Evidence of the <add>acknowledged</add.
untrustworthiness of the
Board for want of

afforded by the Act
25.G.3.c.52 which
takes away from the
Board the allowing of
claim for the alleged
loss of Vouchers, giving
it to the Court of Exchequer.

Of Among the Statutes which have for their subject the
business of the Audit Board, there is one + + 25.G.3.c. 52 §§.23 I observe,
by which the of allowing items on the any such ground of
an alleged loss of is taken from the Board of Audit
Board and reserved for the Court of Exchequer.
As matters stand: it seems difficult to refuse this
approbation to a provision to this effect.
In the old-established Court of Exchequer, Parliament beheld one of
the gap/> objects of its high accustomed confidence.
In the recently established Board of Audit, Parliament
did not behold behold an establishment presenting any which did not appear to present
sufficient claim to an altogether equal share of its confidence.
How should it? P In shewing the cause, the parallel
above drawn between the two judicatories has
the reasonable ground of the difference in respect of the
degree of confidence, the Court of Exchequer like the other in Westminster Hall are open
Court, furious to the light of day: the Audit Board
a dark into the recesses of which the public
eye can is never allowed to never penetrate.
