Major IL Terry stated, that 4111 tlik decease of Ser.
jeatit Prima, of the 25th regiment, he bad to make
up his accounts, as Capiaiu of the company. About
a week after his decease lie waited upon Paymaster
Smith, and informed him that u great many debts
had been given in against the Serjeant, far beyond
what lie was able to liquidate; mud he desired to
know of hint if he bad any account to settle, if so,
to resider it. The Paymaster told I he had a
private account, but believed there was nothing
coming to the late Serjeasit. He went away im-
pressed with the idea that he had nothing to receive.
Soon after he was ordered for Demerara, and he
lost no time in settling, among others, Serjeant
Patteu•s account. He sent for his Pay-Serjesnt,
who informed him there was a report in the bar-
racks that Paymaster Smith had 160 .dollars be-
longing to the deceased. In consequence, lie wait-
ed upon the Paymaster, mid told him of the re-
port; the Paymaster said lie had two dollars nod a
half, which the witness refused to receive. rod di-
rected him to pay it his Pay-Serjeatit, or one of Ser-
jeent Patteu's creditors. He immediately dosed
up the deceased's account, and paid off his creditors
as far as his money would go, which brought the
deceased twovence in debt. He told Major Pest
what his Pay-Serjeant had said about 160 dollars.
He then gave all his accounts to his successor,
Lieutenant Small, and embarked as ordered.
Cross.extmaked by Permute" Smith.
He did not recollect whether the Paymaster said
that he had nu public account whatever to settle,
except the two dollars : he went away impressed
with the idea that he had no account at all.

Major Peat said, that about the 10th of March
the Paymaster came to him with the casualty return
of the debts and credits of deceased soldiers for the
month of February, for him to sigu, and on its-
specting it he found Serjeinit Patten two-pence in
debt. He told the Paymaster he was astonished
that it should be the case, as the Serjeuut was a
good man, and received considerably inure than his
pay. heard no inure of it for some time, until
the Adjutant informed bit,, one morning that the
Serjrains had been conversing together about the
deceased's debts, as they knew he had money, and
could not find iu whose baud* it was, and it was
(Nerd his debts could lint he paid. lie sent fur the
Paymaster and informed huts of it, when lie said

Colonel Farquharson here rose, and said he
should resign his place to Major Terry, Ng lie was
better able to detail the circumstances than I elf.
Major Terry proceetted. He said his subsistence
from the 25th of June. to the 24th of September,
1816, was 5716 10s. He missed drawing his pay
in the West 'tidies, and let it accumulate till his
return to England iu August last, but he was not
able to get it till the l9tii of September last. He
was much surprised to hear from die agents that
the Paymaster had drawu the money out of their
bands, he having given no authority whatever to
Paymaster Smith for drawing it or detaiiiiiig it.—
He neither received pay from the Paymaster for
many months prior to the 25th of June, nor had
he received any subsequently. He was lout to a
very great iiiconvenience, am( be iinin...iiattly orote
a letter to Paymaster Smith.
Major Terry read ,everid letters from himself to
the Paymaster and the agents, with their answers,
by which lie understood that the Paymaster lei t
drawn one hundred and fourteen p0i.0(14 from the
public on his account.
Lieutenant Anderson was called to corroborate
the former witiiessirs. He resisted Ila t
stoner* as to Pupil ister Smith having money
humid belonging to Serjeant Puttee a the time of
his death. On hie cro,s-exarmiatia t. he adhiotted
having intrusted Payinastcr Smith, after his re, urn
to England, with a coastderahle sum in d0111)!OOO,
without, to his recolleciion, having taken any ref
ceipt or acknowledginetit for it the pay,i,,,Aer had
exchanged it for Eiglish currency, and !Immoral/1y
accounted fur it.

Several sion-comtnissioneil officers gave nearly
the mime account of the transactions upon hicit
dirge charges were rounded ; but oil their ero.s.
examination it appeared that so little had their cm!,
'Weiser in the Paymaster's credit and integrity been
altered by them, that they had continued to iiit, list
him with their money down to the present mo-
ment, even without requiring any receipt; and they
never lied the slightest OCC4IIIOII to complain Of it,
regularity in his accounts.
Colonel Far.lulitorson having closed the prrwecii-
lion, Paymaster Smith was called upon tiir 114
