Of the real value, set by set by Honourable and Right Honourable
Gentlemen themselves, on the plea thus fetched from the
Antipodes, Your Lordship may see, in this as in th former instance of the Country Jails an indication
a further indication in the rank on which it occupies in their list of
subterfuges. In the grand argument of delay The delay of their own creation another
is the created by themselves for this very purpose Your Lordship has seen their first and
grand dependence: — all others are but make-weights.
After all for what purpose is it addresed what is
the use they make of it? Is it to justify the relinquishment
of the Penitentiary System altogether? — This
however accordant to their secret intentions is not
intended for by their declared intentions: it is rather
than arrived as far as a determinate construction can be
put upon studied concerted Jesuitry.
What then is the amount of the advantage if
there were any advantage in the case — that is contended
for by this plea. It is the difference only between
the originally promised magnitude not between either
of the previously promised magnitudes and nothing but between
one or other of them and : not the difference between
2 and one and or the difference between 4 and 0 but but
the difference between 2 and 1, or the difference between
4 and 1. [+]
[+] from which difference would again be to be deducted the half proffered compensation supposing what is said contrary to fact the system of to have received an exception in this single instance.
In this proportion of the nation would the advantage
be if there were any which it has been is their object
for which one of the most as flagrant and shameless a
breach of public faith as history can furnish is not
thought too dear a price.
Is it for this that it worth while to burst the
bonds by which society is held together?
