Since that time, as Sir Charles Wood tells us, the debt, so far from having diminished, has increased £27,000,000. That there was a substantial reduction of debt going on during the period included in the above table, and not a mere juggle, by transferring debt from one denomination to another, though not to the amount which these figures would indicate, is decisively proved by the following Table, showing the general result of the financial operations from 1816 to 1832, when the Whigs introduced the Reform Bill:— Funded Debt on 5th Jan. 1816, £816,311,940 Unfunded do., 48,510,501 ———————————— Total, £860,822,441 Total Debt on 5th Jan. 1832— Funded, £754,100,549 Unfunded, 27,752,650 ———————————— 781,853,199 ———————————— Paid off in sixteen years, £82,969,242 —PORTER’S _Parl.
