    • 1805, Cobbett's Parliamentary Debates - Volume 5, page 262:
      Not adverting to what I have just observed, I cannot help conceiving that gentlemen mislead themselves, by assimilating the navy pay office, in a great degree, to the army pay office, and supposing that, in all respects, the one has been regulated, or can be regulated, by the principles of the other.
