ELE VENTH RE PORT,
• .._
- -‘-of '3NI THE COMMITTEE ON THE PUBLIC EXPENDITURE, '
ETC. OF THE UNITED KINGDOM.
HON. G. VILLIERS, PAYMASTER OF MAINES.
--as Judging it expedient to pursue their inquiries into
the several subjects which engaged their attention
during the former Session, for the purpose of I:•ying
before the House such arther information as has
been received upon each to the close of the present
Session, they proceed to submit the result, in the or-
der of their several Reports.
Upon the subject which forms the first part of the
fifth, it appears, that the original bond given by the
lion. G. Villiers, was discovered in June, 1810, by
one of the Clerks of the Admiralty,. employed to ar-
r..ilge the whole of the marine papers, iv the midst of
one of the bundles of marine monthly returns.
Mr. Bicknell, Solicitor to tha Admiralty, produced
to your Committee the proceedings for recovering
the debt due to his Majesty on Mr. G. Villiers's ac-.
cinints, as Paymaster and Inspector of his Majesty's
Royal Marine Forces, which are printed in the Ap-
pendix.
Upon the recommendation from your Committee,
that the office of Paymaster of Marines should be
abolished, and the duties transferred to the Navy Pay
Office, reference was made from the Commissioners
of the Treasury to the Treasurer of the Navy, which
;;axe rise to correspondence and discussions, which
will be found in the Appendix.
After perusing and consideiing these Papers, your
Committee see no reason to alter the opinion given in
their fifth Report, p. 6, with regard to the abolition
of that office. .
An account of the proceedings adopted for the re-
covery of the 66 debt," which amounts to 02G1,507,
is published in this Report. By this statement, it ap-
Fears that £56,462. 19s. resulting from the sale of
estates, &c. has already been received ; and it adds,
under the head 4, to &expected," the sum of £79,749.
' 17s.— These two sums, that is, including the large
one w! ich is " expected" to be received, make toge
ther .C 136,212. 15s.
