To the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, in Parliament ajfembled. r * The FIFTH REPORT of the Commissioners, appointed to enquire into the Fees, Gratuities, Perquisites, and Emoluments, which are or have been lately received in certain Publick Offices in Ireland; and also, to examine into any Abuses which may exift in the same ; and into the present Mode of receiving, colle& ing, issuing, and account- ing for Publick Money in Ireland, WHEN the Resignation of our late Colleague, Mr. Jackson, left us without further Hope of the Assistance which we had expected to derive from his extensive Knowledge and Experience in Matters of Excise, we lost no Time in directing our Attention to this arduous and intricate.
