consideration of this

They

are of opinion that much must depend

upon the circumstances connected

with the appointment and subsequent discharge of Mr Baxter, with which

They are not acquainted, for their Lordships could not justify

to Parliament the grant of a free passage home.

If the appointment

was made under any misapprehension from Mr Baxter, or in consequence of any suppression of facts by that gentleman, which misled

The Secretary of State in making

the appointment, then My Lords

would not feel justified in charging

any expense to the Public as a consequence

of such misrepresentation or suppression.

On the other hand if it shall

appear that the appointment was

made owing to the errors of others, in which Mr Baxter in no way participated or influenced, my

Lords would regard the case

as deserving of more consideration.

I am,

My Lords,

Your obedient Servant,

James Wilson
