due to the ;public from: any_ personseonneeted with the Barrack Departnie,nt. We are induced, however, to think, from the infor mation we have acquired from various sources, of 'the course of , business in the Barrack-office, that (exclusive of the Treasurer)" the Barrack-MaSter,` General, and die Agent: employed in' the pikchaSe of stores and supplies, are the only persons to whom money has been advanced, in, such mode as to ren -der it probable that it:may have exceeded the service, performed. Th e is sue s to this Agent, and the stat e of his cash account, have engaged our attention, and". will noticed in a future Report. '• He ceased to be emplwed in September 180-t,.: ancl the - bal - ance is now, in his favour; yet; like (Abel's, he has received no credits in the office ledgers for artieles fui - hished; and stands charged in them 'With nearly a-million, being the amount of the .payments - made - to hint in the course of. ten year's. - There are no accounts in the Barrack ()Mee to justify the payments to the hite Barrack-Master- General, and hi s account "i n the office ledgerS i s therefore an exc ep t io n to a preceding remariz, that payments have not,: in general, been made, without 'reference to services performed: There .are, it' is true, certain entries 'made, to the credit of the late Barrack-Master -General, under 'circumstance's which the 'Accountant has fully explained; but as the do cuments delivered in by the late.Barrack-Master- General, if such they could be called, have - been withdrawn by him, the entries must be considered as of no effect; they afforded us, 'at least, no infor mation. But that we might ascertain the balance. of any which was due from the late Barrack-Master- General to the Public, we - required froth 'him an account of theapproptiat ion of the sum of 135,1281. 4s. 10d. which he admits to have drawn 'on his .oW'm account, fiom the period-of his appointment in 1793, to that of his resignation, in November 1 804. -In answer to the precept Of the Board, Lieut.- General De Lancey furnished us with certain state ments and accou n t s , from ;which there results a ba lance due to the public of six thousand eight hun dred and sixty-five pounds four shillings, being' so much which Lieutenant-General De Lancey has drawn from the Treasurer beyond the amount which he states to' be due to him ; but' on reference to - the items of these accounts, it appears to us tnat alnuely. larger sum is. due to the public'. Lieutenant-General De: Laticey takes credit in every 'year for allowances and emoluments under three heads : • His_pay as Barrack-Master-General-, and. Ge neral Officer on theStait 2. - His travelling ex' pences. .' • ..;3. His contingencies for additional Charge and responsibility upon unsettled accounts, anil.at one per cent. on the expenditure of the Barrack Depart ment in-each - . The two - fir ? A heads have, been made subjeas .of inquiry, and "the observations which may arise on them will .be hereafter noticed ; the third is the . transaction to which we have,before alluded, and it is of so 'important and singular a nature,, that we have been greatly influenced by the .considerations which arise on it to make this partial Report. The Lieutenant-General informs us,, that he takes credit for .this suni on account of contingent charges, such as, upon The making'up and settling his accounts, he , 'shall bring against the 'public .' and in an explanatbry• paper; on this subject, he adds, that,..feeling most acutely the - criticai siti tion in Which lie has been placed, not only' with te speci to the losses to which he must • be subjected, the mode to be applied to the Settlement of his accounts, but likewisofrorn the.delay 'which has - taken 'place, and which' has 'deprived him, of the means .of recovering disallowances from the' subor dinate Accountants ; he, therefore, in order to in demnify himself frdm loises Which may arise upon the settlement of his' accounts, found himself under the necessity of availing himself of the authority .granted to him of maktng _contingent charges, and stating a sum in his contingent account for addi— tional charge and r es p ons ibili ty , t o w hi c h , in justice, he ought not to have been subjeaed.". f Admitting that losses are likely to accrue, and for the cause assigned, it yet does not occur to us Lien tenant-Gene:al De Lancey - - can indemnify him self against' such losses or disallowances by appro: priating to himself so considerable a sum of the ,public money,. since this appropriation - must; in passing his'accourits, be disallowed equally with any other charges for which no voucher nor authority is produced. It is obserVable, that Lieutenant-General De Lancey introduced a similar charge of IL Is. per cent, on barrack expenditure, into his early ac counts, -s,ubmitted to examination at the War Of fice in 1795 ; which charge, from the year 1794, he Justifies - on the ground that the " War Office had charged hint with large sums winch he had never received;:' and .for the period previous to 1794, on the ground that he considered his-increased respon sibility to tak e plac e from the commencement of his account. But the fa& of the introduaion of this charge, at a time WhCil no delay had occurred, its _being .af terwards 'withdrawn from the accounts which were passed at the War Office (withdrawn, as he !states, by hiMself, that " no delay might _take place in the settlement of his accounts : by any .questions ;iris= ing'), and his total silence on this subjea, in any communications 1113 . 0 IV:11411 to the Select Com,. mittee of Finance, in 1797, tend' to invalidate the 'reasons adduced in its justification; and Lieutenant- General De Lancey not shewing any authority for this charge, amounting to eighty-eight thousand nine hundred and IWenty-the ee pounds, ,we' are of - opinion that :this stint should be added •to his . acknowledged, balance - of six thousand eight hundred and sixty-live pound's :four hefigii-mentioned, and "the total am o u n t repa id , without -delay; to' the account -of the present Barrack-Master-General, at the Bank of Eng land. It further a 1 pears to us, that there is an error in ,Lieutenant-General Be Lancey's p ersona l account, the correction of which will add to this ba, lance. -:Lieutenant-General Be. Lancey takes credit' for one thousand five inindred and -severity pounds the amount of a warrant granted hint by the War' Office for his' pay and allowances far -the year 1793 , : these charges are_aiready included in th‘two first items of his account, and amount, to one thousand six hundred and twenty-six pounds sixteen shillings ; Which credit must therefore be cancelled and added to the balance, making. the total Stim due by Lieutenant-General De Laney to thepublic ninety-seven - thousand four hundred and fifteen 'pounds. The appropriation-of so large a sum to an unau thorised use, and especially of so great a Proportion ; of it in-the'last ten months of Lieutenant-General- - De Lancey's holding the Office. of Barrack-Master General, afforded. strong' grounds th a n to presume, th a the statem en t s (riven in by the Barrack •Otli ce , on, which the Lords of the Treasury proceeded in the, issues of money for. : Barrack Services; were not the , correet documents we should have expeaed- them to be ; and our inquiries have justiiied this prestimption. The current services . were. provided fjr oy monthly statements, and the extra or unforeieen services by sub sequen t requi sitions'on estimates ; but • the, existing balances in the hands of the Treasurer were no where no 7 ticed ; nor was any allowance or deduction made for sums received for rent of canteens and pleof dung, and re-payments to a considerable amount. - It is obvious ; flier - et - Ore, hbw funds have • been found to answe r th e 'drafts of - Lieutenant-General De Lancey on his personal account ; and by refer!. ence to Mr, Greenwood's examination, it will be seen in what manner a part of the sums drawn by hiM: in the • years )803 and 1804 has been appro 'priated. - The allusion of Lieutenant-General De Lancey to delay in passing his accounts will•nowte more fully explained. Wherever the blame may attach, the fa& is certain, the evil is great, and it isproportionably important to provide a speedy remedy. • 2 An }Eronaut, of the name ofMOSMENT, perished in cowquence of falling fromhis Balloon on the 7th instant, at Lisle, in Flanders. He had ascended an immense height, and was out of, the view of , the - speNtors an hour and a quarter, when his flag' vas seen .!6‘Vly descending ; and SOC)11 after it was an nounced, that his .body had been found dreadfully mangled in a ditch near the town. It was supposed that the car of the Balloon was too shallow, and that the unfortunate JEronaut had logthis.balance, upon strongencountering a current of air, - and had been thus thrown out of the Balloon.
