' chequer) slid Wok his own batter than all the others,
because Wore she Queen controul over all the O.
;mot the Household, eicept two. He had said that
not to his own be liked the NoWe Lord's plan better
than all the rbst. He (Mr. Ponsonby), dared to say
he LI think it better than all but his own, because
He the Queen a controul over all the Officers of th,
ousehold, viith the exception of three. But he (the/
Chancellor at the Exchequer) had stfoken of his (Mr.
Ponsonby'sy plansts most extravagant. He wished
the Committee to look to the effect of their levet,'
propositions. This would leave it ip the power
the House to make such arrangements as might
'pear expedient ; that if the !tight Hon. Gentler"-,
opposite went to place the whole 1-jousehol4 under
the controul of her Majesty with the exception of tw
Officers, and after all they were to come at the tom
of a year to some plan similar to that of his (MI
Ponsonby's) which had just been spoken of its plat,
ing them in a similar situation, so embarrassing ar
extravagant, and one from which they could not e
tricate themselves.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER oh
served that the Right Hon:Gentleman appeared
have misconceived him so much, th.tt if he had beim
sincere in what he had said, he should pow almost
expect his support. He (Mr. Ponymby) had sai"
that his (the Chancellor of the Exchequer's) propo.
sitions went to give the Queen controul over all thi
Officers of the Household but two, when, in fact,
lard proposed to except the Chambcrlam, the Cr
tlemen and Grooms of the Bedchamber, h;: Maks%
Equerries, the Captain a the Band of,ensionel
and the Captain of the Yeomen Guard. In disctiu
in; the subject twelve months hence, he had iier
said the difficulties in their waywould be insurrnutif
able.; he had only said, that mare information
the subject was necessary than could now be obtains
He did rot say they could not meet the subject
all ; he had only said they Weft incapable oI doi
so at preterit.
Mr. PONSONBY said, that he Would take
Chancellor of the Exchequer's own ezplanation.--,
He had himself used patronage perhaps too vaguel
and he might have added controul ; for the Bill giv
the whole controul to her Majesty; so that betw4
patronage and controul she has the whole manna
Imeat of the Household,
Lord CASTLEREAGH explained.
Mr.IIILEY ADDINGTON supported the Chl
cellor of the Exchequer,
Mr. CANNING said, that the Household was 4
vided into four great offices • the Groom of the Stol
the Lord Chamberlain, the 'Master of the Horse; at
the Lord Steward. Her Majesty would have
power of nominating to the o&e of Ornom of
Btole, and would have a complete negative to the
pointment of the other three great Officers.
