_John Ross Mackay._
The following is from a work lately published, _Chronicles and
Characters of the Stock Exchange_, by John Francis:--
"'The Peace of 1763,' said John Ross Mackay, Private Secretary to
the Earl of Bute, and afterwards Treasurer to the Ordnance, 'was
carried through and approved by pecuniary distribution.'"
Will Mr. Francis, or any of your contributors, inform me where I can
find the original statement?
