This case (it may be said) is not precisely on point —
the offence for which the satisfaction is thus made in New South
Wales, is not the offence for which the Convict in question was
sent thither for punishment. The con It is however on
account of injury received from an offence — and for that
offence of the rank of felony, that the compensation is was awarded.
and whether the offence was committed in Britain or
in New South Wales is a point that does not, as to any state practical
inference appear to present itself as making make any an very material difference.
Compensation does not appear to be of that any such class
of object as those which change their nature when they change
their place. If in either place it be desirable that for an injury
of a given kind satisfaction be administered to the party object
of the injury at the expence of the author, it can will be
difficult to say why it should be less desirable in the other.

From the observation of thr the homage thus paid at the antipodes to natural
justice I I wa will confess a double pleasure.
One was to think that any good should be found among to have come
out of such a Nazareth. The other was to find the visions
of such a visionary as myself reduced and to practice: reduced
made practice in any part country of his Majesty dominions
though that country be South Wales. By this discovery the
idea is brought down at once from the clouds, and fairly lodged
upon firm groun Terra firma: on firm however distant ground.
It is a maxim p with statesmen, as th such statesmen at least as
I have had to deal with, that what has never yet been done,
never can be done — that or ought not to be done — for there is
no difference. Another is that item over that which neither could
have been done nor ought to have been done has been done, and
