 of ultimate saving to the public 

 uncertain :

Under this head may 

 be classed the offices 

 wholly or chieCy exe- 

 cuted by deputy in Scot- 

 land ; of these, some 

 must be retained by the 

 provisions of the Act of 

 Union,although subject- 

 ed by the same Act to 

 be regulated by Parlia- 

 ment. What the ulti- 

 mate saving would be 

 after such regulations as 

 may be thought expe- 

 dient, is uncertain.

With respect to offices in the 

 Colonies, where the deputy re- 

 ceives the whole emoluments, pay- 

 ing to the principal, by agreement, 

 a fixed annual sum, and giving 

 security for the same, as well as 

 for the faithful execution of the 

 office abroad ; your committee 

 report, that the persons in Great 

 Britain holding those offices enjoy 

 perfect sinecures ; but that the in- 

 come of them arising altogether 

 from fees payable in the colonies, 

 it does not appear to your com- 

 mittee that any sums would be 

 placed at the disposal of parlia- 

 ment by regulating or abolishing 

 them ; they afford to the crown a 

 very considerable patronage as at 

 present constituted; but do not 

 seem easily capable of being 

 brought within the reach of any 

 economical arrangements in aid of 

 the resources of the empire at 

 home. This class of officers is very 

 numerous, but your committee 

 have only had time or opportunity 

 to report upon the following ; viz. 

 Jamaica, Value per Annum.
