~ It appears to your Committee that the entries in
that part of the first page, in which any entries are
made in Mr. Palethorp's book relating to the 91),d,
bills, and the whole of the next page, are entries made
by preference, as far as your Committee has been able
,to trace them, except in the case of Mr. Olivera, and
Itwo others at the foot of the second page ; the erasures
there found by the knite and the pen are explained in
the evidence of Mr. Blanc." 1

The Committee, it appears from one of the pieced.
ing extracts, have hinted that there was something in
the nature of Sir John Peter's evidence, which induced
the Committee to decline eaamisting him farther :
we shall Ore therefore the conclusion of this Gentle.

The follevring is the conclusion of the Report:
" Upon the whole, your Committee are of opinion
that gross partiality has been shewn in the late fund.
ing of Exchequer Bills; and that the details of per-
ticular Lacts, before enumerated, call for the immedi•
ate revision and reform of the effice.
" Your Committee are not authorized to point not
any mode by which it might appear to them the busi.
ness respecting funding Exchequer Bills could be
placed on a better footing ; but the defects of the Of•
fice, in the department submitted to the consideratien
of the Committee, are manifest : the system is r.tdi•
cally bad ; and the public are proved to have received
material injury, to the advantage of favoured inii.
viduals."
