COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Ti:URSDAY, lUNt 211.
The SOLICITOI-GENERAL moved, that the Pay-
masters might be admitted to authenticate tIT ac-4
counts of their Offices before the. Commissioners of
Public Accounts, without being under the necessiry I
of producing certain vouchers which were stated to
be lost. The 39 Geo. HI. c. 83, recited, that the ;
Paymasters' Accounts should be vet ified by the Ac-
countant .General 'with the Pay-Office, before one
of the Barons of the Exchetpler, and three
mii-loners. By the 4'6 Geo: 111. c.bB,•Sea• 8, tii
Paymaster was to transmit the Accounts to the Com-_,A;
missioners for auditing the Public Accounts, after
which a quietus was to be issmtd..
..This motion was supported by an affidavit of the
Paymaster-General:as to the rats; and by otters, of
Isaac Barre, representative of Colonel Barr 6, .and
Mary Burke, representative. of Edmund Burke. It'
. was stated in the affidavit of the Paymaster-General,
that the Commissioners had required Vie vouchers,
but they could not be found ; and, as the excuse for
not producing them, it was alleged, that in Fe-
bruary, 1797, it was discoiered that a seri-sint of the,.
Pay-Off ;e had -stolen them, and sod them for
waste-paper . to shopkeepirs and others, and they
had produced to him no less a sum than 2001. 'When '
this was known, applicaion was made to Magis-
trates, and orders were giver! to the Bow-street Of-
ficers 'to use their utmost diligence to recover these -
vouche'rs ; but only a very seuJll portion of them
were obtained.
The accounts-made-our-far-the Impettion of the
CoMmissioners, were said to be correct statements
from the books kept in the Pay-office; and it was-
sworn that thedisbursetnents- healed, were, to the
best of the Deponent's knowledge,, actual payments
for the account of the Paymaster-General, iu the -
amounts, and at the times specified,
' Mr. Baron TuomrsoN.—" Is the Clerk alive who
made the entries in the books, Which entries, it is t,o
be presumed, .were supplied irorn the vouchers them-
selves ?"

• The SOLICITOR GENERAL.---" I am' afraid the
person is 'not alive. lam not sore that the books
would not be evidence. Public bookS, kept at the
time, were held to be so 'on Lord Nielville's
They might be evidence, and yet not be Vouchers.—
The object of the motion is only toenable the Com-
missioners to receive as evidence. the best substitute
for these vouchers."

TheCntßF BAReNT.-gi Does it appear that the man
who sold these vouchets was itr the office at ►he time
they were so diSposed of ?"'
The SOLICITOR GENERAL—" I apprehendony
Lord, there can be no doubt about that. The Rule,
it granted, 1 suppoSe, must be served upon the At-
torney General, and upon the Commissioncrs."
Rule to shew cause granted.
