Government requires that varions branches of bufinefs fhould be tranfaéted, and perfons muft be found to tranfa& them. The acceptance of .a: public office implies an ¢n- gagement to do the bufinefs, anda right to a compenfation: the officer has powers delegat- ed to him neceffary for the execution; but he has no other right than the reward of his la- bour: he has no right to any fpecific_ quantity of bnfinefs; that quantity mnft. ftictuate ac- cording to circumftances, or may be regulated bythe convenience of the State :if the good _of the community requires a diminution or an- nihilation of the. bufineis of his office, or the transferring Jit elfewhere, the officer cannot eppofe.to the regulation, the diminution or aonihilation of his. profits; becaufe not the emolument of the officer, but the advantage of the Public, was the object of the inftitution : to fuppofe in him a right to make fuch an ob- jeGion, would be to fuppofe the office created for his benefit; that is, to fuppofe it to ori- ginate in a violation of public truft, an abufe of power, and an offence againft the State. Where law or ufage has annéxed terms to the grant, whieh limit the right of the executive power to refume or take it away, the reafon feems to be the expedience of leavisg the officer in the ex- eycife of the duties of-his office, independent of the influence of that power, which might etherwife, at pleafure, remove him : but when it is no Jonger for public convenience that fuch duties fhould be exercifed, or when the exer: cife of them becomes an unneceffary expence to the Public, it would bean inverfion of the principle ‘that governs fuch eftablifhments, to fuffer that private emolunient, which was fo motive for the inftitution, to prevent or retard | the abolition of them. -It-matters not what the duration or condition of the intereft may be, whether for life or years, during: good beha- viour, or pleafure; all are equally fubject to that governing principle for the fake of which it.was created—the good of the Public: hente, in every propofed official regulation, the advan- tage or difadvantage of the officer .can never be property a fubject of difcuffion 5. the only, quef- tion is, whether the neceffity or good of the State actually requiresit? ‘This decides the propriety of the regulation; and the determination of it belongs only to the Supreme Powey that watches over the public good, for its improvement as well-as protection. The-regulation we have here furgeited, affects the Anditors of the Im- preft, bya diminution of their bufinefs, and confequently of-their profits: It is neceflary, therefore; to examine particularly, whether it interferes with any right vefted in that officer by virtue of his office. We hayé procured, and infertéd in thé Appendix, a copy of the lat pa- tent for the grant of this office, omitting the recital of the then fubfifting patents: This pa- tent defcribes his offfee, with its objets and emoluments,- The. power of auditing the Bank and South Sea Houfe accounts feems to be derived from the general words of * au- diting. and determining all accounts of all per- fons whatfoever, being accountable for any fums received by the name of Impreft.””> The iffue, therefore, by way of Impreft, is the circumftance that gives the Auditor the power to examine the expenditure, Whether a fum | me eg cife of this power of auditing muft depend up- on the will and pleafure either of the Crown, or thelegiflature. tt (To be continued.)
