Question, Lord Redesdale; Answer, Earl
Granville, Viscount Melville July 30, [213]
107

Moved, "That an humble Address be presented
to Her Majesty, praying Her Majesty to
direct the Comptroller and Auditor General
of the Exchequer to audit under the provi-
sions of the Exchequer and Audit Depart-
ments Act, 1866, the accounts between the
Crown and Mr. Leonard Edmunds, late
reading clerk at the Table, to whom this
House granted a pension on his retirement,
of which he has been deprived on charges
of malversation, the justice of which charges
cannot be rightly determined without such
audit, which the House ought therefore in
justice to him to obtain; and to which the
Judges of the Court of Queen's Bench, to
whom Mr. Edmunds lately applied to enforce
such audit, while stating that the Acts of
Parliament did not enable the Court to grant
a mandamus against the Treasury for that
purpose, declared unanimously that they con-
sidered him morally entitled" (Lord Redes-
dale) August 9, [213] 831; after short debate,
Motion withdrawn
