Act 1809 §. 12
Upon the back back of this concluding proviso,
comes the amending hand of the Right Hon. legislator Treasurer Gentleman of 1809
and here again instead of substituting a different rule, if
any difference was really intended, adds a fresh one
perplexing the business with difficulty discernible differences.
In the Act of 1805, the Agent's option of paying remitting
the money to England the Treasurer in England within the time mentioned or paying it with
his own hands to the Treasurers Deputy on the spot was
extended to the case of the East Indies: in the
Act of 1809 it is extended to that case.
In the Act of 1805 the point of time from which
the allowed interval space of twelve months is reckoned is that of the verification
of the Accounts: in the Act of 1809 it is that
of the exhibition of the Accounts: so that of twelve
months after the verification of them be not too
long a time to be left for this remittance, thence
after the exhibition there is no time left for the
verification of them: certainly at any rate no time for the
litigation about objections which the respect entertained
by the legislator of 1805 for the High Admiralty Court
in London was so careful to provide for the entertainment of
that High Court.
