imagine. For how does the c.tfe of my f d1-; r I
apply to that of lord M Ivilic ? The cafe «-♦ j jrd I
Melville is as clear as light. “ There was no '
luv to fo-hld the pay matter of the army to ap-'
ply the balance remaining in his hands to anv
pOrpofe of private emolument,” in the wav
deferihed at thetime lord Holland held fha: of
fice. Taking the fatfl as it Hand;, i| a. .|lc
him. gentleman alleges, it was criminal in a p.-b
lie officer to make ufe of public money fur hi*
own private profit, when there was no a« of
parliament agaiuft it, nfortiori, it was (till n me J
cnm«na! after the a<fl Had paffi.d fn cr- out of

that of the other was in »he very teeth i-f i law
nropofrd l-y himfclf. Wh ;t then doc s the lion,
g ntlemnn gain by the tef.rcne ? That the
pncHce which obtained in the office of the |,av

now going to argue. But f do rernemi-ir, and
*t mufl be in the recolleiflion i;f-he honfi- that

very diflV rent ooiuio s prevailed among the mofl !
eminent lav.-yers in t'ie country upon tins q.u-f
tion, whither the paymafters were accountable
to the pti’iite for the liiterill arifiug out of the
balances remaining in their hands. ( know tha’
ti'i negative of this pmpofition was maintained
Ity nr my perfons of high eunfi'?. nation, but nioft
certainly the weight of eminence a„d horify I
was on the other fide. For it was ueld that the
balances were not the property o* t' e pnl.'i j
bat that of the public creditors. Thiao lefboii

lithe Marquis of IWkbgha ti, becaufe that'
mmiftry might bt fuppoftd to have font re-.id
tor rue ; but it was v.-ry fully canvaffvd duiing
the ad'ijiniftration of lord North, when indeed
no fuch fippofitidtf of favor could exift. And
v. h.-it was then fult ? why that a committee ap
pointed toconf.dtr the cafe, rrjmrted th ♦ tf.<

I and that it had univcrfally prevailed with thof ’
j wHo held that office, with the exception of thr
.a’l.er of the gentleman over agaiuft m. (lord
Chatham) and perhaps another. If ,t wm

j But t!ie feeling was different. Nay, the ho.rte
fo f It it, and evinced its fentiment afterwards
by granting an increafc of the fal iry attached to
