not they will not, I hope that is not an unfair
one. If for example I were to demand £15 a
year per head (which I declare before hand I would
not take) instead of the £12, that is for the
thousand men £3000 a year for my life at least,
& perhaps for ever, would Administration be justified
in saddling the nation with that expence, merely
to oblige a set of individuals who cry out against
what has been submitted to without a
murmur by as many sets of individuals as there
are prisons in the kingdom?

Mr Long, who had not the circumstances
of the case as stated in the above Memorial present
to his mind, seemed to think at the moment
there might be no impropriety in such a transaction:
but as it was agreed between us that any
thing more on the subject addressed to him at
that time would be lest labour I spared him the
trouble of hearing the greatest part of what I am
sorry I can not avoid being so troublesome, Sir,
as to address to you.

In the case I was putting to Mr Long I
spoke only of the thousand men, for which by the
agreement I am to be paid at all events. But
what, if all the prisoners who would otherwise go
to the Hulks or to New South Wales were to be
consigned
