HC Deb 27 February 1823 vol 8 c288
Mr. Manning,

on moving for a Return of the Balances in the hands of the Trustees of Ramsgate Harbour, said, he wished to contradict a very unfounded report which had gone forth, that an hon. baronet (sir W. Curtis) held balances to a large amount in his hands. It was not true that his hon. friend had acted as treasurer; and he was so far from ever having held any of the money of the trustees in his hands, that he had himself advanced a considerable sum towards the expenses of the harbour.

Mr. Wallace

bore testimony to the honourable character of the worthy baronet in question, and expressed his conviction, that there was not the slightest ground for any imputation upon it.

The motion was agreed to.
