Query 1.
(1 2. Requisition 2
[2. Requisition the 2d. — "And whether the contract relating
"to the same (the Draught of which was laid before
"the Committee of Finance and reported by them in their
"28th Report) has since been duly executed; and if so
"he is required to produce the same."]
Answer
1. The To the requisition is irrelevant and useless. By
the warrant above referred to, I, (the Accountant) I was authorized to apply
the money thereby granted to the purpose therein
mentioned. Had that the authority so given been ever
revoked, and the revocation accompanied by an order a requisition an intimation
express or even implied, requiring me to cease the expenditure of the
money, it is might then have been material to enquire,
what part of it if any, had been left by it
unexpended. But no such revocation was ever
made: in pursuance of the authority so given, not only that a sum of money
money of the public's but a great deal more of my sum of public money amount but to the amount of between four and five times as much
of his my own is there [+] [+] in that last same Examination
of mine dated
23 June 1798,
stated as having
at that time been
applied to that same
purpose: out of which,
a besides a sum little less
than equal to that over and above now
sum of public
money, another
sum of public
money, another
sum little less than
equal
is
in this his
an account of a
sum little less than
double what I stand
charged with is
given in my discharge
own viz. almost as much again was expended by
me as stated in my account. In the draught the Supposing the Draft of contract
Mere portion of had since been duly executed, I should
not have had any of the money to refund: and
supposing it not executed, which is really the case
the money having been expended, and by the expenditure of it applied
to the purpose for which it was granted neither have . . any thing to refund on that supposition,
have I any thing to refund, any more than on the other.
2. Without my being called upon to answer, it now to make give the information
was 2. So long ago as on the 23d of June 1798, being the date of my said examination
it was in the course of that my narrative all
along asserted or rather and observed upon, as a matter of universal
notoriety, that no such contract had then been executed, and that
the non-execution of it did not proceed from any "want of readiness of my part:" And
at that time the money in question, together with a great deal more of my own (as my said Account) had as above already been expended.
