XVII. Hulk Mortality

place with an unpaid gentleman—with a gentleman to
whom because there were unpaid gentlemen to whom such
intelligence would (it was known) be as instructing, as
to the so well paid gentlemen it would have been worse
indifferent, if not worse than indifferent, the information was addressed. I speak
of Mr Nield, a second Howard, who with all the
zeal, with all the munificence, zeal and more than all the gentleness of his illustrious
predecessor, has thus spoken the word—has started noble
, and caused the mask of humanity to fall off from faces the faces
actors of higher rank, than those of the subordinate tyrants, when
combination of true -tryants thus it fell to
the lot of his predecessor to hunt out of their .

A private gentleman could point to Your Lordships
office: it required a Member of Parliament if not two to force the
intrenchments of it. There is mortality abuse, says one of them Sir Henry
Mildmay is raging in the Hulks: what can be the cause? there is abuse death there I wish to look into it I want to look
at it: Give me an order—an the order was put
into his hands.

Note J.B's intercourse with LP

On this score I claim to have some merit with your Lordship.
The cares troubles of Your Lordship's office. I have not to accuse myself
of any such infractions personal breaches of your Lordship's peace. For your my own sake
if my own sake for your Lordships I have never put to your
Lordship to any such trouble as that of forgetting me, or your
Lordship's papers to that of declaring pronouncing his Lord your Lordship invisible,
I was to not to learn that to ennobled guests a poor relation is not a
than an impoverished host: impoverished by what means passed in change
soever: most of all if by oppression the continuance of which had been given in together with the ends of office.

The deluge had scarce begun to subside when I sent a
dove out of the ark: the dove came fluttering back to me: but
no olive-branch was in its mouth. In plain English, the
General my Brother, after permission asked, and for a special purpose
declared though not assumed specified attended on Gratton Street. That your
Lordship was not at home to be seen by him though at home
was a message brought out to him by a servant: that there ever
would be a time when Your Lordship would be or might be at
home was not said.

By this and
other letters.
When I have been
troublesome to your Lordship
it has been by proxy; and
that proxy a spontaneous
one. First came four
words, now four letters:
same the value of words
and letters have been apparent,
Sir Charles has
acted the part of
Sheriff, and Your
the new made power has
in invisibility
with John Doe & Richard
Roe.
