with it. Afterwards it appeared that before the
Proposal had been given in, the expence of the
Hulk Plan had been reduced to 21,000: but the
demand of the 27,000 having been made and acceded
to, the reduction made no difference with regard
to Mr Bentham's treaty, nor was any notice

what the only documents then public shewed it
to be, Government would have got an annuity of
9000 a year for nothing: to say nothing of the
