THE ELEVENTH WORT.

' Having undhood that, during the late war, bills
to a very confiderable amount had been iffued by the
Navy Board, for the purpofe of railing money ; and
this tranfaaion appearing to us irregular, we deemed
it a fit obey for our enquiry.' Weat the fame time
made an inveßigation, in Come degree conneaed with
the fubjea, into a pratice which had prevailed with
the Navy and Tranfport Boards, of making the bills
iffued by them at ninety days date, payable on the
eighty-ninth day from the date of the Bills, atthough
intereft for ninety days was allowed to the parties.
In the coutfe of our enquiries on thefe fubjeat, we
difcovered that finns had been advanced by the
Navy Board, by way of imprett, in purfuauce of di.
regions from the Lords Commillioners of the Trea•

fury, for the performance of Secret Na•al Serviies.
The prefent Report we 'hall confine to the cords.
&ration of there matters, in the order in which they
have been mentioned.
