SLISHMENT.
On the question for the second reaciie.g of the Bill
for providing for the Care of his Majesty's Sacred
Person,
Lord HOLLAND rose and said, he did not mean,
at least in this stage of the Bill, to make any obser-
vatiOns upon the topics to which it principally re-
ferred. Since he came down to the House it wa,
that the' prints were laid• upon the table, and from
the view he had taken of it, it struck him that some
part of the Bill required separate consideration. Ile
was ready to acknowledge that Parliament had, whe-
ther wisely or not, he meant 40t now to discuss, re-
cognized the propriety of care being taken of! his,
kllt_rjesty's sacred Person, in the way and on the prin
ciple provided for.by the existing law upon the sub-
ject, and he was equally free to acknowledge, that
such care could not be so well placed as in n,!,
of his Royal Highness the Duke of York. It wa::
not, however, relative to that part of the subject he
now rose to trouble their Lordships. The grant of
any extensive share of patronage, independent of the
person at the head of the Executive Government,
was undoubtedly somewhat of a novel and impor-
tant constitutional consideration. He certainly did
not wish to call for any premature discussion of any
subject connected with the Bill regularly before their
Lordships ; but it appeared to him, from a part of its
wording, that in agreeing to it, their Lordships were
called upon unnecessarily to recognize that which
should be the matter of distinct or subsequent consi-
deration.. The persons who were to remain in at-
tendance were certainly not mentioned; but by it,l
he conceived, they were called upon to say, that the
person appointed as the custodee of his Majesty's
person, should be appointed to renew, nominate, and
appoint, all the persons who should be in attendance
upon his Majesty. He did not mean to say that all
the persons who should be engaged in such atten-
dance should not be in the appointment and under
the controul of his Royal Highness the Duke of
York; but he did not think it would be quite de-
corous, were they to pass the Bill in its present shape,
until they should be aware of the general nature of
that extent of patronage which was actually to be
continued. • In this view, some explanation from
Noble Lords was, he thought, necessary. He was
aware that the part of the subject to which he now
referred must be in another Bill, and originating
elsewhere ; and it was questionable, therefore, with.
him, whether such provision could properly continue
part of the Bill now before their Lordships.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL had no objection,
though perhaps it may not be exactly. regular in the
present stage, to give the explanation desired by the
Noble 'Lord. It was, undoubtedly, the general sen-
timent entertained yesterday by the House, tint it
was thought proper and expedient that the care of
his Majesty's sacred person should be vested in the
Illustrious Individual appointed by the Bill, with the
assistance of a Council. It was equally clear that
the superintendence and controul of whatever esta-
blishment should be determined upon, without re-
ference now to its extent, could not, consistently, be
vested in any other hands than those of his Royal
Highness the Duke of York. Whether or not there
lay any well founded objection to the principal of
the present arrangement being rendered separate
from the Executive Government was another ques-
tion< but if there should not, the caurse followed, in
vesting the controul of the establishment in the per-
son entrusted with the care of the Royal Person,
must evidently be the preferable. As to the ques-
tion of the nature and extent of the establishment,
and which was the only remaining question, the No-
ble Lord had rightly stated it must be determined.in
another place wherein alone that part of the ques-
tion could properly originate. As to any details of
this part of the subject, it was now not necessary to
enter upon them. But he had no difficulty in stating,
that the measure intended for consideration in ano-
ther place, however modelled, and founded on a
-principle of reduction, with respect to the number
and expense of the attendants ; whatever the amount
and extent of the establishment may be, it would
come regularly before their Lordships; that all they
were called upon to decide by the present Bill was
that whatever the extent of the establishment might
be, it should be under the controul of his Royal
Highness the DUke of York..
Lord HOLL AND- could not agree to the principle
so broadly'laid (Liven by the Noble Secretary of State,
that all the patronage of the Establishment ought to
be vested in the person to whom the care of the King's
person-was intrusted. That principle had not been
.sanctioned by Parliament. Indeed, prectsely an op-
.posite principle had leen established, by vesting pa-
tronage ih others, as appeared,frem the cases which
had been expiessli. excepted. With regard to the
extent of the Establishment, he was one of those who
never thought its maintenance proper, and it would
be for-the Noble Lord hereafter to explain how it
happened that reductions which could 'be made in
1819, were totally impracticable in 1818. One set
of persons might think it right that the care of the
King's person should be separated from the Execn-.
tire Government; another.might be, of opinion that'
this was not right; others again, who thotight the
separation right, might still desire that all the pa-
tronage should be vested in the Executive Goverp-
ment. If it shoubtbe the opinion of their Lordships
that anastablishment ought to be maintained for the
purposes ofropiloadour or comfost,the question whe-
ther the whole patronage of that Establishment ought
iso .vestod in the hands of the individual to whom
the care of the King's person was intrusted, 'ought
still to remain open to their consideratime Here,
however, they were pledging themselves to the 4Br-
native of that question, by directly recognizing the
principle, that Lite whole patronage was to be vested

Mr. GRENFELL said he rese,,,to move for the
production of certain accounts similar to those for
which he had moved in the last Pirliament, relative
to the atf.iir-. and conduct of the Ban.l; of England.
It was not his ii.tention to touch upon these parts of
this great question with respect to which notice had
been given of lotions by two of his Honourable
Friends. lle did not wish. to precipitate the discus-
sion cf these subjects,. whiCh would be brought for-
ward will so much mote ability in &short time. One
of these vas of a mixed and general nature, and the
tither WWI reference to the frequency of carital
pu-
nishment: fkirgery, were each of the highest im-
portance. There. were, hov..ever, . a few points not
necessaol,,, involved in the consideration of either, to

the tremendous power of issuing an inconvertible,
and therefore a forced paper currency, for their own
sole and exclusive benefit. This currency cost the
Bank nothing but the price of the paper, and the ex-
pense of clerks employed in fabricating it. Indeed
there was one other expense which ought not to be
overlooked—he meant that of carrying on the pro-
ACCUtiOTIS against the numerous and wretched victims
of this. system, with whom the jails ,of the country
were now crowded—(heat, hear) The other great
source of the gains of this Ccrporation, and one not
less productive, was the exorbitant rates exacted for
the management of the public business—exactions
for the allowance of which no Administration had
mote to answer for than that of the present Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer. These were assertions which
he had tepeatedly made in the last Parliament, and
which, he would take leave to apprise the present,
had been met by the Bank, sometimes with evasion,
sometimes in silence, but never ,rich disproof. They
were founded on documents which had been laid
before the House, and the authenticity of which
could not be controverted. He should conclude by
moving for a variety of retnrns, and in the first place
for " An account of the total weekly amount of Bank
Notes and Bank Post Bills in circulation, from the
Ist of January, 1818, to the 25th o' January, 1819 ;
distinguishing those under £5, and chewing the ag-
gregate amount for the entire period."
the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
observed, that he had on a former evening intimated
that it was not his intention to object to the produc-
tion of the accounts for which the Honourable Gen-
tleman WAS moving. The information which they
contained might be usefully laid before the House as
preparatory to the discussion which was to take
place. With regard to the Ilononrable Gentleinan's
comments, and the justness of the inferences which
he drew, a better opportunity would soon present it-
self for the consideration of them. Another impor-
tant paper—the Report of the. Commissioners for in-
quiring into the means of preventing the forgerrof'
Bank notes—had been already laid upon the table.
Mr. GRENFELL then moved for an Account of
the amount of Bank Notes in circulation on the 7th
and 12th days of each month, for the year 1818 ;
distinguishing and specifying them, as in the preced-
ing return: also' for the highest and lowest amount
in circulation at any one time, specifying the dates:'
also of the amount on the Saturday night of each
week : of the market prices of standard gold
and silver in bars, and of the rates of eschance with
liamburgh, Lisbon, and Paris : also of the balance
of cash in the hands of the Bank belonging to the
different Pnblic Departments, on the 1t and 15th of
etch month to die 15th of December, 1818: also of
"..e amount of unclaimed Dividends and Lottery
profits at the same periods also of .the amount of
Exchequer Bills received as cash : also of the allow-
anc;:s made to the Bank by the Public for manage-
: also of Sovereigns and Half-sovereigns issued
by the Bank, up to the late;t period that it could be
made out : and lastly, of the total amount of Gold
and Silver Coin issued from the Mint during the
year IblB.—These Returns were all successively
ordtred to be produced.
