red by Lord Melville, because he •.w justified in
placing the eublic money there ; but the moment
he wen: even co the most respidtable private Bankers
his reseonsibility commenced. Events might hap-
pen not possibly lobe anticipated, the money might
.be lost, and
.then Lord Melville and, Mr. Tiotter
would be overwhelmed with destruCtion. Atter
all, however, the money had not been lying at
Couttes. It had been, employed in discounting
private bilk, and in apeculating; in the funds (hear!
bear/ I). The House would be appalled when
they relPeted on the extent of the trust reposed by.
Lord Melville in\ Mr. ,Trotter. In the course
tut Mr 'Trotter's continuing in office, . Lord Mel.
ville States that a hundred and thirty millions of
the public money had passed through Its bands. ,It
had been proved.that, of this sum, fifteen millions
had at different times been placed at a banker's.
That Lord Melville should have suffered this man to
go on in such a manner was of itself enough on which
to rest his accusation .(hear: hear). It was infamous
that the pittance wrung from the necessities of the
poor should he sported with in the hazardous game of
atoele.jobbing. The Only defence that Lord Melville
could have set up (if any thing that he could say on
the subject deserved the name of a defence), was,
that he had inquired into the accounts and proceed.
ings of Mr. Trotter, and was satisfied with their
regularity ; but no ! he knew nothing, he had
examined into nothing. The Hon..-Gentleman
exposed at considerable length the absurdity of
'l4r. Trotter's attempt to render his accounts at
Court's complex and confused ; but at the
conclusion he is sufficiently, methodical to feel
warranted in telling the Public that they are
no sufferers. He
„confesses he has had at his
disposal, five or seven hundred thousand pounds
in the year, but he cannot distinguish the pub,
lie from his private funds ! When the Commis-
sioners called on him to explain, he telused to
utter a word. What ,then must be the . inference ?
They then proceeded to investigate, and found that
NIG Trotter had had money by draughts on. the,
Batik of England. to the large.amount before stated,
with which he hid purchased stock of various kinds,
and a number of Navy Bills, at a time when the
discounts were considerable. He never tirolesses
bringing to, the account of the Public any of the
profits gained by these speCulations. is not Lord
IVleiville heavily responsible for all this ? „Ought
he not to have said tp Mr. Trotter, tt, You arc not
the person to embark in such speculations ps,tilese,
even on your private fortune. Conneaed as you
are with me, the PUblic will not believe but that'
you avail yourself of superior information, by Which
to regulate your movements in the- Funds t desist,
therefore, or leave my service ;" for. a servant he
certainly was, and as such, his master was com.
pletely answerable for his behaviour, The sums
with which Mr. Trotter speculated in the Funds
were enormous, even by his own bobk, which of
course would not contain a tenth part of them, Mr.
Mark Sprott, who, by the by, ought to have been
conTelled to answer all the questions of the Com.
soialoonera, purchased for him in one day above
300,6001. Another Broker transferred upwards of
35,0001. Was this fur the sake of security t Lord
Melville acknowledges in his evidence titer he knew
all this ; and yet when Mr. Trotter denied having
made any use of the public money, he never came
forward, as lie ought to. have done, and exposed`
the falsehood Paym..atet—i falsehood, indeed,
t': 3t might have remained undettatd to this day,
but for the praise-worthy vigilance of the Commis.
stoners of Naval If there was any who yet
doubted that the 'I reasurer and the Paymaster shared
in the spoil of the Public, he would proceed to ad.
Vance still more convincing proofs of their collusion.
io the firstplace, the large sums of money paid to
the account of Mr. Dundas, and which it would be
difficult to explain in any other manner, and then
that certain complexion which seemed to pervade
the whole of the speculation, They were all lucky :
this was a most suspicious . circumstance, and indi.
cattcl very strongly that an understanding existed
between them, to which Mr: Trotter was ire:
event y indebted for secret ititelligence. Not to
mention again the private -agency 'of Mra .Trot.
ter, or the destruttion of Lord Melville's papers,
it must be recolletted, that in the course of a few'
years upwards of a hundred and sixty thoOsand pounds
had been paid into Coot lei, in ihe names of the
Right Honourable Henry Putulas, 1-lenry Dundas,
anti Mr. Dundee ; now, whether these were all
one and the same person, did not seem very doubt-
ful. Allowing, therefore, that the whole amount
di Lord salary for that space of time
bad been paid into- Coutts's, it would have bottle
but a small propor.ion to such a sum as a hundred
, and sixty thousand pounds, Mr. ,Trotter was the
most 'improper Verson, that Lord Melville could
have seie4ed in the whole kingdom for his. Agent.
What I make his, Paymaster his private Agent !
receive sums of. money Ittial that Agent in advance,
and then tell the Commissioners that he really .did
not know. whether %ASCII '
advance was from the public
or from a private fund, Let us inquire a little into
the histoiy of this Mr. Trotter. , When Lord Mel.
ville first became Ticasurer of the Navy, he watt
a Clerk in the Pay.trflice; he was a man of tn.
Icrably good connexions, .but by nu means rich.
Lotd Mcivlde makes him his Paymaster, and soon
after (knowing his 'poverty) hurrtaWs considerable
ems of money from him. Why, he must know that
at WAS the public money from which these advances
were made---(hear! hear!)--:-Mr. Trotter had no
other money to lend. When Mr. Trotter is asked.
whether or not lie ever derived any advantage from
the use of the public money, he replies, " I wort't
tell you." What was Mr. Tierney's answer to a
• similar question ?-4, No." Mr. Bathurst's
Lord Harrowby's ?e-" No." Bur when it
the same retort churlish is

1;Y1,1,. When Lord Melville gives his evidence

,of the questions thus in all, rtu-

bability would be put 'to him. But alien lie
c requested to account for the deficiencies, .evith
the cause Of which the Treasurer of the.Nevy
ought certainly to he well. acquainted, he gives a
long equivocal answer, and rekrs them to. Mr.,
Trotter for inform'ation on the subject. But did
Mr. Trotter afford this, information O, no!—
When he came to . Lord, Melville's affairs,, he
stopped short at , once and wisely held his tongue.
Could there be a stronger proof than this of their
partivination in guilt ? And yet Lord Melville
pretends that it was only in June last that he became
acquainted with the wai, ie which Mr. Trotter
used the public money. Lord Melville was by no
means remarkable for the weakness of his me-
runty, perhaps rather the reverse : but when asked,
if he had derived advantage from the public money,
he replies, " not to the best of my recolleftion."
/t was somewhat strange, that hisrecolienion could
not assist him better in an affair of such importance.
As to the Salary of the 'Paymaster, it would be
better to increase it to a thousand or two thou.
aand 'molds, than to allow such unlimited depre.
dations to be committed on the Public. Could
it be supposed that the Legislature would remove
from the Treasurer the temptation of hazarding the
public money, and leave it at the mercy of his sub.
alterns ? The Honourable Gentleman alluded to
the case of Mr. Jellicoe, and contended that it was
an additional proof of Lord Melville's 'sharing in
the spoils of the Public, as he had forborne to press
the payment of jOiir• je'llene'S balance, apple.
hensiye, no doubt, of making him an enemy.—,
These suspicions were much confirmed by Lord.
Melville's last letter to the 'Commissioners, an
extraordinary produnion, and produced at an extra.
ordinary period,. four months after 'the delivery of
his first statement, and on the eve of the present dis.
cession. In the outset of ,this letter he thinks it
neceasary,to re.state the grounds of het former an.
ewers, with which the Cpmmissioners were suf.
Wendy acquainted. He proceeds, and again
complains of his want of recolleEtion. He
then asserts, that he never " knowingly " de.
rived any advantage from the public money, either
directly or indirectly, through the medium of Mr.
Trotter ; that is, he borrowed money from a
man, who, When he first knew him, was worth
nothing, and whose last dividepd exceeded eleven
thousand,pounds, and yet . did not " know " that
such loans must have come out of the public
purse. The destruction of Lprd Melville's pri.
vale. papers was a must suspicious circumstance, espe.
cially when corroborated by that of Mr. Trot.
ter's ledger, in which 'the accounts of all his em-
ployers and connexions must have shared the same
fete ; but when to 'lleac were added ,the loss of
Mr. Jellicoe's writings, it was impossible not to
feel complete- conviefon. of Lord Melville's guilt,
Having 'dwelt for some time on this topic, the
Honourable Gentleman proceeded to comment on his
Lordship's Letter, and contended, that it left him
precisely in the same situation in which he • was
placed by the Report. There were n.any points
which he hid left untouched, from an apprehension
of exhausting the patience of the House. If, by
the trimmer in which he had concluded himself on
this occasion, he had departed from that modera-
tion with which he proposed to, regulate himself,
it was master of sincere ,regret tat him. But he
trusted the House would at in a manner con.
eistent with its digpity in dispoaing of this ques-
tion. Not only, the charaner of Patliament, but, of
.every individual Member of the House,. was con.
cerned. It was due, to the Gauntry ~to prove, that
no man in pewer, no person bigtvin office, ur placed
in a situation of trust or responsibility, could
with impunity violate the Lew, or prove, un.
taithful to their duty. He had no wish, to
wound the feelings of any Geptleman ;,but he was
confident he should appeal for support to every
Member in the House except those relatives of the
Noble Lent who could not he expeted to vote for
his repositions. kie could nut ..ceneeive it pos.
allele ter any ()Oleo 'description of persons to op.
pose them. The Country Gentlemen, ever dis.
tinguiahed guardians of the public money, could
not lend their assistance to shelter from the yen.
geance, of the 'House any persons guilty of great
malversation in the management of the public
money. Neither would those Honnorable and dis.
tinguished Officers of the hriby and Navy, who
were Member's of that Howse, give any encourage.
merit to transactions inconsistent with the noble len.
'intent of honour with which they were animated.
They vvouli be the first to stigmatise a flagrant vio.
letion of the law.. What would the Commercial Mem.
bets of the House think of the transaction, if their
confidential 'Agents should think proper to destroy
their accounts ?, would they not regard it with hor.
rur ; and - had not .Mr. Trotter speculated in the
Stocks with the public money so as materially to in.
jure trade P Would they be satisfied with this gross
violation of law Would they be contented with_
such praftieet, merely because it was stated that no
loss had 'accrued to'. the Public? Would it have been
a justification of Mr. /Weft, or of Any other person
in the same unfortunate circumstances, to have said,
Here is your money : you have sustained no loss
through my malpractices ? Would they be satisfied,
when calling for ievestigation of accounts to their
Agenti, ,to be told that all vouchers had been de-
stroyed P, They certainly could nor; and lot had
every right to presume that he should have the bee
refit of their support. With equal confidence he
could appeal to those Members of the Learned Pro.
fession whose peculiar province it was to 'assist in
the picsecutioni and trials of public offenders, and
who every day' Witnessed the'exemplary pueislunent
pf culprits fur offences far Ices criminal than those
which formed the matter of his charge. Could the

arid impartially in a Court of Equity. urge any
thing with propriety in justification of a palpable
and direct violation of law 'Ceuld the Right

tion in Europe, would vote for bit 'propositiolito
He called opon the House to recoiled, before they
should come to the vote, the circumstances under
which the offences he charged had been committed.
He called upon them to contemplate the magnitude
ut the Taxation with which the Country was bur.
thened, in consequence of which the rich were
obliged. tooetreoch their superfluities, and. the Coen.
try was injurea, as the poor. thereby lost the em.
pot:2;117ot which they would have in providing
It should be tecolleded, that they had came
at last to tax the subsistence of the poor, after
having exhausted all the other sources of Taxation.
They were told that these severe burthens were
necessary, and he did not deny that that might
be so ; but they were peculiarly called on in such
a case to shew, ,before they came to be colleft-
ed, that the Administration of the . Revenues of
the, Country was purely and fairly condufted, and
that there was still coolish of vigour and virtue
in Parliament to make an example of 'public de.
Unguents. The. Eon.. Member concluded with
reading. his Resolutions, thirteen in numGer. The
.first was merely a .repetitien of the ResolutiOri of
the Committee of the whole House on the 18th of
June, 173 z, approving of the condud of the Corn.
missioneroaf Accounts, and adopting their sugges.
tion respecting the
,grant of a permanent salary to the
Pay.master of the Army and the Treasurer of the
Navy, in lieu of all fees and perquisites ; the re-
maining Resolutions were founded on the loth Re.
port, corresponding in substance with the charges
opened in his speech ; the two last, which went to
charge upon Lord Melville a participation with
Mr. Trotter, the Hon. Member declared his in.
tension not to press on the House that night.
On the question being put on the first Resolution,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
could not Wit admit, that the Hitt. Member had,
during the former,part of his speech, adhered striElly
to the observance of that moderation and temper
which he had promised at the outset. Towards the
end, however, of his speech, he had departed altoge.'
ther from the tone in which he had begun it ; and in
the Address, with which he concluded, to the House,
appeated to endeavour,' by an appeal, to the passions
on topics not appliCable to the subjed in discussion)
to excite an undue imoressien favourable to his'pro.
position. The lion. Member had adverted to
the, hurthens which the exigencies. of affairs had
rendered necessary, and appeared to insinuate
broadly, ,that the trans:talon, whiCh was the
objed of his MOtion, had been the means not only
of augmenting those burthens, hut a considerable
aggravation of them. It was important to have
this matter 'investigated, as, if the fad were so
that the public burthens had been aggravated to any
extent by. the miecundu# or rualversation of any
perso.n or persons in office,•there was no man, in the
House would deny that such.praatces were a fit
objet of accusation in that House. But that ap.
peal. to the feelings of Gentlemen, and with refer-
ence to irrelevant topics, was by no means calcu-
lated to promote a just and impartial decision
on the merits of the . case, according to any
,principle of 'equity or fairness. Whatever opi-
nion might be entertained tespeaing any part of
Idle materials contained in the 'Report, it.was
dent that it did not cootain, a single allegation of
any ridichiet liaving arisen to the. Public, or of any
loss haiing been adually sustained---(A loud iymul•
hover) of " Hear hear from the Opposition.)
This indecent attempt to prevent the ,freedom of
speech by clamour was little suited to the dignity and
solemnity of their proceedings, and he looked upon
it as no good omen that the moderation professed
by the lion. Member in the discussion had been
departed from, if those Gentlemen who approved, of
his 'arguments should interrupt those who' might
undertake to reply. to them. He was, one that would'
nut be interrupted by clamour; and he would repeat
it, that such an appeal to the passions was little
consistent with the professions of temper and
moderation with which the Honourable Mem-
ber had set out. This would be the more evi.
.dent, 'when it was recolleded also With what in.
duster similar Misrepresentations had been pro.
pagated „without doors, and on subje.tts the most
dangerous and inflammatory, for the purpOse of rail.'
ing a prejudice in the public mind. It had been re-
presented abroad, 'though not charged to the same
extent by the Hon. Member, that the pay of the
Seamen had been delayed in the Navy Pay Office.
.(A try of No, No, from theOpposition.)So far from
such a circumstance having taken place, he had the
satisfadion to state, that that gallant and ruerito-
tins
,class of men had not suffered the *delay of a
single day in the discharge of any of their demand..
But he had not only to complain of the lian.Gentle.
man having deserted his moderation in the latter
part of his speech, bet also of the manner in which
he. had represented the transaction and stated his
charge. The Hon. Member load told; the House
that the Noble Lord, and the others implicated
in his charge, bad had an Opportunity of being
tried, and informed their, also of the manner in
which this trial was condtined.
,Qudstibits had
been put to them, and they might have answer.
id, They undoubtedly had the opportunity of
answering to such and such questions ; but what-
ever might be the eharader of such en in.
terrogation, it , was not a trial. What trial
was there in which the party accused was not made
acquainted, with the change against him, had
not an opportunity, of hearing the evidence to the
charge, and of cross-examining :that evidence ;
as also of adducing evidence in .his favour ?
But in a trial a man was not .bound to cri.
inmate himself, and, in -this case that was the 'only
feature, whilst every other charader of a trial was
absent. The partici had no knowledge of the charge
against them,, could nut confront nor cross-examine
the witnesses, nor ware allowed to call evidence in
their defence, but were examined to criminate
themselves by their evidence. He stated, this
only toe the purpose of having an opportimity
of adding, that it WWi illlr)SSlsie for the -111 ,nse
