Lord KENYON said, that When a Report similar
to this, was read, on the first day of the last
'Term, he . directed an Inquiry to be made, whe-
ther the complaints which had been 'exhibited to
him on behalf of a Convid, respelling the
cloaths 'that were allowed by order of Govern-
ment to Couvias was well-founded or not ; the
result of which, His Lordship stated to be per_
filly satisfaciory, and such as left, no blame
`whatever 'on the Keeper, although the very intelli-
gent person whohad made this Inquiry, and after-
wards his Report to His Lordship, added by
way of opinion, that it would perhaps be better
if this
.whole system were annihilated.-7-It was
right, however,- to add, that the charge against
the Keeper was wholly unfounded, and that no
imputation whatever now rested upon thai
Officer. . •

Mr. CAMPBELL said he was extremely obliged
to his Lordship for the last observation he had
been pleased to make, as it completely vindicated
his charpder from an attack that had been made
u_ it.
His Lordship said Mr.. CAM', s ELL had a right
to expea It was my duty," said his
Lordship, " to hear the charge made, and to
inquire into the truth of it ; but when that. charge
is done away, it is equally my duty to see that
no blame rests upon you."
