One of her Majesty's ships, when on a
cruise, was wrecked on a dangerous coast, and
the stores and specie on board were at risk.
The admiral on the station gave orders that every exer-
tion should be made to save the specie and stores, and Capt.
Dickinson was the officer who had the duty in charge, and

sum of money was • saved from the ship.

the excesssive charges and extortion of the Admiralty
,and Ecclesiastical Courts, had been exposed, but he
would say, this bill of the Board of Admiralty, of 1831
and 1832, he did not know who they were, was
of a worse character. It was not only abo-
minable extortion, but gross robbery.—(Bear, hear.)
Thirteen thousand pounds was charged for the wear and
tear of these vessels, and they also charged for the time
the ships were employed on other service for the vic-
