THr ACCOV4 AA W T

The duties of this Officer are of much inanrirtanee,'
as on their uniform and cortat execution, depend, I,
in great meaftire, the regulaiity and gt oil order of
the whale fyflem ; how far there duties, dutin; the
late Barrack•Mafler General's time, have bccn pianc•
tnally executed, may be in Come meafure collated
from our Virg Report, and we 'hall probably have
occafion again to adrett to the (tibial. With the aid
of his Affittant, and Clerks, he ieccir.Ys and examines
all accounts and votichet s, except thole of the buil.
derr, which are examined and certified by the At.
cliitat, and the principal Affittant Barrack•Maller
General for the infpeetion if Barracks; he &rats
the correfpondence relating to all money matter:,
prepares eflimates for Govonmenr, and arranges the
genial ace tunts of receipt and expenditure.
A general account is Ilat:d to he made up in the
office annually, of all musics received and expended,
under their refpative heads of ferrite : but no ge
neral annual account of the barrack expenditure, f.O
the examinat itsn of any public office, has been made
up fine" the 24111 December, 1179 i ; and the princi-
pal reafon Aligned by ih: Accountant for this nmij
titm, is, that the Barrack Mailer General did not
know by what office his accounts were to be exa-
mined. The gem ral accounts, to 24th .I)?cember,
11'95, are thofe noticed in our First Iteprut, and
stisich are nuw at the War Office for examinvti n.

money. Bills drawn no the Barrack Maker General,
amounting to 6 or 703 in a twooh, and of wfich 50
or Go are fometimes pre.cnozd for acceptance in a

Since the appointment or the prefent Barrack
Nialler General, Mr. Stanbank, the Accountant, and
A proportion of Clerks, with the eldcft Architeft of
the Department, have been let apart, folely to ar.
range the arrears of the lase Barrack !starter General's
accounts, a duty which (if not interrupted by the
more fummary pr Iceeding fuggefled by us in our
tiril report) is likely so occupy them three if not four
year.; arid to -execute the current bal.-ids of the
office, the late Affidant Accountant has been re
cenily appointed Accountant under the prefent Bar-
rack Mailer General. Exertion, we are informed,
is now tiled in the Accountant's ht inch, to meet the
blifinefs of the Department, and t,-) ke, p the- prefent
Barrack Mailer Gene, al's accounts f.om falling into
:wear; and, from what has been rri:orted to us,
there appears a well grounded hope, that this &Ara-
ble objeet will be accomplithed
