Mr. Bennettobserved, that on a former night, in answer to a question which he pot to the other side of the House, he was told, that 39,000l. had been advanced out of the Droits of the Admiralty, by way of loan, towards paying off the debts of his royal highness the Prince Regent; he was now desirous of knowing, whether any part of the 230,000l. which had been advanced out of those Droits towards the assistance of the Civil List, had been devoted in the same manner?
The Chancellor of the Exchequeranswered that no part of the loan granted from the fund alluded to by the hon. gentleman to the Civil List, had been applied in the manner which he suggested; as the accounts on the table would prove.
