N.S. Wales The greatest expence the most probable
Of all these annual masses of expence
on the one hand and rates of expence per
head on the other, it is the largest only
that Your Committee can take upon them to exhibit as the
measure of what may be to be expected in
future. In the case of a branch of expenditure
of which the expence which not
only at has all along been actually increasing,
but was and is from the very nature
of the service was and is destined to increase
go on increasing, and that without any certain assignable limit
in point of time, an estimate grounded on average taken from
the whole period would be evidently repugnant
and absurd.
A very large proportion of the expence expenditure of
this last year has it is stated + + been present
by Bills drawn some of them in 1796 (the
year of the last departure from N.S. Wales)
some in 1795, and some so long ago as in
1793 and in all these the greater part instances the greater part not presented till 1797. But
whatever reason there might have been for expecting
before hand that the year 1797 would
thus be loaded with by the Bills of from those preceding
years, now that it has been thus loaded
there seems still more reason to expect that a similar
and at least equal load will from the same
source will have fallen upon this present year 1798,
will fall upon the next year, and so on. [+]
