Supplement 1

The grand remedy for all promising grievances, the detail
great object of keeping of promise to which all
eyes are turned — the object longed for by the whole population community
which among the governed is the object of constant prayer
— of which hopes have so long been entertained by Governors
— so often convey'd by head managers here at
home — so often communicated there by governors to
governed — is a great shop for every where every thing is to be
sold, to be opened by his Majesty in New South Wales
What Magna Charta that laws of Edward the Confessor was to our ancestors under these first Norman Conquerors this shop
has from the first conquest of the Colony been to our fellow subjects
in New South Wales. What is reasonably to
be expected from a shop of any kind when kept by
government — from a trade of the least impot unsuitable
to government when carried on by government may
be learnt from Adam Smith.. What shall we say
of an universal shop — a shop in which every
thing shall be is to be sold? Never never can I be so uncandid
as to impute blame for choosing the least of two one of two evils
when it is the least evil. It is in men there upon examination I should expect to find
evils. To me it appears that on this principle the
institution of this shop is a justifiable a necessary measure.
The measure really reprehensible is not the sending
out such a shop to the Colony, but the keeping up on foot a
Colony to which if kept up such a shop must be sent. Superfluity

the Magna Carta
of New South Wales

At the expence of almost £46 a year per head For thirteen or 14 years off and on, Convicts that diverse of his first the inhabitants of this part of his Majesty's dominions subjects have been kept retired and half-starved. It is certainly high time that according to their own they should be full and fully clothed they should be furnished with — sufficiency of necessaries of both points: but it is too much to expect that should be full feeding and half starving — cloathing and nakedness should be performed at the same price.
