rable time e4o. Ilat as it "'neter reit-d but it
poured," they had now fuoiid ab estat much o th 4
disadrintage of the public. On the 3l of July. the
Trustees under Lord Nelson's &tate Bill entered
into a contract with Mr. Komi), woo ertrps rt of the
terms, ltauwing the honour with sehirh sit transac-
tions of the Treasury were costfluct,:d. Dirlitg the
Course of tee neuriation, came the offer of another
estate, and the only diificulty was with .respect to the
Copyhold land.

Mr. Kemp took place .611 the 91.11 of Jolyi
Kemp accepted of the terms, but afterwards coupled
his acceptante with another so dr emotions. on
the 13th the nogoriation was restimoi!, but no ton:
tract was concluded. Mr. Kemp did toot consider
his title good in lite, to enforce she cSsittract ; and
he would appeal to the Committee, whether tti
"Chmmitsintsers had pledged themselves beyond Melt
'pacers. They had.offered to porchiese Standish foe
90,0001. Of this sum, 81-,0001. were to be given for
'the purciMse, anti 300i)1. were to be applied fur re.
pairs. There then remained 90001. and the Commis..
Blench offered to settle so much of the estate uport
Earl Nelson, as his ptitate property. It reinnined,
honever, entirely *ith the public, how far their li.
bcrality sitcisid be extended on this occasion : it wit
for them to decide whether they would stop. short, of •
go the length of putting the family of Lord Nelson
hi possession of that estate.
Mr. BANK .y was at a lois to I stow where the
Muse could find a justification for giving the add's
tional 90001. When the merits of Lord Nelsolit
were brought before them, it was dill co! to fix the
bounds of their generosity; hut 44 a had beet%
amiled, he could not perceive why it should be olio

he could not undergtand how the present proposition
could be seppOrted.

Mr. 110 i. E replied, that there "as nothlog to p►e4
tent Mr. Kemp from applying to the Court
eery, if he hotild consider himself to have been in-
jured. With respect. to Standish, no other property
had of eyed equally eligible, and, on that accuutti,
the Commissioners had conceived thembelies buond to
accept of it.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHFQUE3,
said, that it had been difficult to nod an estate appli•
cible to the purposes of the Act of Parliament. The
Act required that the estate should be freehold, and
free from incumbrances, It was_ therefore essential
to the spirit of the Act, that thiv;eatate should be set.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE
