These offices, as well as the lords of the bed-chamber, not performing any duties about the king's person, their salaries were discontinued by the late regulations for the Windsor establishment, and they only hold their situations as mere honorary appointments. Four lords and four grooms of the bedchamber were appointed in 1811; they have cost the public about £50,000, and this session of parliament it was discovered, that they were useless situations, and ought not to have been created!

Burke Edmund, executors of the late, Oct. 24,

1795

Mrs. widow of the late Edmund Burke,
September 20, 1794.......

When it is remembered that Mr. Burke, during his life, had
a pension of £3000 a year; when we observe here that his ex-
ecutors had a grant of £2500, and his wife a pension of
£1200 a year; and when it is known that but for the prema-
ture death of his son, he would have been elevated to the
peerage, to form a part of that "Corinthian column," whose
privileges he had so zealously defended; when all these things
are taken into consideration, it must be admitted, that his zeal
against the French revolution was not so insane, as one might
have inferred from the outrageous tenor of his writings. Burke
was a highly favoured pensioner. In the Longs, the Gren-
villes, and the Huskissons, we have instances of pensions being
granted to their wives after their death; but a pension to the
executor, after the death of the grantee, was a thing quite un-
precedented. Such a new and singular mode of squandering
the public money induces us to transcribe the original grant :-
"Grant to the executors of the late Edmund Burke, annual
amount, £2500. By authority of two patents dated 24th
October, 1795, that is to say, £1160 during the life of Lord
Royston, and the Hon. and Rev. Archibald Grey; and
£1340 during the life of the Princess Amelia, Lord Althorpe,
and William Cavendish, Esq."

Cambridge, duke of, out of consolidated fund.... 24,000 0 0 His royal highness is viceroy of Hanover, which also yields a considerable revenue; and like the rest of his royal brothers, he has had £20,000 out of the Droits of the Admiralty. In 1806, his income, as well as the incomes of four other of the royal dukes, was only £12,000; but in that year it was raised to £18,000 by the courtly, economical, and retrenching Whigs. On his marriage with the Princess of Hesse, £6000 more was added. All the royal dukes have gardens, lodges, parks, and palaces, not only rent-free, but tax-free, and, in general, they are exempt from every kind of impost. Camden, marquis, teller of the exchequer ....

....

The great sinecures being about to be attacked in 1817, the marquis suddenly resigned all the fees and emoluments of his office, retaining only the regulated salary of £2500. An expectation was entertained, which is not yet realized, that this example would have been followed by the Grenvilles, the Erskines, the Ardens, the Bathursts, the Huskissons, and other great sinecurists.]
