about 180001. a-year. He thought it ereuld be inde-
cent ha the House to commence such an enquiry at
this. time. His present Majesty, during a long reign,
ibtaitietl the' food opinion and the, blessihgs of his
rpessplos. Skis)lithe House, then, proceed to make
this enquiry; If: icould look as if they, wished, by
contrasting hies with other Princes, to cast a censure
on the lest years of his life for an excess io his Civil
List expenditure which others had not incurred.
Mr. GILES ;bought, that.without the power to
send for persons, papers, and records, the Commit.
tee would .be of no avail ; ind thacif tie Chancellor
of the Exchequer meant to refuse that power, he
' had much better act with sincerity at once, end re-
fuse the Committee altogether..
Mr. W. SMITH said, if those powers were denied
to the Committee' it would be better not to grant it
at all. In most of the branches of the Civil List,
enquiry might go on without any infringements of
delicacy.; and where delicacy was necessary, no
doubt it would be used.
Mr. BASTARD said, the patience of the country
was already exhausted; and, if the people conceived
this Committee was appointed merely for delay, it
would greatly increase their discontent.
The Motion was- then pot from the Chair' and
agreed to; and the following Members were named
as the CeinteAttee •
Mr. Baia. Mr. Bstherst,
Mr. R. Wellesley, Mt. Sir J. Sebright,
Mr. 011ie, Mt. t . I,oed Dlobing,

Whew the molt were read from the Chair,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIPX/UER pro-
: posed, that the name of Mr. N. Vensiftart should 'be
substituted for that of Lord A. Hamilton.
' Mr. HORNER said, he would reeler have Mr.
Vantittart's name added to-the Committee.
• The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
because the Committee was to consist only of
I St Members, and the additiou would make it 22.
Mr. HORNER said, he had frequently been on
Committees originally consisting only of 21, to which
'Members had been added making them 22 and 23.
1 Mr. WHITBREAD said the same ; and that if the
I Right Hon. Gentleman did not consent to have the
1, name added, he should take the sense of the' House
lon the proposed substitution.
A division accordingly took place on Mr. Perce.
vats motion.—Ayes 81—Noes 26.
We are informed, that it was afterwards moved by
Mr. EDEN, that the Committee hate power to send
for persons, papers, and recorde--zien• which a division
took place.—Ayes 27—Noes 80.
We understand that Mr. Tierney then declared to
the House, that.he would not attend the Committee.
Mr. Eden did the same. It was understood that all
the rest of the Members en that side the House, who
were named on it, meant to adopt the same line of
conduct.
SUITORS' MONEY IN TIIE MOH COURT OF AD-
MIRALTY. • • •
On 'oar re-admission into the Galbry, Mr. 11.
M &RIJN was on his legs. After a few prefatory
remarks respecting the Office of Registrar of the
Admiralty, which we could not distinctly hear,
Mr. Martin moved, that there ha laid before the
House an Account of the Suitom"-Money. us the
CANulAof Admkaltj, fleeing. thm years,iSiO. mid
1811 specifying what sums were invested., in stock,
in Elie.hequer, or • other securities, together with the
proceeds and interest thereof.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ob-
jected to the latter part of the motion- which re.
quired a specification of the mode of disposal of the
proceeds end interests. He thought it betrayed a
curiosity to pry into the private transactions of the
indirideal who filled the office of Registrar, who
iiad, in his own conception, a legitimate right to in-
vest the interest of these sums at his discretion. lie,
therefore, proposed to leave out this part of the mo-
tion.
Mr. MARTIN denied the legitimate right claimed
by the Registrar ; and said he should propose a mo-
tion, which he hoped to carry, respecting the trans+
actions of that individual.
After a few words from Mr. Perceval and Sir Wm.
Seott Mr. Martin altered his Motion to the fol-
lowing shape :—" That there be laid before the
ise, Accounts of the Suitors' Money in the High
,Ceurts of Admiralty, ou the Ist days of January,
'llllO, lilt, and 1812, specifying the Sums laid out
