Narrative

of acting in disobedience to the Act of Parliament took its
date: that it was at that point of time, and no earlier,
that the determination of wasting the public money, expended
on the purchase of Lord Salisbury's Estate, and that, at the
time that the determination for the expending of the money
was taken, there was as yet no determination taken that it should be an expenditure without use. —

Treasury plan
of operations for
defeating the intention
of the law as taken
Feby 1799

this being stated and explained as the proposition to be
proved — viz: that on or before the month of February 1799 aforesaid,
a determination was taken, or at least a design was formed,
and afterwards pursued (for if any system of unsteadiness
should here & there transpire — not that I much expect there
will — your Lordship will not find it make any material variation
in the case) — that a design, I say, was formed, and
effectually pursued, of defeating as above the intention of the
law, it will be equally necessary for me to state (meaning always
as a matter which remains for proof) what was the
plan of operation premeditated and contrived, for the purpose
of carrying such intention into effect. — This plan your Lordship
will find to have been as follows —

17
all proceedings
subsequent to the
purchase of the land
to be spun out that
J.B. might die off

1. That in the first place, all further proceedings necessary for carrying the
law into effect — all proceedings subsequent to the transaction
without which the money could not have found its way into
the pocket of the Noble marquis were to be staved off or
spun out for the greatest practicable length of time by means
of all such causes of retardation such incidents as should
either arise of themselves or should be capable of being made
to arise without too much risk or trouble: in the obvious
expectation that in the course of the delay, either the death
of the individual more particularly interested or some other
event capable of being set up as a final bar to the institution
might one time or other intervene. —
