IV4 Compensation
1
4. Fourths object, compensation
or satisfaction: viz: for the damage
by the offence, for which the punishment
of the transportation
was inflicted.
This, though it ought
to be among the ends of penal justice, is
not under the English
law in the case of
transportable offences. p.1
2
Cause of this omission.
The profit to the King
by forfeiture was the
only direct object of
penal justice under
the feudal barbarism.
3
Felling's opinions and
labours of the Author
on this subject.—
4
His plan for introducing
the principle
into penal legislation
at his own expence.
His struggle with the
Treasury to keep in
the the article
for that purpose in
the Contract. p.
5
In N. S. Wales compensation
out of that fund is altogether
impossible; the value
of a man's labour
then being £46 a
year less than nothing.
6
But the object will
hardly be denied to
be a desirable one.
7
— if so, in so far as
the Panopticon system
contributes to it it
has the advantage of
the N. S. Wales registers.
p.5.
8.
The compensation
with which the
auther was amused
for his injuries,
belongs to another
head & will be
spoken of in another
place. — p. 5

4 Prospect of Decrease
In New South Wales
decrease of the expence
now far probable
p. 3.

1. But there is no chance
of its ever
being reduced so
low as the above
— £13..10
nor even as the £18..10

Long before it was were
reduced below the
Panopticon expence,
the Panopticon expence
would be
reduced to 0— p.4

1. Probable decrease —
amount if is according
to the supporters
of New South Wales —
viz: not so much
as a 1/5 reducing it
from £46..5 a year
per Convict say
to £37 — p.5.

— which is the exact
double of Panopticon
expence as enhanced
by Pitt & perfidy
& nearly treble, if
unenhanced. — p. 7.

Combined view of
the economy, morality,
& logic displayed
in the conduct of
the Treasury in
the relinquishment
of Panopticon, compared
with the support given to
N. S. Wales. — p.8.

Economy was the
stronghold — and was

all deficiencies in
respect of the four direct
ends of punishment.

This expence will
not be capable of
being concealed by
any such contrivance
as that of throwing
it upon a wrong
fund; as in the
case of prisons. +
+ This was the contrivance of the D of Portland as noted in his letter to the Treasury 14 Octr 1799 throwing it upon the Poor Rates by his own authority instead of the General Fund assigned by Parliament — p.14
19
If not as a prison
may it not be
beneficial as a
colony? p. 15
20
Answer
1. If in point of
wealth it must
afford a clear surplus
of wealth by
capital not drawn
from the Mother
Country. p. 15.
21
Whatever capital
is employed in
the Colony instead
of the Mother Country
is so much
loss to the Mother
Country — p. 16.
22
But so long as
the tax paid out
of the produce of
the exported mass
of capital is as
great as if not
exported the loss
will not be felt.
p.16.
23
Any deficiency in
such payment as
also any expence
to government is
so much loss. p. 16.
24
Items not belonging
to the account
of profit to the
Mother Country.

employed in the
purchase of goods
consumed or used
in the Colony. p. 16

— any more than
it received for on
these same terms
from a foreign
Country. p.16
27
The effect of a
colony upon the
amount of the
prices paid by
the inhabitants
of the Mother
Country is the test
and measure of
its utility in point of
wealth. p. 17
28
2. So as to population.
To be useful in
this way it must
furnish recruits more
than the emigrant
population would
have furnished had
it staid at home.
p. 18.
29
— and then recruits
must be more than
the men consumed
by the Mother Country
in the defence
or otherwise in
the service of the
Colony. p.18
30
Be the case as it
may with regard
to the disadvantage
chargeable upon
Colonies in general,
this is chargeable
peculiar ones.

VII Economy
31.
In these countries
Capital produces
its profit which
if lost to the
Mother Country is
as real and as
great to the proprietors
as if produced
by capital employed
at home. — p.20.
32
Here, at such a
distance from the
market, the same
capital is precluded
from yielding the
same profit by
the excess in the
expence of freight.
p.20.
33
That any considerable
quantity of capital
should be so employ'd is therefore improbable
even on
account of the
capitalists themselves
would be undesirable.
p.21.
34
To set against the
necessary loss by excess
of freight there
is no grounds for
expecting any peculiar
source of
extra profit.—
1. None on account
of soil in comparison
with the
East & West Indies.
p.21.
35
2. Nor, -nor climate in
comparison with
the East Indies. —
p.22
36
3— nor cheapness
of labour — but the
contrary. in comparison
of the East
& even West Indies.

4 — nor new and
peculiar products
not capable of
being propagated
elsewhere. p.23.

5 — nor any peculiar
facility of extraction
in respect of products
extractible elsewhere.
Examples —
1. Gold & Silver Mines.
p.24.

2. Pearls
3.Oysters
4 & 5 Feathers and Swansdown —
6. Precious Stones.

The worse than
inutility of this
Colony must be
recognized by those
who estimate at
the highest the
utility of all other
Colonies. p.26.
To conclude
with an examination
of the
supposed possible
utilities of New
South Wales in
the character of
a Colony: introduced
by remarks relative
to the general
question of the
utility of Colonies:
to which may be
subjoined an
unpublished tract

It was since the
drawing up the
Paper, of which the
above are the hearts,
that the 2nd volume
of Captn Collins's (now Lt Col Colline)
account of N W Wales
came out: dedicated
to Lt Hobart. In this
publication in
which the state
of the Colony is
brought down to
the period spoken
of in the latest
accounts (Aug 1807)
every proposition
deduced on the
subject in the
above paper & has
received the fullest
confirmation.
