soner Furlong, and never knew any thing of him
but honesty ; he never came to witness to sea
tobacco. Prort!ctition dosed.
Mr. M.'Nku.Y.—My Lord, we shall not enter
into any defence. Mr. Furlong's presence is suf-
ficient as to his character—his appearance is
abundmit proof -of his reputation.
His Lordship did not see one particle of evi-
dence to criminate the prisoners.
The Jury, in one minute, acquitted the prison-
ers, to the manifest satisfaction of_ a very crowded

Court.
,Jiones Ferris, the approver, was then indicted
for stealing 301bs. weight of tobacco, the pro-
perty of Thomas Condell. He pleaded guilty, and
while the Clerk of the Crown put the usual clues.-
don to the priAoner, " What have you to say why
sentence of death and execution shall not be pro-
nounced against you?" the fellow pleaded the
benefit of the'stattitr, and lau%lted in his face.

The SBLid-i'CriI.474ITTEB appointed Minquire in-
to and state the INCOME and EXPENDITURE of
,* the United'Kingdom; for the year endrd the sth
3anuaty,T3ls ; an'd also to consider and state
'the prohlble 'lnrorne and: Expenditure, (so far
as the same can now he estimated), for he year
-ending nth January, 1320, and to report
`the same, togethcr with their observations.
thereupon, from time to titre, to the House;
and also to cou-cider what further measures may
"be adopted for the relief of the country from
'toy part of the said Expenditure, without de-'
piment to the poidic interest :
Deeming no object more conducive to a gene-
ral syAyttr- of economy, than efficient and speedy
rx..;rnination of ail accounts rclating to the C3y
peniiitore of pohlic money, judge it expedient to
turn the attention of the, House, before the pre-
rent Session close, to the actual state of the de-
partment itr which this great business is trans-
acted, and to the progress made in the auditing of
tht• accounts now under examintit
The list of 'officers and departments whose ac-

counts have been usually delivered to the Co-
mmissioners for atriiting the public, eceounts, will
hie found in. the Finance Papers for the year end-
ing- sth January last,- in page 190 ; and by refer-'
ring !o the Fifth Report of the Committee qn
Public Expenditure (second part, printed in 1810),
a statement of the manner in which all ,the other
pryt.cipal public accounts are examined and pass-.
ed, is contained, together with many important
and judiciuus observations upon this whole mat-
ter; and your Committee cannot but regret that
fa the length of time which was elapsed since the
presenting of that Report, no sufficient measures
have yet been taken to remedy the delays, both
iu the passing of the publiC accounts through the

Audit Office, and relieving the accounts from the
tedious and unnecessary forms still observed, the
-inefficacy and disadvantages of which were in that
Report explicitly detailed. Yipir Committee are
Of opinion, that the notice of the House cannot
be too frequently-recalled to this important sub-
ject, until the object of a satisfactory and speedy
Audit shall have been effected..
Your Committee find, however, that the Board
of. Treasury haye never 'lost
.sight of the neces:
city of effecting some material change in the mx-
iiting system. A Treasury Minute, dated Ist riie
bruary, 1811, hai been- laid before them, by which
it appears that steps were then taken to put this
matter into a train of investigation, and reference
was made to different public offices connected with
the examination of accounts.
The first 'measure which appears to have beeri
odopted in consequence, was by a bill brought
into Parliament in 1813, which reeeivell the royal
assent "in the same Session (23 Ge0.,111. c. 150,)
enahliteg the Crown to nominAe one of the-Com-
Pjissiooers for auditing the Public AcOounts to be
Auditor•Gener4l of Accounts of -'the Public Ex-
peodit ate in Spain and Portugal ; and two par-
ticular caiotes of Belay and ineouveuience in mak-
ing no and passing of Public Accounts were tab-
hy anthors:ng the Commissioners of
Public Accounts to allowarticles of discharge with-
Out wilt ten vouchers; under certain regulatioes,
and to disPense with receipts on stamps in certain
cases ; and the Treasury Were also empowered to
make new arrangements for the cond ict and dis-
nibution of tire business of the Audit Office. In
,cOnseqaence of this Act, a Treasury WarraPt.was
issued in August 1813, by which certain new res
gadatiims acid arrangements were made tor the
c,Onduet of business iu that office. These new re-
gulations have unfortunately- by no means had
complete effect,, as the labours of the Auditors, so
far to out gainioggroutid.tipon the accounts, and
gradually subduing the arrear, are left every year
further behind, without any reasonable pro-
spect of ever coming up to, or.keeping pace with
the current Accounts.
The transfer es one branch of (his Office from
the Adelithi to Whitehall-place has set the two
*Janis of Cen»missioners at a distance from each
other, somewhat More inconvenient than before.
ltoom might have been found within Somerset
House for its reception, end your Committee re-
commend that some of the private official houses,
;,:s they may become vacant, should be allotted to
thii purpose, as no adequate public benefit can
niise from the residence of Commissioners ..Of the
Navy,, or other officers of that description, in
houses provided at the. publia expeoce iris a
bad way of paying a part of their salary, seldom,
eligible., to the officers receiving it, and always
more expensive to ,the public than an equivalent
for the annual rent.
Another mode which suggests itself to your
otamittee, might be by dip removal of some one
office not'necessit HT/connected with others, from
Somerset. [louse to th6:.situation at present oc-
cupied by the two Commissioners at Whitehall-
place.
A•difference of opinion as to the mode of con-
ductiug bositiess and 'holding Boards, has taken
place.,between the 'Chairman of the Commis-
sioners, and the two Cotnipissiooers at IVhitehall-
place ; and the whole'of the information your
Committees hove' rt eek'ed respecting the Conduct_
of the, business of this Office, demonstrates ins
their opinion the necessity of -a most exact and
comprehensive' reVisiOn and reform "of the, whole
system. - _ .

An account relating to' the disbursement of
puni;e woney differs in no other respects, than
occasionally in its magnitude, trout an account
between individuals; the mote of keeping it
ought to be the same ; the same sort of vouchers
are required for the sums expended ; similar
modes of investigating the truth must be rcsorte(
to, wherever diffrrcnces or difEultiex occur ; no;
it reasonably be imagined, that in the multi-
plied and complicated transactions between the
mercantile and commercial men in this country,
coy mode of examining and passing accounts,
Which is bettet or more secti-g.e than that which is
esrabtished by universal usage, can have escaped
their indus'ry and aente.•ess.
When an account is brought to a termination
sati4tactury to both parties, the accountant ought

not to be kept tvlillog for los tittal discharge Or
quietus. It.this practice be retained for'the.4mr-
tiose of any fees or emoluments, it is an abuse re-
quiring a remedy. Nor can your Committee ap-
prove of the Practice of translating accounts into
a barbarous jargonv and substituting for the re-
ceived Arabic figures an antiquated method of.no-
tation in-comprehensible to all others, and not
always intelligible even to the officers of the de-
partmenti within which this official language is
exclusively manueactured.
It is proper to remark, that by an Act of 54
Geo. 111. c. 93,. the Auditor General of . the ac-
counts in Spain was empowered to ereatuinc ac-
counts of public expenditure in France, and that
by another Act in the same Session, 54 Geo. 111.
c. 134, three other Commissioners were appointed
for five years, and empowered to examine all ac-
counts of the receipt and expenditure of the colo-
nial revennes in the Islands of Ceylon, Mauritius,
Malta, Trinidad, and the Cape (?I. Good Hope.
It is further to he observed, as a mark of due
attentiou to theimmedialte Audit of Aeconots, that
Upon the inst renewal of the French tear, a jedi-
Mous and economical check was imposed upon the
Military Expenditure in the campaign which so
gloriously terminated that great contest ; for it
appears, that in the spring of 1815 it was deemed
proper to appoint an officer of the rank of a
Comptroller of Army Accounts to superintend
and controld the Expenditure of the army tinder
the command of his Grace the °Duke of AVelling-
ton, then in the Netherlands ; the copy of the
Patent and of the lostroctions, hetewitir sent,
fully show the object and intention of that ap-
001nm-tent ; and the most itliportant breefit's were
derived-lo the: Public trout the constant ,ontroal
exercised by ghat officer over the Expenditure
The'accoouts of the period from the 25th May,
1815, to the 2441 a June, 1316, have been__ almost
completely examined by this officer ; they are, it
is true, not yet in a stag lobe brought to decla-
ration, as many queries onon detached points ale
yet unanswered, from the absence of officers at
distant stations, but they are in such a state that
the Public are not likely to experience any loss
from the further delay, nor are individuals likely
to sustain aoY inconvenience.-

From the 24th June 1816, the Expenditure of
the Army in France was very much reduced, in
consequence of the seppiies for the Army being
almost, entirely :supplied by the French Govern-
ment, and the Expenditure, was reduced to little
. more than the- regular pay and contingencies of
the service ; the accounts front this period to the
24th June 1817 were minutely inspected by the
Comptroller of Army Accounts, and were brought
to England ac that period, and delivered into the
Office of the Commissioners of Audit, and from
this time it was not thought necessary to have an
officer of the rank of Comptroller with the Army.
No other general instructions were given to the
COmptroller titan thOse now laid before the Com-
mittee ; but ha was' in constant correspondence
with the Treasury, and submitted to them all
eases of, doubt or difficulty ; upon which he me-
cei‘cd special instructions.
The failure of the several attempts of the Le-
gislature, and of the late regulation made by the
Commissioners of. his Mijesty's Treasury, to rec-
tify all these inconveniences and deficier.eies,
mike your CoMmittee hesitate (especially at this
late period of the Session, which precludes so
extensive an investigation as this difficult and
complicated subject would require) as to recom-
mending any specific mode of remedy, wiCtell they
Can venture to rely upon, as being applicable to
every part of thisextensive subject.
The Commissioners at Whitehall-place Com-
plain that the number of clerks under `their
spectors are inadequate to the duty, stating tbat
an inspector can constantly ,keep employed under
his own eye five or six clerks, but not more : the
Conituissionirs at Somerset House, however, do
out consider that fixed number to be necessary,
inn do they conform to it, liaing placed a greater
;proportion of cletki under some of their in-
spectors.
It is further alleged brthe Commissioners in
Whitehall-place, that for the purpose of forming
what is called a Foreign Department, sonic of their
most able and' efficient officers were witbdiewu
from them and transferred to Somerset-place,
notwithstanding whieb„,,Foreign Sc.upts and
those of a very intricate kind continue t'o be al-
lotted to them us before.-
It has been usual for the Lords of the Treasury
to appoint young persons as clerks in the Audit
tlhose education has not always furnished
them with some of those quaLiAcations which are
peculiarly requisite for the discharge of those
dynes into' which they are to be. initiated ; but
;they are subjected to a previous state of prohat
and there are not waiving in.tances where Some
who have been found incompetent have been. dis-
missed.

- Should any. increae of the establishment be-
come expedient, your Committee suggest- that it
would be proper to employ some of those persons
whose services were discontinued in other depart-
ments upon the conclusion of the war, and who
may he judged competent to the bk-rsiness, especi-
ally such of them as now receive retired pensions
or ctbmpensations.: the Public has undoubtedly
right to cail for the services of all soch persons in
aoy situations of w hich they may' he capable, or
to withdraw their allowances it theyito not choose
to re-enter into the public service. •
Your Committee understand front the,evidenee
of Mr. Harrison, and also from one of their own
ntembers, the Chancellor of the Exchequer,, that
this subject bas.been for sonic time under the
consideration of his NiaFsty's Government, and
that greater progress %vonld: have already;_been
made in it, if some unforeseen circumstances had
not intervened ; it therefore only becomes neces-
sary at this period of the Session to•recolornenti,
is t-be first place, that no further time may be lost
by the Executive Government in, pursuing this in-
quiry, and investigating the defects radically anti
thinoughly, so as to effect by regulation what-
eer may be done by regulation; and to be pre-
pat ed at the opening of the next Session to sub-•
wit to the consideration of Parliament such parts
of any new system as may require the.assistance
of the Legislature towards the better conducting
of this must important work.

THE QUEENSBERRY CASE.
\‘'VerntitHt.t. stated, this was a Petition pre-
sented by two of the late Duke of Queensberry's
lessees in behalf of themselves and others. They
felt it their indispensible duty to apply to the
Court on account of the decision which the House
of Lords had recently come to in the Queensberry
case, by which certain leases were declared to he
not valid. There were funds, in Court to indent-
nify the lessees tor 'any damage which they might
sustain. He had, therefore, to request that a
Commission might he appointed to ascertain what
compensation was due to them, which would be

Mr. HART declared ht; was at a losS to answer
the petition, as he could not understand what it
aimed at. If it urayed_that one person might sue
for the yeliole, then no'application to the Court
tvas necessary, as that could be done without its
interference. He did not imagine, howeVer, that
there was any jurisdiction in the Court to war-
rant its i,suiug the curnmis;ion ; hitt even soppos-
-4.; it bad, then by granting this repot tire Court
was doing more than the petition kSked tor. The
ot-,jeet of the prayer seemed to be, rhlt the parties

occur. Ile could view the whole in •110- other
light than an attempt to obt,sht,the authority of

'of a most extraordinary nature, and one to %dile')
it •wai impossible to look without feelings of the
greatest indignation. Its prayer si as quite
finite, and it was unnecessarily. lone, matter of the
most distant relation to it being introd,ced into it
to make it of greater length. The petitioners'were
two- persons of the name of Balser and Anderson,
and they described themselves as applying in be-
half of all the lessves. Ott what principle they
did so, he was at a loss to know, or ott what au-
thority they could say they were acting for the
others,, Surely nothing but a Power of Attorney
could enable them to do so. There was no cre-
ditor here who could act for the rest, for till the
dedsiOn'of the Scot t iSO Colin spa known respect-
ing the leases, there court not be pos'sibly any'
damages due. lint the prayer went further, anti
asked for leave to institute an action, or file a hill
for damages which may becOme due. Surely thii
.was calling on the Conk to 'do what it never did,
and he was cot:fident never would (loin such eases.
Mr, WeruiteLt.: rvplied. •

''Tie [Ann C.HANeRLLO'R observed, that as.the
