Fee Fund, the Report states, that the Cominia-
sioaers have no reason to imagine that there has
been any want of requisite attention and regyla-
rity ; but they feel it their duty to observe, that
the whole of that business is conducted with less
check and examination than the money conc=erns
of the public ought to he. This fund, for the last
nine years, has averaged about 28.0001. a-year ;
and, with respect to the appropriation of it, the
Report observes, " that it is placed at the discre-
tionary disposal of the Secretary at War, without
his beiag called upon to account in any shape
for the expenditure of it ; it has furnished him with
