11 March 1808
J.B. to Inspector General
As to any thing further, the Accountant submitts it
that in his humble conception of the matter, any enquiries on the one part or explanations on
the other would go beyond the subject and beyond the object.
The Commissioners of Accounts have themselves
stated, that in regard to the £12,000 and the purchases
made therewith, that no such words as on account
beg to be found in the statement give made by the or under the
order of the Ld Comms of the Treasury in relation to that
sum, they have no account in relation to it to require
or receive.
So far as concerns himself, the vexation and consumption
of time always excepted, the Accountant has not
nor can have any the smallest objection to lay open state
any thing that he ever received, heard, wrote or sent in
relation to the whole business. But as as any
such statement would invoke most voluminous communication
by which the conduct of such persons in
high station could not be placed as he concurred in<lb?>a very favourable point of view, and foremost as it
would the expense from which the property taken
sustained so sharp an injury, being on his own head
in addition to the load of vexation already suffered under<lb/.grievous load, nd and without any the prospect of redress
or adequate compensation, he hopes not to be fist himself charged with
any such additional burthen. ☞ Add the minute of 1802.
