Official Establishment
Act of 1809. Section 27. Official Establishment
In the case of Greenwich Hospital When in the amended Act a paragraph was
employed in the task of inhibiting forbidding members of this controuling
establishment from acting in the character of Prize
Agents, are taken i.e. from acting as Judges over themselves in their own cause
was taken in hand an entire Section §. 10. was allotted to this task.
In this amending Act the same task necessary operation is performed
in relation to Chelsea Hospital: But instead of an
entire Section, no more than the tail of a Section (§. 27)
and that the last of these ten that bear any relation to belong to
this subject is allotted to the task.
Of this Section the first and principal part is occupied employed
in stating by whom and out of what fund and by whose
hands the remuneration sums quantity of money annually applied to be allotted
to the purpose of affording remuneration for labour employed
in this business in the Hospital shall be determined: then comes a
provision and that a very proper one viz. that "the
"accounts of those expences and remunerations" shall be
annually returned to Parliament: then lastly, this
provision inhibiting the persons in question from acting
as Prize Agents. On a sudden, a sort of
is discovered descried by the sagacity of the legislator betwixt
this provision and those to which it thus immediately
succeeds: and for the acknowledgement of the fact and communication
of this the discovery, the word which is in
possession of being employed on those occasions, the word adverb
nevertheless, ushered in by its ordinary introductor as
ordinary the participle provided is employed.⊞
⊞ "Provided nevertheless
"that no person is
"employed" and so forth
shall act as any Agent
and so forth.⊞
⊞ Here add so ever it may seem to you, though I pay them for their trouble, I don't mean if I can help it to let them cheat the persons those for whom they are in trust, their principals.
