Parly Reform SineCures

Some or like the of falshood get interested in the new acts

I say except as excepted saving all just exceptions: for, now presently after
come the exceptions.

"In applying the principle of retrenchment to
"this class," Your Committee" (say they) desire to be understood
as recommending it with the same exceptions
which they have accompanied their recommendation
in the case of Sinecures.

These exceptions are two –

1. The first mentioned is that which regards the Exchequer's Sinecures.
"Some" say they "of the great Offices in the Exchequer [which (say
they) are indeed, as far as regards the Principals, purely
Sinecures] being probably among the fittest to be retained"
returned for what purposes? – for the description of
those purposes they then proceed to give the recommendation
of the former Finance Committee in its own
words – "for the reward of personal services or to secure
"an honourable retreat to persons who are entitled
"to marks of public favour, by the long and meritorious
"discharge of the duties of high Office, or who have
"sacrificed lucrative professional situations on engaging in
"public service."
