Sinecures

☞ After a Note from Reform proceed as follows

All this has been put out of the reach of dispute, in
a place where those who are as willing as they are unable
to contest it, know better than they would wish to know where
to find it.

That which is not true is – that by from the substitution of
gift to sale this mischief would experience any the
smallest denomination: the sinister interests in which
the whole mischief has its cause, would remain
the same: the mischief which is the effe that sinister interest
has for its effect, would remain the same.

The theory (I mean that of the Resolutions as above) supposes patronage to be worth nothing:
as well might it suppose money to be worth nothing,
as well might it suppose that when the adversion
of a living is put up to sale and bought purchased neither
the adversion itself nor the money with which
it is purchased have any value.

When a Lord Chamberlain or a Lord Chief
Justice disposes of an office belonging to his patronage
it depends upon accident whether it be worth most
to him whose if disposed of in the way of gift sale, or
where disposed of in the way of gift sale.

If he has no son, no brother, no nephew or other
relative from for whom, if he did not make provision at the expence
of the patron, he would make provision at his own
expence, it is then most for his advantage⊞ ⊞ unless he has
nerves enough to
give it, as some
have done, to his own
apointment (See
Finance Report
1807-8) or to dispose of the commodity in the way of sale, to sell
the Office:(a) (a) Not sealing the still
more advantageous course
of taking the profits to himself
himself by name
(see do 187-8) it
is most, I say, to his
advantage, to if, so it be that on the other hand he has any such relative,
in that case it is most for his advantage
to give money the : to give it and to whom need to dispose of he thing in the way of gift: to give it away
not be maintained to be generous with it – and to
whom need not be mentioned.
