1827 March 31
J.B. to Peel.
If in existence you were in your childhood infancy when
the same Pitt the second formed the design in addition to the Prisoner population as above of putting the whole
pauper population of the country into my hands. One day his
man of all work George Rose sent for me and said
to me (it was on the friday) one day the beginning of next
week Mr Pitt and came and Mr
Dundas will meet you, and then will settle the matter
will be settled mentioning it as above. The week passed over,
no such meeting took place: another such royal veto from the had prevented
it. By the adoption given to that proposal of mine he gave
up one of his own devised for him by George Rose and a
which had Bill for which had been printed in the House of Commons.
In a work of mine printed in Young's Annals of Agriculture,
I had shown him that no less than the capital necessary to be
advanced would be much more than fifteen millions, and that
it would be so much wasted, a experiment of my
plan might have been made for I will not attempt to say
how much less than a fifteenth part of that expense. Think
Sir, of the magnanimity displ of such a sacrifice manifested on that occasion in such a sacrifice
from by the haughty mind of William Pitt.
I should not wonder if this lastmentioned transmittal
was never known to Charles lang nor Lord Something (Farnborough
I believe it is. Of his two Under Secretaries George
Rose was Pitt's working man man of business and the only one. Charles Lang
his Master of Ceremonies sitting to give audiences.
