		He was the fourth son of Robert Dundas, Lord Arniston, the elder (1685–1753), Lord President of the Court of Session, and was born at Edinburgh in 1742.
		Suspicion had arisen, however, as to the financial management of the Admiralty, of which Dundas had been treasurer between 1782 and 1800; in 1802 a commission of inquiry was appointed, which reported in 1805.
		The result was the impeachment of Dundas in 1806, on the initiative of Samuel Whitbread, for the misappropriation of public money; and though it ended in an acquittal, and nothing more than formal negligence lay against him, he never again held office.

	The government of Scotland from 1707-1832 - seminar paper
		The English-dominated House of Lords did not understand Scots Law and could care less, and as a result it could be used to undermine the authority of the Court of Session in interpreting Scots Law.
		The Dundas family of Arniston held the Lord Presidency of the Court of Session from 1747 to 1754 and from 1760 right through to 1786 as agents of an English ministry which sought to create a single Whig party in Scotland, including the old court party and the Squadrone.
		Dundas ceased to be a national figure in Scotland once Scotland became more than he could comprehend politically after 1792, but his defence of the Scottish constitution as it had evolved after 1707, for that is what it was, against both Nabob and radical, meant that Scottish national politics became Tory politics.
