Gentleman (Mr.•RonsoN) the other night. One of those Ma tions had then been acceded to, but in the total want of explanation as to the Hon. Gentleman's motives', the previous question had been' moved, and agreed to upon the remainder, with a pledge, that the in formation - required should be . produced' as soon as .it should appear that any beneficial etfeec could re sult from the produaion. Since that time he had endeavoured to discover the objeaLwhich the Hon. Gentleman had, in view, and he believed he had di.scovered it.—He believed the object was to shun C.c ab.uses that had taken place, in the hiring of ,i3arns iti the Isle of Wight, .0 here] some of these buildings had been taken up' at a very extravagant rate indeed. On this •Cotisideration, he felt it his ditty 'to bring forward all‘the Motions and to add 'another for a documentlending to explain the matter Morefulfy, This was the Report of the Conduet of the Barrack Master who had transmitted the offer to .build a Barrack at Sandown. The Barrack Mas ter had made a false . repOrt of the Builder, which was the 'cause why the proposal had 'not been, accepted. He moved that - there belaid before th e House a Copy ofa Letter, dated 29th of Sept. 1805, Written from the late 'Barrack Master of Sandown, in the Isle of Wight, to the late , Secretary at War, inclosing'proposals of Mr. James Day, of Brayding, for building a Barracks at _Brayding: Mr. ROBSONseconded the Motion.—The Noble Lord's Motions Were transcripts of his. He felt all the pride of conscious integrity in Seeing them brought for Ward by the Noble Lord. He thought the Noble Lord ought to make an apology for hi 4 condu& in ; refusing at first information so proper to be granted, and coming forward with it now, When' his refusal lyid excited a general outcry. . Lord H. PETTY thOught no apology was due from the House,- for the: retinal= of Papers for the produetion'of which the Hon. Gentleman had not given any intelligibte.oronitil. Wiietlier the Honour- able Gentleinan owed any apology - to' the House for leaving his Motions so unintelligible was not for him - to say. After a few words in explanation from Mr. ROB-. SON, the Letter was- ordered, and also a Copy of the Proposals .contained therein ; . with a. Copy of the Answer, if any an Account of •the Barns rented by Government in the Isle of Wight as Barracks ; and a Copy of the Report of Major Dayis on .the proposal of Mr. James Day, to build a Barracks at Brayding.. PUBLIC ACCOUNTS. Lord H. PETTY,.;--Though the immediate oh jest of the Motion he had to submit Was the repeal' of the. Commi s sion of Inquiry into the Public Ex penditure in the West Indies, he believed it would' be agreeable to state generally the measures which . the state of the Public Accounts at large rendered it 'adviseablefor his Majesty's Ministers to have recourse - to. 'He would make no apology for calling.the atten-'. tion of the House thus largely to one Of its Most iin portant _duties. Every thing that cold facilitate a:" stria and accurate Account of the Expenditure of the Public Money would, from its own natde, suffi-, • ciently recommend itself to the.,,whole attention of, '• the House. The iniportant Oust .of auditing the Public Accounts was very : early committed to two? 111011 Officers. who from leaving . the duties to the subordinate persons of the Establishment, without. having .sufficient coutroul over thorn, failed t,o Make: the check as useful as from its constitution it , onglit ,to• have been. The Noble, Persons \vho were at the head : of the Department always remembeyed tb tal:e their. salaries; but unfortUnately they forgot the . duties, and , left them to the chanceOf being done by others.- - Hence the negle4t and abuses grew in time to such a t h e e 6 ig d l e t r t e t d h . a u t ie altiepypi a forced themselves ti o t t e . r7 a se r li: i e 3 s ea l y nt i o nd n isp oti z , s a iib ni. e c . This good office was rendered by the American V,`-er ; ,for the Public Accounts became then so complicated and confused, that it was evidently impossible to keep them in order without some pew regulations. The .attention of the three short Administrations that immediately followed that War was turned to that obje&, and the Right . Hon. Gentleman who was now no more (Mr. Pitt), on his first coming into office, bent his-mind to the correction of the 'evils,' that had grown up in it. TheAuditOrs of Imprest had no poWer to call the Public Accountants before them, and these Accountants were at liberty to chase the Auditors by whom they would have' their ac-. counts . examined. The fees of the Officer depended on the number. of accounts passed ; and those who passed ihem with the 'greatest,facility,ehat is with the greatest neglizeoce and carelessness, were most sought, and had the highest profit. Hence -the Right Hon. Gentleman to _whom he alluded found it necessary to make a'very great change; and, accordingly, in 1785, he . brought in a Bill to sup-, press the Offices of Auditors-of Imprest, held by -. Lord Bute and Lord Sandwich, - and to appoint five CommisSienees, with power to call , all Public Ac- ; countants, befOre them,. and examine them, so. that a perfed kno\vledge Of the . ' matter of the account - :may be attained beft - .).re: it, was decided upon. But the two ..Comptrollers of the Arm;' were , e:r officio t wo.of these .Com Missioners, :These .•Comptrollers had been originally .appointed for very useful pur- , Poses. .We .ove,tl their appointment to-.the good sense of Lord GodOlpiiiii,; when -he presided over the 'Government,'.in frie•tiMe of Queen Anne. The, instrtiaiousgive:tf to 't hem - 'Were .3u-useful, that he would•make no apol4y for stating the nature of them. shortly. Tkir firs t•'d'ilty was to keep. an count of all Monies issued ,from the„ Exchequer to the PaYmaster Of the Ariny, and:to require fro'm that 04icer act:nth - it of.'the application of those monies; they. Were to insped contrasts, musters, .and regimental. -accounts; and to report to the Treasury, and to 06 :Commander in Chief, all negleds and abuseS thq'tnay discover in any part of thisTeview ; and they herd the sum-general .powers with respectto the."l\etny,• - Virhich any other Comp troller had with respes to any other branch of the public service... Even at' the time when that corn. mission of credit issued, its objeds were of the high est importance. It Was, therefere, rather a hasty measure to include in this Board of final Revision, two Comptrollets whose Own - duties made a Material 'part of the subjed 'of that revision, and who ought. to be considered as sufficiently occupied by those duties if .they were attentive to them. But the Comptrollers-of the Army - had long ceased to aft up to their instructions ; principally, perhaps, frt . = the dislike all great Public Officers - had to aCt \viten they were not sufficiently attended to. They had ceased altogether to report abuses in the manner in which they were tlireated. It would appear that very Lirge issues of the Public Money, whith ought to' have '
