THE EDMUNDS' CASE.

A document, dated December 14, 1869, and
signed with the initials of three Lords of the Trea-
sury, and of the then permanent Secretary, has
been issued, in which their lordships' decision
regarding the Edmunds' case is indicated. They
say that they have had under their consideration
the award - made by the arbitrators in the suit
" Attorney-General against Edmunds," and the
action of " Edmunds against Greenwood." By
that award it appeared that Mr. Edmunds stood
indebted to the public in no less a sum than
£8,544 18s. In accordance with the recom-
mendations of the arbitrators, their lordships are
willing to relieve Mr. Edmunds from the payment
of the £1,402 15s. referred to in the award as hav-
ing been received by him in respect of the parchment
account ; and, with regard to the balance, they di-
rect that the necessary steps be taken for its re-
covery. They consider it their duty to offer some
remarks with reference to a part of the proceedings.
Their lordships observed with pain and surprise,
during the progress of the suit, the persevering
efforts made by Mr. Edmunds to " vilify and
misrepresent" the motives of their solicitor, Mr.
Greenwood. They take the earliest opportunity
of declaring that all such imputations are ut-
terly groundless and unwarrantable. The award
made fully justifies the report made by
Messrs. Greenwood and Hindmarsh, that Mr.
Edmunds has been in the habit of receiving, and
appropriating to his own use, sums of money which,
in their opinion, belonged to the public. Their
lordships desire it to be understood that any public
p
servant having charge of public money, and apply-
ing any portion of such money to his purposes
under any pretence whatever, or making public
money in any way available as a means of profit
to himself individually, or making the opportuni-
tiesott their
which a public office may afford a source of
profit to
himself, is, in the judgment of
I Lordships, guilty of malversation, and ought
be punished by instant diagosal.
