REPORT ON PUBLIC EXPENDITURE.
The 2d part of the Fifth Report of the Committee
upon the Public Expenditure of the United Kingdom,
and also the 6th, 7th, Bth, and 9th, Reports, have
been printed. They complete the whole of the Re-
ports on this subject, ordered to be printed in the late
Session. The Fifth Report concludes with the fol-
lowing wholesome and necessary advice:
" Your Committee cannot conclude their Report
without drawing the attention of the House, in a
more especial manner, to the importance of the sub-
ject here treated of. Economy, at all times necessary
to the welfare of a State, cannot, in the present cir-
cumstances of the country, be too highly estimated;
but must be considered to increase in its consequence
in proportion to the growing exigencies and expences
of the nation. At no pet iod in the annals of the his-
tory of this country, has Parliament, in its legislative
capacity, and as Guardian of the Public Purse, more
imperiously been called upon to institute every prac-
ticable check against the mismanagement and misap-
plication of the public money, than at this time ; and,
considering the immensely accumulated, and still in-
creasing, amount of the public debt, k becomes (as
your Committee with deference submit) a duty in-
cumbent upon the House of Commons to take this
subject under their most serious deliberation, that by
the adoption of legislative measures, the object of
more effectually husbanding the resources, and dimi-
nishing the expences of the nation, may, by every
practical means, be accomplished ; great retrench-
ments, whenever they can be effected without detri-
ment, ought unquestionably to be made. But al.
though such objects may, from their magnitude, par-
ticularly attract public attention, the security of the
State more immediately depends upon the habit of eco-
nomy practically enforced in die various departments
of the receipt and expenditure of the public money.
Exclusive of the benefit, in an economical point of
view,to be derived from a regular, promptand efficient
1 system,for the examination and audit of the Public Ac-
counts, very considerable advantage would result from
the regularity which a well-arranged plan cf this de-
scription would necessarily introduce into the trans-
action and conduct •f official business, beyond what
can be expected from arty other species of inquiry or
internal regulation of office; public delinquency would
become less frequent, and those objectiokt and hard-
ships arising from a tardy settlement of their accounts,
so grievously felt and complained of by almost every
class ef accountants, and which your Committee have
reason to believe hare created a strong indisposition
on the part of many persons of scrupulous integrity
to become public accountants, would be in a material
degree diminished, if not entirely removed."
The Sixth Repor4 relates to the collection of taxes
in Scotland. It sets out with stating, that the whole
amount of property tax collected and paid into the
Exchequer in Scotland, for the year ending the sth of
January, 1809, is stated to be only 8916,7(X) net, and
£32.1,617 gross. In consequence of this apparent de-
ficiency, the Committee inquired into the collection
of this tax, and it became necessary to send for a state
of the arrears of the Assessed Taxes and Property-tax
in Scotland. Then follows a copy of the Return,
with observations of the Committee upon it, in which
the tardy mode of delivering the assessments is as-
signed as a principal cause of the deficiency ; and the
Committee recommend that means may be taken for
the more speedy collection of the revenue in that part
of the United Kingdom ; and that effectual means
ought to be taken for ascertaining the true value of
its landed property.
The Seventh Report relates to public buildings.
civil and military.
The Eighth Report relates to the Linen Board of
Ireland, in which it points out several irregularities ;
among which, it complains, " that almo..t one-third
part of the revenues entrusted to the care of this
Board, amounting between January 1808 and 1810,
to a sum of 4624164, has been expendesl in the depart-
ment of the architect; and of this sum, X 1.727 in
painting, plastering, and papering, at the Linen
Hall, and the Officers' Houses :" and there appear
further, in the 36th Report
.of the Commissioners of
impreit Accounts, other sums disbursed for furniture,
carpets, chimney and pier glasses, &c. for the house
of the Chamberlain of the Linen Hall.—The Report
concludes with stating, that the Committee are of
opinion, that the concerns entrusted to the Board are
not well administered, and that it would be advisable
to seek for the means of correction in the revival of
e2rtain wholesome provisions which accompanied the
original establishment of the Board, viz. That the
number of Trustees necessary to form a meeting
should be seven—that the meetings be monthly—that
no-building be undertaken of above £2O expence,
without a previous estimate, sanctioned by a full
Board—and that there be Sub-Committees to super-
intend the several es branch , &c.

The Ninth Report of the Committee on Public Ex-
penditure, which has just been delivered, relates to
Printing and Stationary. It appears that the charge
upon the Public for Printing in England, was in 1808
£94,174. 16s. 101 d. and in 1809, £110,347 14s. so.
in which is included Printing for the House of Lords,
amounting in 1808 to £9,595 19s. 9d. and in 1809 to
£10,461. 15s. 2d. and for the House of Commons
Votes, Journals, and Miscellaneous Papers and Acts
of Parliament,amounting in 1808 t0W28,131.185.11d.
and in 1809 to £40,866. 12s. Bd.—The expence of
Printing in Ireland, in 1809, was £55,797.105. 10id.
and in Scotland, in 1808, 13,350. 10s. 30. and in
1809, £3,475. Os. sd.—The charge of the Stationary
Office in 1808 was £64,478, and the expence of
stationary in Ireland, in 1809, was £33,080. 2s. 4{l.
The Committee mention several instances in which
the expence under these heads may be in some de-
gree lessened ; and, with a view to the regulation of
this branch of expenditure, they propose that it should
be placed in England and Scotland under the special
superintendance of one of the Principal Officers of the
Treasury, who should examine the bills for printing,
and stationary, for the purpose of ascertaining the
suitableness of the articles applied, and the fairness of
• the charges ; and that a similar superintendance re-
specting printing and stationary in Ireland should be
committed to some Officer of the Irish Exchequer.

LEWIS, Au o. St—CIVIL SIDI.

The Lotto CHIEF BARON went into Conrt at eight
o'clock this morning, but on the remaining causes
'being called on, the witnesses who had left the town
on Saturday night were in general not returned, the
consequence was that the causes were struck out of
the paper: And two Special Jury cases on ere tried,
which finished the business of this place.
SMITH V. &SMUDGE.
This was an action of trover to recover the vahte
of two trees. The question in dispute was, whether'
the trees had grown on the soil of the plaintiff, who
was proprietor of a farm called Lower Okehurst, in
the parish of Loxwood ; or whether the place was a
part of the waste of the defendant's manor?
For the plaintiff a number of old witnesses were
called, who proved, that for sixty years past, the
proprietors of Okehurst Farm had exclusively used
the lane where the trees grew, and that they had
constantly excluded the cattle of all other persons as
trespassers.
The Learned Judge stopped the plaintiff, and call-
ed upon Mr. Gal-row, as Counsel for the defendant,
to state what answer he was about to give to this
evidence.

Mr. GARROW observed, the weather was very hot,
and he would not now detain his Lordship. He would
give the answer at the next Spring Assizes.—Verdict
for the plaintiff.
