ienssa to correspond with that number, and •
that it war
barged that the Navy Board did not obey those instrnc-
ions; lie Sir Ilayrn Martha reieiked to the Ad
oiralty letters, in which the reports of the
Navy Board as to as to the obeying of thus.
orders were highly approied of. Ke, to the charge against
the Navy Roatd, that no reduction in the estimates hag
been made, he had r.ll order signed by a Lord of the Ad-
miralty, showing, that in 1829. the wages of the men
amounted' 480,0001-, and in the following year 445 000/..
therefore there was a reduction of 35,000/. Therefore.
it was extraordinary that every charge made by
the Right
Hon. Baronet against the Navy Board was erroneous.
The Hon. Bartonet (Sir B. Martin) proceeded to detail
other items in which reductions had been made, to show
that instead of 250 men discharged, as stated by the Right
Hon. Barobet, it amounted to 657, and including inferior
officers the total number discharged would be 720 men.
Therefore the Right Horn Baronet in all his points to
prove the disobedience of the Navy Board failed, and the
documents he had referred to contradicted hint. Then
as to the embrzz'etnent of five tons of copper, it was extra-
ordinary that of the charger of nenlect agaii et the Navy
Board, the paltry embehiement of five tons of copper
should he :::-rought forward. He investigated that circum-
stance, the particulars of which he explained, and stated
that he first heard of it by a letter from Birmingham,
asking if it was illegal to purchase copper bearing
the King's mark. His answer was sent by a Bow-
street officer, and upon inquiry he found the embezzle
ment could not be discovered owing to the system adopted
by the Navy Board. Then as to the charge of making
imprudent contracts, why that charge should he brought.
against the Navy Board when all the contracts were made
with the approbation of the Admiralty. The Right Hon.
Baronet did not entirely rely upon his own judg-
ment, but said he had the authority:. of Mr. Barrow,
that the Admiralty could undertake the management
of all the business of the subordinate boards, besidc that of
its own. Mr. Barrow, in his evidence before the Finance
Committee said that he did not know how the Admiralty
Officers could be reduced, for they were all fully
worked, and then there were several Lords of the
Admiralty—now there was but one, was it likely he could
undertake the duties of the Admiralty and the su-
bordinate offices ? It was extraordinary that at
this inernent the French formerly endeavoured to do
what the Admiralty were now attempting to do, to have
the whole Admiralty, Nay, and Victualling Boards untie.
one head but Charles X.visit,d England, he war so struck
with the then English system, that he instantly adopted it
