11. That in the view of pointing their view to the subject
of his objection, and at the same time pointing the directing the power of the
public eye upon their the course taken by them on this occasion

12

That, your Petition, mindful of the c scarcely
resistible power of that interest in the governance supremacy of which
the very existence of the species depends and of the demand for
whatever influence could be brought to bear for the chance
of submitting it made applic a considerable time ago application
to a high functionary, requesting that he would
employ that influence in the endeavour to obtain from them
answer to such queries as it might occur to him to propose:
but to this application he is truly to have
to state than an answer was given declining to employ such influence
for that purpose any such influence alledging giving for the sole reason
of non compliance the observation that of such communication
if made "controversy" would might be the result: controversy — that is
to say, the hearing of both sides

13

13 That under these circumstances namely abundance
for obtaining opinion from person prompted by private
interest to give continuance to delay expence and vexation coupled
with the inexorable forbearance to make the like communication
to only person acquainted concurrent with the subject who whose suggestion was was not expected
to be new minted by that source of delinquency from the time of
rectitude Your Petition begs leave to submitt it to the consideration
of the Honorable House whether such course could have had non
other cause than a consciousness of the incongruity of that system
to the continuance of which it was the determination to give support.

14. That it is not for the any such purpose as that of
calling down upon the functionaries in question the displeasure of
the Honble House that these considerations are held up to view
for in that Your Petition scruples not to acknowledge that by any such
description from beyond what is necessary would be the result: no
that the purpose for which they are told all to view is simply this: namely
that
that by such pretence on
their part, evidence
of the inaptitude of this
same system, evidence
which though of the kind
termed circumstantial,
is in the highest degree probative,
is afforded.
