Throughout the whole
of the business, from
the time that the forgery first

finger was help up
by the first Lord, the
general rule has been
to give or keep nothing but
hopes, and these hopes
false hopes ones. Witness

a thousand – the date
of letter ordering an official orders to
make preparations for 2000
convicts. 24 Mar. 1800
in a letter concerted
for the express purpose
of making a pretence
for giving none.

If I understand the
matter right, the
giving of false hopes
is a general rule

he found established –

is supposed to admitt

P.S. In his medical
capacity, his
Lordship has given
himself more work
to do than he seems
to be aware of. He
has not only my the
mind of your honorable Servant to cure,
but that of some
learned minds which
not only go about
without a Keeper
but would be caught
at with great
eagerness by his
Lordships Attorney
if he was unfortunate
enough to stand in
need of their assistance.
It is not only the
crazy quondam
lawyer – but some a most
perfectly sober as
well as most eminently
learned
lawyer (I speak
as yet but in the
singular) that has
pronounced his Lordship
with a numerous
tribe of
his friends punishable and in the severest degree short of death not only
in Parliament (where)
they are at term
but in a place
where justice is
at home – a
common Court of

To
You, my dear
Sir, who though
a legislator, (and a
legislator to whom
in that capacity
this country has very the most substantial
as well as
obligation)
do not have no
such ambition as
that of calling yourself being called
a lawyer,
to you I spare my such
unpleasant confidence.
If they
hear of their danger
before they hear of
it from Westminster
Hall, it will be through
the medium of a lawyer
ban whence if they they will
be must hear of it they will at once be ashamed
and glad to hear of
it.
To assist your judgment
on the question
of comparative sanity
I will just
mention before
I release you, that
it depends upon

of a small

and their guilt

Not that verbal assurances would in themselves be any security: not that even the act of such transmission could be a sufficient
security. I found it an insufficient one in the case of the Memorial transmitted by Mr Dundas in 1794 for the purpose of claiming
these: but in short nothing of the actual signature of the can give any tolerable security under the system of morality in this case to
when verbal assurances are added to written acts, this is all the satisfaction that the nature of
the case affords.
