In this view, my Lord, your Lordship (I am
to think) will see some ground for
the opinion, that (setting aside in the case of New South
Wales the incompleat security grounded on the
illegal part of the punishment, a security which,
according to the latest accounts, is in a way to
be much weakened, if not given up — and of
which the degree, in respect of the number of
returners, depends in a great degree upon unforeseeable
and uncontroulable contingencies) the Hulks, pernicious
as they are, are at any rate a less pernicious
receptable for convicts than New South Wales: and
that, if the manufactures of grounds for
relinquishment could have been supposed for a
moment to have considered themselves as responsible
to God or man for the composition of their list,
or for the system of conduct grounded on it, a
more substantial ground might have been made
out of the unimproved and unimprovable
Hulks, than out of the so much improved and
be ever alike improving Colony.
