If the wording of the privilege were

In the wording of the above Act relative to the Adjutant
General and the Comptrollers of Army Accounts
the wording is so loose as to leave the officers
in question, each of them (it should seem) separately
and individually, at liberty to make use of the
privilege for their personal accommodation, with
as little difficulty as is experienced by a Member
of Parliament. If in the instance of the proposed
new Board the same latitude were established,
it might deserve consideration perhaps
whether the old established Boards, some of them of which some
of at least will appear of superior importance, viz: the Excise,
the Customs, the Excise, the Stamp Office, and the Tax Office, and
the Navy Board (not to speak of
the Na Ordinance,
the Navy Board,
the Transport Board
and other Offices whose
correspondence is confined
to a few places)
might not be apt, and not altogether
without reason, to regard the distribution as affording them
matter of complaint
on the score of
dignity.
as derogatory in some manner to their dignity. In all these instances,
it is true, the individuals are, and of as of
course must be, course they must be exonerated in some way or other from all charge expense in accounts
of letters sent or received by them as were
for the public service: but the way in which they
are exonerated, is by their paying the money, and charging reimbursing
it to the account of themselves by charging the expense to the public under the
head of incidents: and a payment and it does not seem likely that a payment made under this head
for a letter really written or received in private account only,
could not should be charged to the public
as if written or
received for the
public service
with no as little remorse scruple as the
letter itself might be directed and franked. In the
former case there was practice a falsehood must be is asserted:
in the latter no assertion is contained.
