THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 1836,

quarter your Committee thirk the cash balance exceeded
this latter sum. _

It is thus shewn that the Treasurer of the County had
on the Ist of September, 182$, more money in hand than
was sufficient for the whole expenditure of the quarter end-
ing on the 19th of October. From the Ist of September
to the 19th October, he receved in addition to the sum
already mentioned 10,9411. Iss. 6d., of which 6,559/. ss.
was paid to him on the 2d, 3c, and sth of September, and
the account for the quarter chsed with a balance in favour
of the County-19th October 1835, of 17,210/. Os. 4-id.,
of which 11,0011. 10s. lid. was cash in hand.
There is a difference of 3304 10s. 6d. between the ba-
lance in favour of the county, a: stated by your Committee,
and the accounts published if the quarter ending 19th
October, 1835. One item of tie difference, but not in the
expenditure account, is thus stied—
" Allowed the Collectors of the Rates for the

extra Parochial places for Pouidage, making
Assessments, &c., for the Yeas 1830, 1831,
1832, 1833."

On this item your Committee remark, that these sums
are bona fide payments from the County Rate,—that they
do not appear in the expenditurE of the County,—that the
accounts of several of the years, as audited by the Magis-
trates, and published, balance without any such payments.
Under these circumstances, your Committee adhere to the
balance, as stated by them, until satisfactory evidence is
given to the contrary. The probable cause of the insertion
of this item on the back of the expenditure accounts, was
the mode your Committee adopted in their former Report,
page 7, in examining the expenditure of the year, commenc-
ing 14th October, 1833, and ending 13th October, 1834.
Your Committee, having shown that 11,0011. 10s.
was cash in hand to commence the next quarter's expendi-
ture, on the Monday, 21st October, 1835, were exceedingly
surprised to find the following entry
" 1835, Dec. 15, Messrs. Snow :and Paul one-

fourteenth part of Principal of No. 20 Bond
for 63,0001.,
,borrowed at 4 per cent. on ac-
count of ConntyrLunatic Asylum £4,500 0 0
" To clitto„.Forty- Days' Interest on the above,
from Ate sth of November to 15th of Decem-
ber, at 4 per cent.
Much as these items astonished your Committee, they
were much more astonished to hear one of the Magistrates,
Capt. Acklom, state, in.. the public Court of Quarter Ses-
sion, on the 14th April instant, that the County sustained
the loss of the 191. 14s. 6d. additional interest to Snow and
Paul, because the Parish of St. George, Hanover-square,
did not pay the Rate.
Your Committee, in a former Report of the County Ex-
penditure, recommended the Magistrates to adopt the plan
of printing, " on the order and demand for tile payment of
each Rate, a Copy of the Estimated Expenditure for the
Quarter." The Magistrates adopted the suggestion ; and
your Committee reprint the estimate upon which the ex-
travagant Rate 32,9911. 10s. was assessed upon the County
in July, 1833. In this document, published by the Magis-
trates themselves, will confute Capt. Acklom's attack on
the Vestry of St. George, Hanover-square.

Your Committee remark, that one item that appears in
the July estimate is for Snow and Paul, sth Nov. 1835,
5,310/. And the rate on July 9, 1835, for 32,9911. 10s.,
was attempted to be justified on the ground of this and
other bonds. becoming due after the expiration of the quar-
ter, and, as was alleged, before another rate could be en-
forced to meet the payments.
The pariish of St. George, Hanover-square, paid, on the
sth of Au, past, 1835, their quota 3,3351. 10s. of that ex-
travagant z ate.
On these, :facts your Committee rely, as a complete refu-
tation of Captain Acklom's public statement against the
Vestry of St. George, Hanover-square.
If Capt. I.cklom had stated, that the Vestry of St.
George, Han. over- square, having unnecessarily contributed,
in August 1E435, for payments coming due, according to the
Magistrates' -estimate, in the November following,---did not
chooie to r.dvance funds a second time for the same pur-
poses for v rliich they supplied the money four months be-
fore, your Committee might then have agreed with him,
and his rev o.arks on the conduct of the Vestry of St. George,
Hanover-i ;quare, might have been spared.

try by I'l°6 ;Ong individual attacks; they attack the system,
