he had once formed his mind; upon the belt lights his under

bench did him injuitice when: they imputed his conduft and ac
cufatio'ns to anonymous Handcr or a vague unfubftantial telhy
mony f any nature whatever ; that when this boated ferviccof
the noble Earl came to be inquired into, you would find he had
been intruded annually with twice as much of the public money
as; anyjone of his predecelTors in office, therefore he ought cei
tainlyio have the fleet in "a more fcrmidable and fplendid coa
