Plowd. II 349 1792 Jany 19. Parl. opens. Grattans Speech
12. Parl. Deb. p.23. proceedings imputed by him to Sir Henry
Cavendish. He "voted in one Session for a previous Bill and
"against it in the next . . for a place Bill in one Session
"and against it in the next . . . for a Committee to proceed
"towards impeachment against the present Ministry for selling
"peerages, and the very next Sessions votes for thanks to that
"very Ministry." For selling peerage Note as of the influence
exercised by selling peerages were more corruptive than that he
received by giving them gratis!

N.B. On the same day Plowd. II 348 Speak Speech by Mr Grattan
displaying the utter corruption of ascribing to the Irish Constitution as compleat a state of corruption
as can be imagined: at the same time "he allowed
t the British Constitution to be the best." Let him who can
say in what case if the particulars of the corruption so held
up by him to view the one constitution differs or did then differ from the other
"It was not (p.348) " mixed monarchy with parts happily tempered
"and so forth; the cant of grave and superannuated addresses; but
"the reach and will, and simple, and absolute government;
"rendered so by means that made every part of it vicious
"and abominable; the executors who devoured the whole, and
"the other two parts which were thus extinguished; of such a
"confluence the component parts were debauched by one another"
&c &c.
