S.9. Services by Contractor and his Co-Claimant

in and by a letter sanctioned by the signature of all the
Lords Commissioners, were led to give my brother that invitation,
the acceptance of which placed him in an Office, created, as above
for the purpose, viz: the Office of Inspector General of his Majesty's
Naval Works. It was in the execution of the business of that
Office, that he found means to render to the Public, those essential,
unquestioned & unquestionable services, of which a fate, similar in
some respects to my own, has just now called upon him, and
compelled him, to give in a list, of which, an Article — the only one,
with the mention — of which I mean, on this occasion, to trouble my
Arbitrators — consists, in the having in the course of a few years, put
the Public in possession of a saving, to the net amount of
£40,000 a year, in the single Article of Copper Sheathing, by a
Manufactory set up in Portsmouth Yard, and conducted by himself,
the whole of the money, which, for that purpose, it became necessary
to advance in the shape of capital, having, for some years past, been
already reimbursed. The Account a very particular, and, if I am not
misinformed, and undisputed one, has, for some time past, lain at the
Admiralty Board, or Navy Board, or both.

Of these Services, the whole list is already before the Admiralty,
and seems not likely to come, in some way or other, through the
medium of Parliament, under the public eye. References having been
already made to it, a copy of it will accompany this paper.

III. Pecuniary services rendered to the Public by he Claimant,
in relation to the Land at Millbank, taken out of his hands 20 April
1812 for the purpose of the now intended Penitentiary Establishment.

£12,000 was the price paid, as above, by the Treasury for the
Land (53 acres and 2 roods) which was put into my hands: December 29th
1799 may be stated at this time. (a)

Note (a)

(a) October is the date upon the face of the Instrument, by which, for the
purpose of purchasing and holding the Land. I was appointed Feoffee.
But the purchase was not completed till some time afterwards.
August 1800 is the day on which the receipt for the first money received by
me from the Land bears date.
