§ 9. (5) + 81
Board, in and by a letter, sanctioned by the signatures 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 or 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, an 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 unlikely to come, in some way or other, though 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 the Claimant, in
relation to the land at Mill-bank, taken out of his hands 20 April1813,
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 Rood) which was put into my hands: -
December 29th 1799, may be stated as the 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
