3„tion would be an innovation of the Constitution.
shis was a doctrine never very boldly brought for.
and Gentlemen in inferior departments bad ge-
crally been selected to make the assertion. F r 44;()
elm these inquiries had been\exercised by the House;
I,J in 1780 a majority had declared. that it had a
1(11 to examine into the abuses of the Civil List, as
4.11 as into all other departments. The House should
ive greater powers to the present Committee, in or-
a to render their labours more effectual than on for.
ler occasions. Noce of the articles removed had
ecn accounted for. and the House were justified in
reclining that there had been an abuse. The Corn-
mace should therefore be enabled to examine persons

Lord CASTLE RE AGH explained.
Mr. ROSE contended that no precedent could be
'und fur granting the motion. la all former appli-
ations respecting the Civil List, accounts had been
ucnished, but in such a way as to throw no light
diatever on the subject—(Hear. hear!) At present
ery minute details had been given. and every one
tint looked at them might judge of the state of the
:ivil List without examining witnesses viva voce.
Mr. COURTENAY opposed the motion.
Mr. PETER MOORE supported the motion,
midst cries of question.
Mr. LONG said, that there would dot have been
,sty excess, it the one hundred thousand pounds had
.een appropriated in the manner intended. As to
be furniture, part of it had been sent to Cumberland.
Lodge, and the remainder was reserved for future
lurposes. The Right Honourable Gentleman had
wt made out a sufficient case; and if the House were
o consent to his motion, he would afterwards call
or other witnesses.

Mr. TIERNEY replied at considerable length.
He contended, that to refuse enquiry would only en-
.:ourage the Crown to run into debt. He desired the
House to look at the names of the present Committee,
and to say, whether they expected them to rake out
my of the abuses ? He had proved all he wanted,
and he admitted, that if he could succeed in procu-
-nig the examination of Mr. Mash, he should call for
Aber witnesses. He should proceed step by step ;

tin's Department, it was more than probable that he
