Report from the Select Committee upon the 10th Naval Report, &c. Ordered to be printed 27th May

1805.

The select committee to whom the tenth report of the commissioners of naval enquiry (respecting the office of the treasurer of his majesty's navy) was refered, to enquire into the application of any monies issued to the treasurer of the navy for naval services, to purposes not naval; and whether any, and what representations were made to the lords commissioners of his majesty's treasury, or the chancellor of the exchequer, respecting the withdraw. ing from the bank any sums of money so issued, since the passing of the act of 25 Geo. III. c. 31.; and also into the proceedings had for the recovery of the debt due to the crown by the late Adam Jel licoe ;-have agreed to the following report.

In taking into our consideration the three subjects which are referred to your committee, it occurred to us, that though the first, in terms, comprehends an enquiry, generally and without restriction, into the application of any monies issued to the treasurer of the navy for naval services, to purposes not naval; yet it must necessarily have been the intention of the house to exclude from our consideration all such monies so issued and so ap.

plied as were to be the subject of measures which the attorney-gene. ral was directed, by an order of the house, to take "by due course of law for ascertaining and recovering any sums of money that may be due from lord Melville and Alexander Trotter, esq. in respect of any profits derived by them from monies issued for naval services, and that may have come to their hands subsequent to the first of January 1786" we, therefore, conceived it not to be our duty to enquire, whether any sums issued for naval purposes had been applied by lord Melville or Mr. Trotter to their own use, for which they would be responsible in the civil suit to be instituted against them. In prosecuting our enquiry with this reserve, it could not be previously known to us, how any particular sum of money so issued had been applied, till such sum had been traced to the actual application of it. We were therefore necessarily, in some instances, led into an examination, which, without adverting to this dif ficulty, might appear to exceed the bounds of the enquiry, which we understood to have been prescribed to us; leaving it to the party examined to object to the questions that were proposed to him, on the ground of their tending personally to charge him, whenever he thought fit to do

Of the sums issued for naval services, and afterwards applied to purposes not naval, which the cause of this enquiry brought into our view, it appears that the sum of 40,000l. came into the hands of lord Melville, and was advanced by the joint concurrence of his lordship and Mr. Pitt, then chancellor of the exchequer, for the use of the house of Messrs. Boyd and company.Another sum of 10,000l. so issued,

appears

appears to have come to the hands of lord Melville, previous to the paymastership of Mr. Trotter ; but how it was applied, the evidence to which we have had the opportunity of resorting, does not enable us to determine. Various sums appear also to have been advanced by Mr. Trotter, during a period of between fourteen and fifteen years, whilst he was paymaster of the navy under lord Melville, to the order of lord Melville, amounting in all to 22 or 23,000l. which we shall distinguish by the name of the aggregate sum of 22 or 23,0001. about one half of which, Mr. Trotter states to have been advanced exclusively from public money; the rest from a fund, which is called in Mr. Trotter's evidence, his mixed fund at Messrs. Coutts, consisting partly of public and partly of private money: for which aggregate sum of 22 or 23,000l. no interest was paid. In order to avoid confusion, it may be proper here to state, that Mr. Trotter was desired by lord Melville to borrow for him, and did advance to him for his private use, a further sum of between 22 and 23,0001. of which he was himself the lender, and for which he charged him with interest at 51. per cent. ; but from what fund the same was drawn by Mr. Trotter, we did not think it proper to enquire. He was also occasionally in advance in his account current to lord Melville, in sums to the amount of from 10 to 20,0001, as mentioned in the tenth report, which came entirely from the mixed fund at Messrs. Coutts and company (the balance upon that account being also occasionally in favour of lord Melville to the amount of 2 or 3,0001.) and for the last mentioned sum of 22 or 23,000l. so lent on int crest, as well as

for such balance when it was in favour of Mr. Trotter, he states, that he considered lord Melville as his private debtor; but on such balances in the account current, no interest on either side was paid. Of the specific sum therefore of 22 or 23,000l. solent on interest, and those occasional advances in the account current from the mixed fund at Messrs. Coutts and company, mentioned in the appendix to the tenth report, we shall abstain altogether from taking further notice; confining our remarks to the several sums of 40,000l. 10 0001. and the aggregate sum of 22 or 23,0001. upon none of which any interest was paid. As to the 40,0001. the diversion of it from naval services to which it was appropriated, contrary to the provisions and meaning of the 25th of Geo. III. c. 31. attracted our earliest attention, and called for a full and minute enquiry into the causes and circumstances of that transaction. For this purpose, several witnesses have been called before us, from whose evidence it appears, that in December 1795, a contract was made by government with the houses of Messrs. Boyd and company, Robarts and company, and Goldsmid and company, for a loan of 18,000,000; of which, in the beginning of the month of September 1796, three instalments of 15 per cent. each were still due; and that about the month of April 1796 a loan of seven millions and an half was negociated by the chancellor of the exchequer, in order to fund a sum to that amount of exchequer bills and navy bills held by the bank, principally for the purpose of relieving the company from their advances to government, which then pressed heavily upon them. That
