HC Deb 04 March 1806 vol 6 c347
Mr. Whitbread,

from the committee appointed to draw up articles of impeachment against Henry lord viscount Melville, informed the house, that further matters had come to the knowledge of the said committee, in the course of the examinations taken before them, with respect to the conduct of the said lord viscount Melville, during the time that he held the office of treasurer of his majesty's navy; which I information the committee think it of importance to communicate to the house, if the house shall please to receive the same. It was thereupon ordered, "That the said committee have leave to report such further matters as shall have come to their knowledge in the course of the examinations taken before them with respect to the conduct of the said lord viscount Melville, during the time that he held the office of treasurer of his majesty's navy." Mr. Whitbread accordingly reported from the said committee such further matters as they appeared to them; and he read the report in his place, and afterwards delivered the same, together with an Appendix thereunto, in at the table, where the report was read. It was also ordered, that the said Report be taken into further consideration upon Friday next, and be printed for the members of the house. A copy of the report will be found in the Appendix to the present volume.
