March 1810
Sinecures

4. 5. To On so many different occasions, in so many
different parts of this Report, with the portions of Appendix
respectively belonging to them, three classes of objects,
three distinct but intimately connected subjects of consideration have been are brought
to view by this Committee. 1. Sinecures or Offices
executed wholly or chiefly by Deputy: 2. Gran Reversions or
Offices held granted for Joint lives. 2. Offices granted or holden
in Reversion as for Joint Lives" and 3. Members
of the House of Commons holding Offices.

Between each and every other of these three subjects
of consideration the connection is no less interesting than
in it is natural and intimate.

By a tenure grant in reversion or for joint lives
a presumption, and nor that a lsight one, is afforded
as hath been observed, of a sinecure of sinecure: and sinecure
or not when he finds efficient every office which being more or less a lucrative
one, finds itself in any of the hands in which such
has for its natural not to say its necessary conveyance
that dependance to which the epithet of
corrupt and unconstitutional cling with by an indissoluble adhesive force
present a more manifest and incontestable, mask mark
than can be afforded by the same Office when lodged in
any other hands.

Thence are to whatever information had been presented
in relation to those their several subjects heads separately considered
no inconsiderable nor in an inconsiderable degree instructive
addition might have been made by a compound sort of
Table in which the several coincidences in question would had
have been exhibited at one view in a comparative and simultaneous point of view.
