SIR HOME POPHAM.

Sir A..HANtortO presented a Petition from the
Navy Board, praying the House lo order Avast laid
before it Copies of the Letters of that Board to the
Admiralty, dated 4th of 'moyi,, in vindication Of
the Commissioners
,of that BOarid from the wit-
sions cast on.them by the .I.4t,ter of Mr. Tucker,
late of that Blard, now before the House.
On the Motion, that Copies. of these Letters
of the Navy &Lad he laid
,before the
,Housei 'Mr.:
Kt trtiAtits atated, that it wouhl_ be proper favhim
to postpone his notice of Motion relative to Sir
Home Popham,- if the Letters contained any cons.
prehensive range of matter. If they contained only
a reply, to the charge Made by Mr. Tucker, of the
omission of .a large portion of time in the second
Statement of the Romney's Accounts, he was pre.
pared to go on with the Motion.
•Sir 4. iIi,I2IIOND believed the Papers now moved
for contained a complete answer to this charge, but
they involved other parts also of this extensive
subjea : he expected the Papers, which were short,
would be printed by the time the House would meet
to-morrow.

Mr. TIERNEY conceived the whole question to
be at present, whether Mr. Tucker's Report on the
subsequent corredions were well founded. It was
certainly desirable, that the charader of a gallant
Officer, tmPatient to take his share in the service of
his Country, with a reputation unstained and un.
spotted, should be brought to investigation without
delay. Ile thought the whole case ought to be re.
ferred to a Committee of the House.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER,
understood it to be the intention of the Hon. Gen.
tleman (Mr. K t NNAI RD) to move, that the business
be referred .to a Committee. In that case them was
no occasion for delay: He thought it right to state
decidedly, that there could be no understanding be.
fore the debate, as to what. the proceedings would
be which the House may think proper to adopt.—
gallant Officer who was the first objed of the
Motion may think it right to have the opportunity
of clearing his conduit before the Committee, or
before the House, previous to the appointment of
the Conintittec4 The Navy Board may think it
necessary to take steps for its own justification.—
Others also wete implicated ; but there wore points
of far greater importance involved, points es.
sentially conneaed with British justice, and the
freedom and rights of the Subje6ts. The cunsi.
&ration of how far abuses existed in departments
of the highest importance to the safety of the Coon.
try formed a material part of the subject ; and it a
Committee was to be appointed, it was. to be under..
stood that all these obOs may form a part of its
charge.
Atter some further, observations from Mr. TI R
II EY, Mr. Kt NNA Iszas...ltis_irst4o,un to
move, That the Papers be reterred to a Committee ;
that'he was far Ircirn-abandrining the Charge against
the Hon„':Offieerithough the Navy Bbard was now
so ptuch implicated,. The Capers were ordered.—
They,• were afterwards presented by Mr. W. Dm.
K c 41614, and ordered to be printed.
Severaf Accounts relai to Ballast furnished
by the Tnnity House &Ice 1783, and the Charter
of that SJciety issued by Queen Elizabeth arid
Charles the 11. were Ordero,l to be laid before the
House. •

Some further conversation followed; in which Mr.

had paid to the subjeCt, that the House would find
he.had pot brought forward the subject without ant.
ple grounds.
