EXCIIEQUER, Mr. F. I.2=A; is, and Mt. Pi:0711E110F,
addressed the House.
On our re-adinisFion to the gallery w•e found the
SPEAKER putting the question, " that the report be
printed."

Colonel DAVIES took this opportunity to state,
delteeimrilyinperind x

w
under the consideration of the House—he
as-de-
to h mined, hn

it again under the notice of the House.
Mr. F. PALMER expressed his satisfaction
hearing the pledge given by his Hon. Friend to re-
sume the F bject of these charges next Session.
Sir...l. YORKE, without making any more than
a passing allusion to what here might he called in
architectural terms whitewashing, must say, that
the party arraigned had figured away in a variety of
capacitie,s. In the language of holy grit, it appear-
ed he lead been the servant of God and Mammon,
and trimming his course with dexterity, he had
cleared the Woods and Forests without falling foul
of the Treasury. What most surprised him was,
that he had procured the warrant alluded to in this
instance to be backed by the Lords of the Treasury.
There had been enough developed in the transac-
tions between Mr. Nash and his nominee, Mr. Ed-
wards, to induce him to look on Mr. Nash as a
suspicious character. He would, however, candidly
confess, he exculpated him from all imputation of
fraud, although it appeared he was excessively
anxious to amass a fortune for his posterity. He
also had the prudence to secure the support of his
employers throughout. The affair of the reletting
of the ground for the University Club, by Mr. Nash,
for 3941., which he had bargained for and procured
for 143/. from the Commissioners, was, amongst
others, a reason with him for inferring that Mr.
Nash was the sound-minded, right-headed, well-
regulated public officer which the affairs of this great
empire demanded in the situation of civil archi-
teet to his Majesty. He was certainly a great
speculator, for kis extreme age (being, as he
was informed, nearly eighty years old) had not
prevented Win placing a great stake on the event of
this speculation, although hastening rapidly to that
bourne from whence no traveller returns: Indeed,
those who had embarked in an undertaking which,
it appeared, was to require nearly a million and a
half of money ere executed. felt disposed to hesitate
and tremble for the result, should they be unable to
cover this vast space with houses; when Mr. Nash
boldly stepped forward and said—" You, Mr. Ed-
wards, and you the Canal Company, with my Lord
Macclesfield at your head, don't be solicitous for the
result; for lest you should think I have brought
you into a scrape, abandon the design for yourselves
and I will undertake to cover the whole space with
houses myself."

Here Mr. HUME rose to order. He obsen'ed
it was rather unfair of his Hon. and Gallant Friend
to enter into the minutia of these transactions now,
as it had been agreed by both parties in the House
that they would wait for the production of the evi-
dence, and the printing of the report, before they
made up their minds on the subject.
Sir JOSEPH YORKE assented to adopt tho
course proposed by his Hon. Friend, and expressed
his determination to await further and more perfect
nformat ion.

Mr. JOHN WOOD was satisfied there had beer,
no ground to accuse Mr. Nash of fraud, and he had
tiaerefore agreed with the majority on the drawing
up of the report.
Mr. PROTHEROE acknowledged he had voted
with the majority, through a conviction that ►►o
fraud could be imputed to Mr. Nash.
Mr. FRANKLAND LEWIS agreed with his
Hon. Friend in opinion as to the propriety of the
course which the House had resolved to adopt us
most likely to do substantial justice between the
parties.—The Report was then ordered to be
printed.
