Panopt. Heads for Observation on Penitenty Committee Report.

A Committee necessary
to report that
contract ought to be
kept.

Use of a Committee
here finding a pretence
for the breach of
a contract.

This pretence made
out of a phrase

Why Committee rules
their Treasury? – Answer
Because responsibility
is thus done away.

If the House extinguish
Panopticon they will
sanction all the
committed for the
retardation of it, – beginning
with Ld Spencer's
sitting under the Act of
1799 as to his hand.

The House – they little
imagine how
long a train of perfidy
insincerity and corruption
and waste of public money
they would be giving
their sanction and confirmation
&c.

Their sympathy excited
by the not compleatly
unmerited flogging of one a
of one horse – it remains
whether it will be insensible
to a system of opppression
on through the
active part of the whole
life of one individual without
his reproach.

The plan pursued for
so many years for depriving
the and keeping the mind of the author in a state of depression and
mankind of inaction, and depriving
the country and mankind
of such services as it
might be in his power
to render but has not
been so compleatly successful
but that enough
will remain to pursue the
of through the
track of futurity the
names of each of his
whose situation
scarce to them their name a
place in history.

Curious spectacle – In the
private & in public
purse of the nation continually held
out to an individual
by the unfaithful guardians
of it – and according to
circumstances no other return
to the office but a
disdainful rejection, or
an equally disdainful
silence.

He will not make any
such profession of confidence
as in the present
state of representation
must would be seen by everybody
to be false. What
soever advantage may be is to
be made by any such hypocrisy,
he leaves to anyone
who may be disposed
to take it purchase it at that
price.

But if so it be that
at the time at which the
decision of the House comes
to be pronounced, a majority
should happen to be composed
of those whose chief dependence
is on the country
and not on the administration,
-stration, then it is that and that it should
happen to then be that
it worth their while to
attend to the case, then
it is that to the result
will he thinks be favourable
to him.

(Speaker Abbot the
Chairman) – his exact expressions
were by are not remembered they
were hyperbolical – they
were meant to be understood
in such
a course of cruelty
which had not its parallel
anywhere,
but the conception what was really
intended to be conveyed
and which had nothing
in it that was hyperbolical
– was – that
it had no was altogether without parallel
in the history of English
Government.

That course was the best
in the
it has since been more
than trebled.

To give consumation
to that cruelty as was the
object of that
to that Committee and
to the sort of Respect
which has been seen
made by it.

C. Long, by the necessity
of his situation
once at first the instrument
– became
an active and zealous
one.

In this example it
may be seen what
lengths men are capable
of going &c
