list, to known zeal in this line of sen service, rank
afforded an additional pledge- an additional recommenda-
-tion. When a second set of super intendants were to be
looked out for, sought or unsought it was destined
for Lord Mints & Sir Charles Bunbury: neither Lord Mints
nor Sir Charles Bunbury the office._

bodies, what was to be done. & Ingenuity of one sort is

the same operation abuse obtains concealment; fa-
-vourites; Ministers patronage. By a meta-
-morphous as prompt as it was ingenious, out of
the bitter thus cometh forth sweet. The busy-bodies
thought to have put an end to the abuse: they thought
to have served the public: Good creatures! they are
compleatly taken in- compleatly jockeyed. A new screen
is bought for the abuse and the public pays for it.
Lord Pelham taps the wainscoat as usual for the gen-

any thing be or be not thought of or no, any then
every thing at any rate is done. The wainscoat found,
and in comes the gentleman with a friend in his
pocket for the place. That
