Panopt. Compensation Claim III Contract
§§.8
(2) Cowie's case

Upon the evidence given upon this score

On the occasion of t an application to Parliament
for compensation for this loss, by the evidence given delivered
by Messrs Chalmers and Cowie themselves supported by proper
Vouchers a loss was stated, and on grounds which
upon the face of them appeared appear reasonable, of a loss actually
incurred to no less an amount than
£ £60,000. Notwithstanding this The sum given as above, by
Parliament was known (it has been seen) no more than £25,000. as above The principle
being admitted, viz. that Administration by its acts though
in that case without any the smallest slightest expectation on that score
having, after the encouragement so given, with the including the expectation of the necessarily
implied profit, been having by its own act been the
cause of loss converted taken away this profit into loss and even
converted it into loss, the suffering party parties had for their
indemnification a reasonable claim upon the justice
of Parliament — When the this principle being admitted, whence then happened it that the whole
then, (it may be asked) that the compensation given was not equal to what the whole of what, as above was looked
upon as proved to be the whole amount of the loss? — Through
the medium of a third person, I received from obtained
t'other day from one of the pursuers (Mr Cowie) an account
explanation, by which an answer was afforded to this question. to that question
When the herrings came to London, had they been sold in London
£25,000 the Committee was satisfied would have
been the whole of the loss. But, thinking to avoid that loss or
reduce the amount of that loss it the gentlemen in question
though as appears by the Evidence not without very ample advice [+] [+] (as indeed Mr
Cowie's evidence as
presented by the Order House
of Commons shews)
yet without the privity of Administration here, sent off the
whole of the cargoes to the West Indies or and other parts of
the world: This I understand was, in conversation with my friend very frankly stated by
Mr Cowie: nor in speaking of what had the sum which in that
consideration had been struck off from his demand did he appear to express any such feeling as
that of a sense of injustice.
