After a few words the, original Itesolotion was
negatived, sad Mr. Johustune's amendment agreed
to without a division.
Mr. CALCRAFT- thanked the Chancellor of
the Exchequer for the sous he bail at length given,
by which he adtaittetl that the blame did not at-
tach to the Secsetary, us he originally contended,
bat to the Comic!. lie now thought it his duty to
defy his Ilert..Ffiend opposite to bring forward the
charce alluded to against him.Heshould not call him
his Friend only, but his thrice honoured Friend, if
he wou!d do so, and &fluid him ail opportunity
of
meeting it. He thought it impossible, after the
Resolution last alopted by the House, that they
•aht stow fail in declaring the conduct of the
Ilimrd to be censorable. If they did not do sts,
away at once with all ideas of votes of CCUbtaa
proceeding from that House.
Mr. G. JOIINSTQNE certainly • thought it
his duty to vote against this Resolution. The
House had already censured the conduct of the
Board of Ordnance in this particular. To pre-
sent the possibility of the securrence of such an
erd was now the preferable mode of proceeding.
'chi., he thought, could be only done by a Bill;
but, lie hoped it would provide that the securities
should be in a greater prole rtiuto to the sums
pas'i through the Treasurer's hands than they at
prt.setrt bore.
M. WHITBREAD thang!it it impossible for
the [louse, after the r,!solutioli they hail come to,
tint to follow it up with censor The !tight 1100.
Glideman (Mr. Perce.val) bad nt tint endeavour-
ed to throw the blame on Mr. Crewe, and had no
objection to; his being censured, provided he
Could shreen his head4ss Board, which he could
get no person to take off his hands. The blame,
however, being now declared to belong to the tin-
fottunate Board, he presumed to think that a cen.
sure must follow. Supposing a Bill to be intro-
duced in the terms proposed, and that the B lard
did not chase to inquire for one or two years w he.
then the Treasurer had lodged his securities, but on
hdiag that he had not should then dismiss him,
what security was this that he might not then re-
tire, owiti4 a balance equal to thst due by Mr.
~Iuol? If then this was the state of the matter,
%cyst security was there if the Board was not lie-
to punishment ? lie could not conceits that!
43e1l in u Muse like the present (there being
very few. Members in the House), they could
cone to a vote that that Board was nut to
pbe
censured.
Mr. PERCEVAL could not dent that in point
strictness the heads of the Board were respon-
sible. The greatest degree of responsibility, how-
'''. r. he thought, attached to the Secretary. lie
rhoidd not move to negative the Resolution, but
slyould mare the previous question.
Mr. 11. THORNTON thought the R3oltilian
ran 1 superfluous. It appeared to be doing •ciseL
again what had been already done. As it was
agreed that praise should not be too freely bestow.
d• the same rule he thought, should extend to
