he )tad the honour to belong. One instance then
occurred to him, of a mistake in the Appendix to
-2tn Account, though the Account itself was, he
should contend, substantially Correa ; the Qfficer
by whom that return was made, was independent
of the Treasury of Ireland, and therefore he wished
the House always to bear in mind that the system
of Officers was pot the same in Ireland as, it was in
this Country.
Mr. FOSTER said, the'Right Hon. Gentleman
had adduced a strong reason ibr -his (Mr. FosTEß's)
intended Motion. • •
Mr. CORRY 'said, an Officer was at :the &or:
with some Accounts, ,some of which he believed
were what the Right 'Honourable Gentleman had'
alluded to.
Mr. 'FOSTER said, he would 'wait till the:
Officer had presented those. Accounts.
Mr. WICKHAM said-, he had returned some of
the ACcounts to Ireland, in -consequence of their
being erroneous.
MA. • Crofton from the Treasury of Ireland
was then called in, and presented an'account' of the
Salary and Emoluments of the Lord High Chan-
cellor of Ireland, an Account of Treasury Bills,
and an Account of the Charge of Yeomanry Corps,
together with other Accounts, which were ordered
-to lie on the Table, except that relative. to the
Salary and Emoluments of -the Lord High Chan-
cellor of Ireland, which was ordered to be referred
to the Committee appointed to' consider of aug-
menting the same. "
Mr. FOSTER, then said, as he found the Ae-
c mnts that had just been presented, did not include
all those which he ha before alluded 'to, he should
move•what he before intended, -'r That the prOper
Officers should he called upon co m:Ace immediate
returns to the Orders of the House,- reSpetfling those
Accounts which had not yet been presented."
Mr. CORRY seconded the Motian ; but ob-
served, that he wished to be understood, as not
concurring in any charge of neglect against the
ficers.

The Motion was agreed tn.
Mr. FOSTER-then called-the attention of the
House to an Order for an Account specifying the
authority under which the sum of 314,000% had
been raised and paid into the Irish Treasury,. how.
it had been raised, and how- applied. To this on.
der a return had been madeoreferring for the an,
thority to the 25th Se Lion of the 41st Georgejth
Upon referring to this, however, it' would be found;
that no more than 2,000,0001. was authorised to be
raised for the Service of Great Britain anti Ireland,
the whole of which, had been applied to- the Service
of Great Britain: this, therefore, could give .no
authority for raising an additional 300,0001. for
the service of Ireland. " With respeeitci the :manner
in which it had been raised, the return 'referred to
an aid for, the Service Of Ireland, which never ex-
isted, and as to the application of it,' not a syllable
was said. He therefore inlayed, " that the proper
Officer should be called upon to make a further re.
turn to the Order of the loth of -May, 'relative to
the above Account."

. .
Mr: CORRY said,. he was really concerned and
ashamed of this puny warfare of Accounts relating
to Ireland. The Right Hon. Gentleman knew as'
well as any body that no further return could be
made. The Right Hon. Gentleman knew, (if he
knew any thing about the matter), that the money
that was raised for covering that part of the Vote
of Credit which was to be expended in-Ireland, was
raised with the other Supplies of the year;' there
were• many services to be provided for, and they
all went together to form one Consolidated Fund.
The Right 'Lion. Gentleman could nor pretend
noranee of that -fart, and therefore. he must be
, aware that no further return could be made to this
Order. He would take no advantage of the:Right
Hon. Gentleman 'not 'giving any' notice of these
IVldtions,. though -they were usually given'in such
cases ; he wished merely to state, that as far as he'
• could judge upon this subjea, the return to this
• Order could not beamended, and therefore he should
oppoSe• the Right Hon. Gentleman's Motion..
:FOSTER said, this was by no means a
puny war of Accounts, but a subje6t of greet
portance. Parliament should take care- thatno Mi-
nister raised -moneY-contrary toy the-sConstiturion.
The Bill respetaing the V6te of Credit hatt-applied
it to certain Specific purposes, 'but the Officer who
made the return
.had referred to that Bill as the
authority for raising a sum which could not be in:
eluded in it.• The subje& was of irnportance'to this
Country, as each" part of the United Empire must
pay its proportion of the sum" thus raised.

The House then divided,
