After Query 6
1 Treasury why not
applied to
It may be proper perhaps for me, on this occasion before I conclude
to call to mind, the option sort of optionary recommendation, which the Board,
by Mr Secretary Mallet's Letter of the 28th of October 28 Oct. 1807
1807, the indulgence attention of the Board, that is I mean of the gentleman members to me unknown of whom on
that occasion, it happened to be composed, were was pleased
to give me indulge me with: viz that of representing to
the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury in respect of certain difficulties

as a matter depart from the ordinary course of business, for the
purpose of applying for it suing for such my right, as a matter of favour, at
the hands of an extraordinary one.
