tion, as I cannot obtain satisfaction of the Ministers, and am

, . .
apprehensive that 1 shall le brought before you. I have
been promised attention to my claims many tim,s from all
the Mint !rs, but those promises have been unattended with

Mr. litatuELL—What claims? Dr. Quail—They are for
seventeen years' pay and pension for services to Greece,
Poland, and Portugal. 25,000/. per annum is accredited to
this Government from Portugal to pay the Legion, to which
_ .

I belong, and of which I hav-e never received -a
fraction, and
have been engaged diplomatically since 1833 to establish the
claims. There is credit open upon the revenue of Greece,
upon which I have a claim of 15,0001., since 1829, whilst the
Government are also indebted to me in the amount of 50/.

a year, for eight years from Poland. The British Parlia-
ment accords 12,0001. a year to pay the Polish refugee army,
but I have not been paid any subsidy since 1837.
Dr. Quail was proceeding, when-
-INlr. BURRELL stopped him by observing, " This is not a
matter, sir, which I can entertain."
Dr. Quail—The repeated promises with respect to these
claims have never been fulfilled.

Mr. BURRELL —I have nothing whatever to do, sir, with
matters of this description.
Dr. Quail, however, proceeded, and after urging with much
earnestness what he, no doubt, considered the strong points
of his case, added, I wish for a warrant, sir, against the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, that he may be brought before you to
discuss the motive for my being deprived of my rights.
Mr. BURRELL (smiling)—(,h no, I could not think of doing
that. 1 here is not the slightest ground for entertaining
such an application.
Dr. Quail—But the Ministers are amenable to the laws as
well as ourselves.
Mr. turtnELL—That n:ay be, but certainly not in the
way you propose. I must repeat, I have nothing to do, sir,
with such matters.
Dr. Quail again went on to urge his claims, until the pa-
tience of the worthy magistrate was almost exhausted ; and,
after repeatedly assuring the applicant that the case was one
in which he could not interfere, withdrew, as did soon after
the learned doctor.
