O,N PUBL IC7 -E 'li. PEN D TI.TBE..

[Continued from our Paper of Saturday.]

Copy Treasury Minute, 3d April, 1812.
My Lords have under their serious considera-
tion, the arrangements, which it may be .expellient
to adopt for providing for the future payment and
"execution of the several services which were under
the charge of Mr. Chinnerv, late a Chief Clerk in
this Office, independently -4 his situation of Chief
Clerk.

These services may be classed under the follow-
ing heads, viz.
The Nyment of—..
Ist. The Salaries and Establishment of the,Treasury out of
the Fee Fund, and the Issue from .the Exchequer ont of •the
Civil List, to. make up the deficiency.
2d. The Incident s of the Trea.r..llry.
3d. Special Service and Royal 13omity.
4th. Lady's Bounty List,
sth. Sheriffs for Conviction of Felons, and over payments
u their Accounts..
6th. Rills for Expenses of Convicts at home.
7th. Bills drawn from New South 'Wales, which is distinct
from the Agency of the 'Colony. '
Bth. Small Payments out of Array Extraordinaries.
9th. Miscellaneous and occasional Services.
14th. The receipt and payment into the Exchequer, of the
Fees of certain Offices in the Establishments of the Lord
Steward, Lord Chamberlain, Moister of the Horse. Master of
the Robes, and also in Abe, ENchequer ; which °dices were
suppressed by-the Act 22 Geo. 111. c. 82. but the Fees there-
tofore payable in respect .of the said suppressed ()likes were
directed by that Act, tine continued to be reCei red. for the
benefit of the'Civil List, and for that*purpose to be at the
disposal of the Lords of the Treasury. • -
It appears to my Lords, upon the best cOnsider-•
ation they are able to give to this subject„that, the
• •
greater part of these services must necessarily,
and that tie Whole of- them (with the exception
of the fees of suppressed offices, to -which my
'Lords 'will hereafter advert) would most conve,
niently be executed by indivjduals- in the Treasury
Under their Lordships' immediate ,ditections ; but
considering the variety and magnitude in the ag-
,gregate of‘the issues for these services, their Lord-
. stiipZ are ofoopinion, that the execution of them
should be allotted to, and divided between such
four of the Are chief and principal Clerks, as shall
not, under the existing arrangemsnts for the audit
and examination of Accounts 111 the Treasury.,
associated with -the Assistant Secretary in that

duty.
" By this arrangement, the pecuniary responsibi-
lity- of each IndiVidnal -will be• very-much dimi-
nished Land "in order to insure the speediest ex-
amination of the several Accounts for these Ser-
vices, my Lords are pleased to direct that the fol-
. teqving .arrangements be adopted, .to take effect
from the sth inst. Vi'L.
That eeCil. chief Or3principal Clerk charged with
fide extention'of any of theme services,' shall depo-
sit all II:Ionics received forthe same: with a hanker
to be approved by this Board, immediately. upon
the receipt thereof, and in cage siich banker shall
be his private banker,
.shall open. a separate' ac-
'count for the,sanef and' shall not defray any of
the services entrusted to him iii any other manner,
than by a check on his banker for the same, upon
which check shall be written the words, " Trea-
sury Account," or by the acceptance of Bills pay-;
able at his banker's, in cases where it has been
the ordinary course or 'practice to discharge such
services by Bills drawn upon this Board„ or on
the principal or Chief Clerk by direction of this
Board ; and shall enter, all receipts and payment's
relating tot the Accounts under his charge in
s,epar4e Books of Accounts,,- to be kept in-this
Office, in the form of a Day-book and,a Ledger.
- That at the clOse of every quarter, each chief or
principal Clerk shall make out separate and dis-
tinct Accounts of the Receipt§ and Payments for
each Service with which he is entrusted, andlay
the same before the Board on or befdre the fourth
Board-day after' the expiration of such Quarter,
together with the Vouchers in support of the ac-
count and the authorities, in all casesewhere the
payments shall have been made•under special, and
not under general authorities ; and shall also lay
before the Board his. D.4-book and Ledger ; and
upon tke view,and inspection-of those Accounts
and Documents, my Lords will either proceed
themselves to 'the immediate examination of the
Accpunts, or will direct their eyEimination by the
Auditors in the Treasury; as they may deem expe-
'dient. And .that eaehofsuch Accounts, in case
its nature- and descriptiOn will admit of it, shall be
, accompanied by an Estimate of the probable Ex-
penditure for the current quarter. - And'up money
shall be issued for any such services, but upon a
application'to the Board, stating the amount
of the .balance unapplied on the account for which
the issue i 3 required, andthe probable or expected-
amouu t the Service's to be defrayed by the issue',
and the probable periods when the sar4e will be.;
Come payable :. and my Lords are pleased-to allot
the execution of the afire-goin7 services (with
the exception of that relating to fees or suppressed
'offices) between Mr. Alcock, Mr. Cipriani,' Mr.
7Speey, and Mr. Nieolay, in the following plan-
ner, viz. "-* ,

Mr. Ale o:.7lc—The payment. of,the Bills irawn t--titri New
SontirWales ; :Sheriffs Convictions and fl;'<rpaymeniN.
• . TO-Mr: - payment of I.sreastey Salaries and
Establishment.
To Mr: Speer-Special 'Service and Royal Bounty; Treasury
Incidents; Lady's Bounty List,
To Mr. `,iicolay-,,.-The Bills for Expetices of Convicts:at
home ; rayments Out of Army EN:traordinaries.
\Stith regard to the payment of-misceilaneous
and oc&It iOnal services,•which, froM their nature,
it is obvious must occur at uncertain periods, it
Appears • to ;my. 'Lords that some inconvenience
might arise from making any specifice allotnientof
those services, and that it will therefore be more
desirable that they should. _be left 'open to_be exe.-,
cacti by any one of tlie said principal and chief
Clerks, to whom their. ,Lordships may, when the
services,shall occur, think fit to allot the Payment
of the same. And is their Lordships' inten-
tion (and they desire:. it to-- be so distinctly under-
stood) that no profit whatever is, to he derived by
any muividaal executing these service, from mo-
:ney remaining in his • banker's.'hands• applicable
thereto, my Lurds are of opinion, that it is rea-
sonable that the respective principal and, chief
• Clerks should each receive for their trouble in the
execution of these services, the sum of 10Q/. per
annum net, in addition to their present salaries,

+6 comrt.encetroin the sth instant, .rid are pleased
to direct that the same be- placed upon the esta-
blishment elf the Treasury accordingly.
illy Lords read the Act of the 22d of the King,
-cap. 82, directing the continuance of the ree,:ipt
and th eappli cation of the fees of suppressedoffees.
As under the said Act, the fees of suppressed of-
fices in the:several departments before referred to,
are placed at their Lordships' disposal for the be-,
nefit of the Civil List, my Lords are inclined to
think that some arrangement of the followin'g de-
scription, might render the office of -theßeceiVer
of th ese Fees altogether unnecessary; namely, that
the amount of the Fees received in each of the said
several departments (with the exception of the
Exchequer) should be stated to this Board in their
quarterly_ applications for the issue of the
.snins
necessary to defray their quarterly expences., .and
should be (lauded from the amount of such quar-
.te4 eXpenseS, and that such a sum only should
-be issued,_ together with the ;Amount of those Fees,
shall be adequate to defray-the-same. . And when
my Lords have before theM the Returns which
have been called for, of the sums paid to Mr.
Chinnery by the said several departments on ac-
count of such fees; they will take this subject into
their further Consideration.
With respett to the Accounts of Fees received
in. the Treasury, which constitute a part of the
Funds applicable-to the payment bf the Salaries
and Expeuces of the Offices, and which at the close
of each .quarter, are paid over by the. Clerk of the
Fees, to the chief Clerk paying the salaries,
.thy:
Lords are pleased to . direct, .'.that the four. chef
Clerks do .consider and jointly report to my 1.43rd5,:
their opinion as to the manner rn which the quar-
terly Accounts of those Fees mar be, most satis-
factorily examined And checked, When. my Lords
Will again have this part of the subject under their
consiaeration: . . . .

.(General BoarA.)
, Audit-Office, Somerset-place, 11th Nov. 1307,

My Lords—We have the honour to infbrm your
Lordships, that havins; observed in the account
orWm. Chinnery, .Esq. as Agent for the Bahama
Islandg; for the year ending 31st Dec. .ISO 6, a
balance appearing' to be due to the Public, of
6,331 t. ss. lid. ; and in his account, as agent for
New South Wales, for the same period, a like ba-
lance of 21,7141.55. 3d. ; we thought it our duty
to "inquire into the nature of We- outstanding de-
mands upon these balances, with a view of ascer-
taining, whether they were not more than an ade-
quate provision for the payments, which were
likely,to be claimed within a reasonable time.
In consequence of these inquiries, we have been
informed by Mr. Chinnery, that since the delivery
of the above Accounts he has made' certain pay-
ments,' as Agent for the Bahamas and New South
Wales, by- which the amounts of those- balances
have beenn-considerably reduced. The. payments
made by him On the former Taccount he stetes to
.be 91.71.105. and those on the latter, 71,7751.
6d. ; and he deducts also frOm the amounts of' the
balances, the several sums-disallowed or'Surcharg
eel in- former accounts, and the sums retained at
the Exchequet for Property Tax upon the Salaries
of the several Colonial Officers. The deductiOns
made upon these grounds by the Accountant,
amount in the Bahamas Account, to 3,9021. ss.
9d. and in the New Squth Wales Account to
4,9291. 9s. lid. After these deductions, in addi-
tion to those for payments'made since the delivery
of the Accounts, there - will remain *,a balance in
Mr. Chinnery's - hand, in the former instance,
of 1,5111. 95.,714. and in the latter, of 2,90061.
7s: sd:

Since the delivery of Mr. Chinnery's New South
Wiles Account, we have been informed, by Mr.
Harrison's letter, dated sth JUne, 1807; that Mr.
Chinnery has received your Lordship's directions
to present for acceptance tCVo bills for the stuns of
I ,050/..,..n.nd 1,1t41. remitted from New South
Wales. for value of-Government Cattle, and to re-
ceive the amount when due ; and we are 'directed
to charge Mr. Chinnery with those sums in his
account; as agent for New •Soiith Wales.

We also observe, by the 'Appropriation Act of
the last Session: of Parliament] 47the Vreo, 111.
Sess. 2.eap. 76, that there b granted c.).liis Ma-
jesty out of the aids and supplies of the present
year, the sum of 4,4001. for defrayingthe expences
-of the' Civil Esiablislinient in the Bahaina Islands
f6r the year 18071 anfl 12,7051. for the like pur-
pose :Neiv South Wales, during the _same pe-
riod.

.• We apprehend.that. it is the, usual practice of
Colonial Agents; shortly after the passing of the
usual APpropriatiOn Acts, to -obtain from your
Lordships ant'hinify; enabling them to receive the
amount of the sums granted for The sel-vicf:s
'of their respective Settlement. In case Mr.
Chin-
nerST received the abtive sums trout his i:lajcs-
ty's Eehequcr, and the two bills from New
South-Wales, the balances in his hadds, according
to the 'foregoing statement, must amount, at.the
present time, upon his, :Account/as Agent for the
Bah:imas, to BA2I. 55.,9d.•; and as agent for
New South Wales to the sum of 23,865/.ls:sd.
• (To be continued.) '

In consequence of the war with Ameriea, it may
be difficult to procure flax seed in that abundance
whieh may sow_the laud in cultivation : It would
therefore be a desirable thing, that during the flax
Harvest, [sue attention should by paid to linen and
ireserve the, seed throughout the British tupire,
which, if properly reaped, is equally excelle4 with
that of our enemies.
All the money on board the Abero-avenny , lost
some years ago near Weymouth, to, thet' amount of
60,000/. in dollars, has' been recovered by Team
of the diving-bell. The vessel has since been
blown up under water, to prevent, the wreck from
forming a dangerous shoal.

4.1:, A -CV REPORT;

COURT OF c HANCEI!Y, c. -227

Mr I 1,,,TY, V. MO 1-111 IS

TLC 1.13Rp C.1.1:11•“.;LLLOR this•day, gave judgment
on; the motions made and repeatedly argued, aris:-
. ing out of the affairs of the Haymarket Theatre.
.The • parts of the question which related to the
propriety of Mr. Colman's conduct as principal
manager,. and 'whether Mr. Moak, by: the. pur-
chase -of the moiety ,ofOne' of the thirdsewas to be
held as possessing the majority of interestein the
Theatre, coukl not be decided till the causes 'on.t
of which they arose came to be heard., There
Were Some points, howeyer, Which be could now
decide, independently of those two questions. In
the first place, as to the rigliPt of Mr. Morris, the
Treasurer, to draw out 'of the handi of the bankers
at the commencement of a season, and 4001.
each a week
.during the season—that was a right
which ,his Lordship could not withhold from him
without at once putting an end to the conCern.
'The clause no doubt required that the receipts of
each night should be lodged in.the hands of tii6
bankers in the,naines of all the three proprietor
and Mr. Morris disregarding this•clause, had been
in the habit of.lOdging the receipts in his own
name, tinder th`e iniinvsion,. that if he. had paid
them in in the naives- of ail the proprietors, they
would not cot enr iii)tllot.ving him to draw it out
again. ';This practice, though it had been attend-
ed with no injurious. eonsequencce, innst be 'dis=
*continued; and, Mr. Morris must in. future pay the
nightly receipts intothe hands of theebankers, in
the joint names of the three proprietors, they, how-
'ever, being restraiutel from interfering, with the
drawir,g out the 400‘. a week. .As to the -ouestion
of arrears of salary, chimed as due to Mr.ninston,
his Lordship could- not .see on what
.grantid Was
to be :withheld while. the salaries. of .11r. Colman
and. Mr.
.Morris were to them. The
.Stage,
l'NLitinger,. which Mr.. Winston was, at the time
time td the execution of the dee*, was to.6et ap-
pointed annually a majority :,",pro /sac taco, the
Court i::self.nrait be that majority, till the eines-
tion which Constituted . the majority was ,settled.
The Cutirthad found Mr. Winston Stage "..N.lana-
ger, and in that situation he must remain till the
main que;tion was decided. His salary, of course,
must he paid to, him. As to the stun of Mt. ad-
mitted by Mr. .Morris to have been retained by
him, his. Lordship- was not, in the whole' circum-
stances of the case, prepared to order it to be paid
by him into"the hands of the hankers at present.
There was nothing'morally wrong in the conduct
of Mr. Morris; which conic! warrant the Court in
saying that he ought td be removed from the office
of Treasurer. The Court, his Lordship again re-
minded the parties, could only interfere between
them to the of of dissiilving the ill-arranged
and everlasting contract which had hitherto. pro-
duced so much unhappiness. lf, therefore, they
wished the concern not to be broken up, he once
more advised them to refer it to' some person to
draw up a rational deed between them, which
might be capable of beingazted on.
