XVII Hulks
on foot for the whole of one year a whole year together (further back the evidence
goes not) in the Captivity, at the rate of near an eighth
of the whole number in that the compass of that one year—in the La
at the rate of near a fourth of the whole number in
the compass of that same year:—at the rate of
above
one half of the whole number in the course of the next
year, within the compass of the first quarter:—not to speak because nothing is ever to be spoken
of the circulated unknown and unpublished though ordered accounts of the three remaining
quarters: abuses and accounts carefully and abuses buttoned up in the pocket of the
gentleman on one side of the wainscoat, which the
Penitentiary system provided by Parliament to take place
of those the abuses was stopped, and the advocates of it put
off for months and almost years, by the Lord on
the other side of the same wainscot with and kept in high and good humour,
by hints whispers of approbation and false manufactured smiles.
In the fourth place, what the gentleman wants, whenever
a corner of the abuse happens to be dragged into light brought into view/poked into view by busy-
bodies, is a serum for it: for whatever abuse it might may
be the object of such a commission to bring to view light.
Witness the precise same sinecure this same blind Inspectorship, applied to this
additional useful purpose, without any trouble to the
Inspector, beyond that of existence: witness again, though
prior first in point of time, the previous notice given to the
Hulks, of the to prepare for the Visit of real inspection which they could
not be prevented saved from undergoing, on the part of those same from the busy-bodies.
