GREENWICIi-OOSPITAL.

Sir C. MoticKl7omplained, that the estates be-
longing- to Greenwich EloSpita,l, in the CountieS:
of Cumberland, Northumberland, and Ddrham,
.were tnistnana.ged, and that but a comparatively,
small portion of their revenues .Went to the sup-.
p•at of the Hospital. lie was understood to par-,
ticolarise the estate of Deriventwater, on which
54,0001. had been spent in five•year,S, in repairingi
and rehnilding farin-houses, whilst the increasel
in the net receipts .was only 1,19G1.. The amount;
of the gr.ess receipts for the last eight years was

30,701. had been speut I)lkottilig
timber, and the prod-ace of that article amounted
only to 21,0001. !le concluded by moving for a
Comin;ttee to inquire into the causes of the diffe-
rence in the p-cross net proceeds of the Greenwich
Estates to the v,:ohhttes of _34intlicartnii. North
timberland, and' Ddrhain, and for the production!
of those papers.
Air. LONG explained, that the expellees inetttreci
hail occasioned a considerable increase in the nett-
tills of those estates. 11 s.l,oooC'had been spent
‘vithin five years, 16,000 ocreS of waste land fiat!

hvelt inclosed, and 1-0;000 acres more turned from

grass into araWe lands. The rent of the landed
,—estates, which in 1805 was 23,5001. was now
i. raked to 40,1001. This was a good return for
the expence.ineurred. If 30,0001. had been spent
in timber, 2004 acres of wood had been planted
within the. last two year's. He did not think the
Hon. Iroronet had Made out the least case, and
therefore shoold ()prise the motion.
Sir M. W. RII):LEY supported it. He compli-
,niented the Gentlemen who had the manngement
of the estate, for their integrity and competency.
Mr. ettoxeit thought the only point On which
the two Ffirn. Baronets see Med to agree was that
the estates of the Hospital should be sold. The
expectations of the Commission, appointed in
1805, had been fully justified ao to the increased
valite of the property.' He entered into a series of
details,' to spew' that the small decrease alluded
to had bean unavoidable, and 'added that there
was every reason to hope the estates would soon
be materially -increased in 'value.' • He conducted
with observing-, that the Hon; laronet..bad made
out no ease of Mismanagement and therefore he
should oppor,e. the •tuotiou. . : • '
Mr. GoaDolv supported-the motion.
Sir M. Runty' eXplained," denying that lie bad
attributed to the managers of the estate the ilight-
• •
est impropriet y of conduct. .
Sir C. Poce expressed, his opinion in favour of
the side or the eStates, fin the same groOnds its
the Itm. Mover. The other appOiutments which
the Gentlemen of the Commission , held so: fully
occupied their time, that they could not attend
'properli to the ditties this inquiry. It would
be beneficial to the country- to sell that enorniotis
estate, which only.returned 20,0001. a year. ,The
expenditure of the Hospital, which was 00,0001.
a-year io lalls, WWI now more than quintupled.
EVery effort was therefore requ:site to make hp.
the difference, and prevent the country from being
called. on for a sixpence towards it. lie< colt-
eluded with saying, that Ire .Could not agree with
his lion. Friends in the necessity of a COnniiittee,
as the papers'on the table sufficiently proved that
,the estate ought to be sold.
Sir 40surit Voting contended, that the lion.
MeMberS might as well propose the selling Of the
Hospital itself as :the estate in.qiiestion. - As a
Director himself,..he coup) assert, thattkere were
amongst them two ;or tutee very steady fellows
indeed.--“ Laughter )-11in: as the Hon. Admiral
1111E1.341d, he Saw no necessity for ,the Committee,
he (Sir .13 could not see.that there had been any
necessity for his,•speecli.:
