Such was the point of view in which the matter
was viewed by presented itself to the very Reverend D the Rector of
St James's and his co-intercessors. By the very
not very Reverend though not the less pious Chancellor
of the Exchequer the same matter was taken up and
contemplated and declaredly contemplated in the same
convenient point of view. On the alledged ground of
"" but never disclosed as yet unpublished "documents" "insanity and
revengeful malice" are imputed to the supposed informer,
and this with Mr Vansittart in their eyes is his sufficient
warrant for ordering all proceedings against the
Defendant for fraud upon the revenue and injury to
public health to be suspended, and thereafter in conclusion
to be set at naught and frustrated.

When Under these circumstances what shall we say
then of this Chancellor of the Exchequer and his views optics? Was
it that, incapable of taking within his view that public
interest of which he has procured himself to be
made the appointed Guardian, all that his optics enabled
him to see in the case was the quarrel between the
man who could be and had been and always would be useful to him [and
his party] and another man who could not be useful
to him? — [If so On this supposition — under what sort of guardianship is the
revenue?] Is On the other hand is it that taking into his view that public
interest, and seeing how it was could not but suffer from
impunity given to notorious delinquents given repeatedly continually
to past and thereby promised to future ones, he persevered
as he will be has here been seen persevering in that disastrous course?
Imb on the one hand, improbity on the other — let him take his choice. But in[+]
[+] either case in what
condition is this afflicted
country, of which the dis
are in such hands?
