port : tt That there be laid before the House an
account of the Net Proceeds paid into the Registry
of the Court of Admiralty, or Receiver-Ginend of
Droits ; together with all the property paid to His
hiksieste, as belonging to the Crown, since the
Ist Jan. 1793, and the balance now remaining."
Sir FRANCIS BUNDErr said, it would not answer
his purpose, merely to ascertain how the proceeds
of those captures stood to this day. Their amount
was of such magnitude, tha: ke was thoroughly
convinced sod satisfied the House would not en-
dure the ides, of admitting them to be at the uncon-
trouled disposal of the Cru,to. He felt thankful
to the Right Honourable Gcneemen opposite, for
his se;,;,;e,tion as to the propriety of amending
this motion, but could see no reason to adopt his
advice: he would therefore leave it as it was.
Sir CHARLRI Pont, confused the Honourable
Baronet had his me-t sincere and warm thanks, for
bringing forward this motion in the manner and
shape he had dole. He would never lose sight of
the object of this motion ; every day convinced
him of the neceseity of having a watchful eye over
the conduct of the Admiralty Court. This motion
had therefore his most warm and hearty concur-
rence.

Sir Joute Nicaoxx did not exactly see the ne-
cessity for mixing the conduct of the Admiralty
Court with the present question. It was necessary
in his mind for the House to look at the nature of
the inquiry they were going into. Those captures
werr, by the constitution of this country, the just
and legal property of the Crown, at its sole and
ancontrouleAl disposal. With respect to property
aptured previous to • knowledge of a declaration
of war by the owners, it was uniformly restored.
He recollected that there was, previous to the
breakintout of the war with Holland, considerable
property belongirg to the Dutch, in this country,
which was condemned as prise to the Crown : but
such part of it as was condemned before the actual
declaration of war, was restored. What was the
use made by H a Mararrx of those droits arising
from captures ? Two-thirds of their value were ge-
nerally given to the ca taus as reward for their
exertions and services. This mode of disposing of
them, he trussed, nobody in this House would dis-
approve. Other parts of this property was granted
to the public service. There was a ;rant of a mil-
lion sonae years pest made to the country. A grant
of a million was also given for the relief of British
subjects, whose property, daring the last war, was
sequestered in Spain. These were the different
modes in which the greater part of those droll, of
the Crown, arising from captures, were disposed
of; WI he try/AM and was ipstisied the House
would feel the reasonableness of such disposal.
There were other grams-made by His Majesty to
the yosinger branches of the Royal Family, which
some Honourable Gentlemen did not at all Stella to
be satisfied with. For his own part, he considered
such grants perfectly reasonable. U His Mk-
