He went on to be a reforming Master-General of the Ordnance first in the Rockingham ministry and then in the ministry of William Pitt. In January 1784 he joined the First Pitt the Younger Ministry as Master-General of the Ordnance; in this role he reformed the Department introducing salaries for office holders starting a survey of the South Coast which led to the formation of the Ordnance Survey and introducing new artillery leading to the formation of the Royal Horse Artillery. James Glenie or Glennie FRSE FRS 1750 - 23 November 1817 was a Scottish soldier businessman and political figure associated with New Brunswick. He represented Sunbury County in the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick from 1789 to 1809. He attended the University of St Andrews where he began studying divinity but later excelled in mathematics. He graduated MA in 1769. He entered the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich as a cadet in the Royal Artillery and became a second lieutenant in 1776. He served with John Burgoyne and Barrimore Matthew St Leger during the American Revolution. Later working for Governor Frederick Haldimand Glenie was charged with establishing a barracks on an island at the east end of Lake Ontario. After a series of disputes with the commanding officer on the island he was put to work at Sorel instead while awaiting a court martial. He was found guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer but the verdict was overturned. In 1779 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. In 1785 he was supervising army work parties in the Saint John River area of New Brunswick. Glenie resigned his commission and brought his family to New Brunswick in 1787. He set up a business supplying masts for ships with a partner based in London. He encountered opposition in this enterprise from Thomas Carleton governor for the province who had taken part in Glenie's earlier court martial. Glenie began a series of attacks on Carleton and the ruling elite of the province. He was named deputy surveyor for the king's woods in New Brunswick in 1791 at the recommendation of John Wentworth.
