Sobre este artículo
London: Printed For Longman, Hurst, Rees And Orme, 1806. After reports of a commission of inquiry indicated financial irregularities in the navy, Lord Melville resigned his position as first Lord of the Admiralty in 1805. The following year he was impeached on charges relating to misappropriation of public funds during his term as Treasurer of the Navy in 1782-83 and 1784-1800. Tried by his peers, he was acquitted of all charges. Melvilles was the last English impeachment trial, conducted in the House of Lords and presided over by Thomas Erskine as Lord Chancellor. Prefixed are a sketch of the life and political character of Lord Melville and a complete account of the proceedings in Parliament relative to the charges on which the impeachment was founded.
