Viicount Melville, for their faithful ma-

On which the Speaker rofe, and addreffed 
the Managers to the following effect :— 
$¢ GENTLEMEN, 
‘¢ This Houfe has, upon the refult of agraat 
and important inquiry refpeéting the admi- 
niftration of the expenditure of the public 
money come toa refolution to enter upon the 
moft grave and folemn of all its funStions, 
and refort to its prerogative of Impeachment 
againft Henry Lord Vifcount Melville.—I¢ 
is the power of Impeachment which has en- 
abled the Commons of this country, at all 
times, to lay open the mifdeeds of the highe& 
f=rvants of the Crown, and to prevent or 
punifh, all inroads which may be made upon 
the liberty of the fubjeéts of this realm. In 
the profecution of this Impeachment, the 
Houle has appointed you to prepare and ar- 
range the proofs of the complicated tranfac~ 
tions on which their charges were grounded. 
Their charges were againft a Noble Perfon, 
whofe rank and high confideration in the 
State muft hold him forth as a fignal exame ' 
ple either of good or of evil to all perfons 
who may be entrufted with the care of the 
public expenditure. Throughout the pro- 
grefs of the trial, they have witnefled, with 
peculiar fatisfaStion, your great attention and 
difpatch, which have refcued the trial by im- 
peachment from the difgrace to which it had 
fallen, and reftored it to its former ftrength 
and honour. They have witneffed in you an 
unwearied diligence in the difcharge of the” 
truk committed to you, a fingular fagacity 
in difcovering the proofs, a boldnefs which 
fo. properly belongs to the Commons of the 
3N Daited
