to mention his name as one who derived some ad.
vantage from them. He did not desire to trouble die
House with -circumstances; relating to himself, *
he could not avoid stating the circumstances of the
case to which allusion had been made. Many ytan

therefore, in the absence of all ground on which ti
establish a Parliamentary case, consent to entertain
the Motion.
Mr. HUME contended that the House was nit
bound, to sanction the abuse of the fundi entrusiel
to his Majesty, but which the Houk hacla right to
controul. He thought that the House could trot
sanction the application of the money of the countty
from the Exchequer to the support of the four and

Mr. BROUGHAhI said, that on a former bti

by Mr. Burke, as most oppressive ; for the tat was

to impose the summit in Jamaica, and the =:1
