Y u 332 LIFE AND CAMPAIGNS OF While the lower house was wholly occupied with the reform bill, the upper endeavoured to carry on the business of the country, in which Earl Grey was much assisted by the Duke of Wellington, whose knowledge of financial history was most extensive. It was proposed to go into committee upon the civil list, on the nineteenth of April, but, on grounds so exceedingly erroneous, that the duke felt it necessary to acquaint the country with the present financial relation b...etween the people and the monarch of these realms. He reminded parliament, that the crown supported itself upon its hereditary revenues up to the reign of George II. ; nor was it until the commencement of the reign of his suc- cessor, that that system was departed from. Those revenues, exclusive of all droits and West- India duties, exceeded £850, 000 per annum, to which sum the sovereign had as much right as any proprietor in England to his estate. The civil list, however, became in debt, and changes were sug- gested, such as bringing chai'ges for ambassadors under the annual parliamentary vote.
