their Lordships, that a' patent was granted by
the Lord Lieuteunt.t of Ireland in the year 1780 to
Abraham Brothel and. to Abraham Bradley King,
or the survivor of ahem, to furnish the Government
&vs with stationery. This monopoly consisted
of sttviug every part of the Government offices with

difficulty arose as to the manner the Patentee sup*.

Lord SSMIOUTH said, thit the resolution com-

intriur articles, anti higher 'prices is all cases than

which hail fallen out in the execution Of the lIMPiIO6
poly to a clerk kept by Alderman King, of the
noose of Fox, who had t tea recommend, d la a
V..ry particular moaner, slid after a long period of
faithful service, to the parties' employed to furnish
the statiutiety. [His Loirlship then rietted the pin-
to:whoa of the case us it has *tirade appeared In
tins mid other jourterls.l He tle•ei'descrihed the
earnest endeavours token by Alderman King to
have ti.e subject inquired into by • judicial
course, together with the opinion delivered by
the Attorney nM Sulititor-General egainst sub-
mitting the rase to any such issue. He read
the subsequent eouisitishie.ilions between the
Irish Govevument and the Commissioners elf Ex-
cise, by *lnch it appeared that the Lord Lieu-
tenant decided filially that Aldermen King should
make restutitioie to the Government ia the amount
of all the frauds committed by Fox, and retail' the
monopo;y. Having disposed or the imputation of
fraud, he came next to consider the object of the
motion, the removal of the monopoly. Upon this
subject he sate the greatest difficulty. Ile did not
say that the monopoly was an advautege to the pub-
lic *twice, but he thought. that an individuel
furnishing such • monopoly out of his own
capital, in • country where ruintey dud prices trete
so different from what they were here, could not be
expected to famish the articles at the lowest prices
to which eouspetition could reduce them. Be it as
it might, the Lord Lieutenant had issued orders fur
an inquiry to examine if the stationery could be fur-
wished at any considerable differesice in the amount
of the prices, alid if so, the monopoly was to be
taken feum Alderman King. Until that examina-
tion had closed, it would he impossible to deter.
* * whether the public were wronged or not. He
concladed by moving the previouequestion.
The Marquis or LA WIDOWS promised to confine
himself to a very few observations, trusting to the
assurance.' of the Noble Viscount that sat a-osmium-
tune was going on, and that if the result were con.
mien% es to the impositions which had beets alleged
to have been practised oei the Irish Government,
the power reserved to it its the patent was sarcoma
to withdraw that patent. He was a-tottished that
such fronds could have crept into transactions
with the Government; he was still more surprised
to liter site Noble Viscount assume that the public
had suffered no wrong, because Alderman King
furnished the goods out of ins owe& eaptal. Wei
the advantage of having stationery supplied by an
Alderinate's capital so great as to competioue the
Government ler paying for it twice as much
acs would, have beets paid to the ordinary loader
for articles very far superior ie value ?--
He held in his hood • paper, from which it
appeared that Aldermase Ktug had Levu paid
71. 17a. Bd. for super-toy-al paper, which tire boats
fide merchant had supplied to Aldrtibaut King
himself fur 31. Pas. 441. He was atituniolred at 11111.1

been adopted to remove the blame hom one to ass-•

for whose conduct they were held responsible. He'
