COMMISSIONLRS OF LC fCH PRIZES.
Mr. Oen io-e, to call the attentiow of the noose
to the Fourth Report of the Committee on Politic
Expenditure. Ile regretted that it had been flinch
the practice of the House to putter Itrpoits to lie
.or their Table, without uttractiti7z, .itlfivient notice,
perticultirly as they had had for years past, and
were likely to have for years to eoisie, the disoi;ree•
able tank- of imposing heavy burtheus upon the
pit Mir. Not anticipating that any objection would Ire
made to what he had to propose, he worth briedy
state the outlines of the subject. t:;KIII which he bad
'rounded liis propositions, and then subtort them to
the Houle. In 1795, tire Commissioners were mt.
pointed for the disposal of I /melt l'rizes,—.Enters
Cratifunl, John ilrickwood, Allen Chattielrl, John
Bowles. and Alexander Baxter : of three terrors he
know nothing. They received their papers of iO-
- the Privy C •ii, to is hom they
Were to refer. In July. 1799, their lahoure were
completed hut naing to it law snit, they have not
yet been able to make up their accounts, elthougli
they hope to tla /40 before die eximratton of the pre-
sent
,)rair ; thus they had been acting fourteen
year., without coining to a proper or.tlerstanding ;
they had appropriated five per cent. to themselves
for uommisiiion, amosintirg to 80,0(x01. and the
only account tires' had preeetiterl, appeared a frau-
dulent 011 P.—( /fear ! hear !)—lt was carne-di-
nary that Mr. Bowles, who hill been so raters
against the returns upon the Property Tas, should
be so backward in making his tautens, and it might
perhaps he well to are what his returns to the
petty Tax wore iit that hire-. The non. Geld. next
adverted tothe.Cortimis,ineersluseping their:tweeds
of the sales in th hoods of their private lo r., -
stractof paying them into the Brink of England, w loch
they said it was fleet-weary to do to answer demand*. -
which, as the Committee observed, might hare
been very easily obviated he upplyrug to the Privy
Council. These balancra fluctuated ft•orn 50.0001.
to 200,0001, moil when Mr. Pitt applied to them. ,
they had 190.0301. They too:s care not to let hint
know it, although they might have t a.ily spored
51).0001. ; had proper attention been paid to oweiog
their balance. into the Conk, u 'ovine. of 40.6001*
might have hewn remit They *ere Meteor t. to
keep minute+ of the cish iu hand, Lit this they
dii.l not do fur obvious reasons; and niJoil 66:04-
