had made a great Impression upon his mind. Ile meant that
which related to the appointment of several young men as
cadets, which had been obtained by a certain influence, as ap-
peared on the evidence before the Select Committee. lie wished
to know whether the Directors meant to come to any Resolu-
tion upon that subject, and whether that Hesolut ion would take
effect without submitting the propriety of such a measure to
the approbation of the Court of Proprietors.
The President not giving any information upon this subject,
Mr. Lowndes, Mr. Scott, Mr. Twining, Mr. Jackson, and Nlr.
El phinstone, severally expressed it as their opinion, that it was
incompetent for the Court to pronounce any decision upon this
tatbject at present, deficient as it was in the nece-sary iuforma-
tiou with respect to the abuses complained of. They expressed
their determination, however, to discuss the matter fully and
fairly nu the earliest opportunity that presented itielf.
The Court adjourned at three o'clock.
