SineCures

If in the instance of the these two great Irish law
sinecures – the Seymour £12,000 a year Clerkship
and the Hobart and York £11,000 a year Clerkship
the assertion that had they any assertion of their which should speak of
them as having been given in the way of reward for
real public services would be found destitute thus destitute
of all support, no less difficult would it be to find
support for the still more enormous vast English Law
Sinecure – the £38,000 Percival £38,000 a year Clerkship.

Among the great characters who contributed to
shed their lustre over the certain parts of his Majestys the present auspicious
reign may be seen in turning to the annuls of that time one Earl of Egmont. Fortune
it used to be I have heard it observed of him his Lordship, had not been altogether so
liberal to him of his own more peculiar gifts, in Providence
had been in the article of loyalty, and including the
many other virtues which that Cardinal Virtue numbers
among his transbearers. Amongst his blessings reaped from
two fruitful beds was a once young and always noble
family the making compleating a suitable provision for which became was
of course a duty task that devolved of course upon that
class of persons whose duty it is to serve as of
wood and drawers of water to their noble and other their
illustrious superiors whom it has been the pleasure of Providence to place at their
birth in high situations.

Almost Little less than half a century ago, viz. in the year
1763 in the Administration of which Mr George Grenville
father of the Grenville Act and as also and moreover of the £23,000 a year Sinecure
and many other Sinecures, we find him, filling during the
two years or thereabouts that witnessed the existence of that administration,
filling the situation of first Lord of the Admiralty.
