Evidence

The Hobby Horse was his own hand.

Not to speak of gentlemen at large and any one of them
capable of affording arising as a common demand of introduction or
reintroduction some half a dozen at least might be mentioned
of the class of public men to whom in respect the Penitentiary establishment in general, and the
Panopticon modification of it in particular being an objects
of known interest, and who having all of them the advantage
if in acquaintance with the worthy Baronet could not but
from them to him have conversed with him
upon the subject so frequently as it had happened to them
to do me the honour of conversing on it with one
Sir Charles Bunbury, Mr Wilberforce, Mr Moreton Pitt
Mr Henry Thornton: it is needless to look out for more.
Of these as from unless Mr Moreton Pitt be an exception
there was is not one that has not stood up declaring his
in of Parliament the favourite opinion entertained by him
as well of the Panopticon plan as of its invention.

As to Mr Moreton Pitt if so it be that he did not
do exactly this, what he did do was a great deal worse.

The same situation and incident produces different effects
in different minds

I cannot fairly judge between a favourite child
of my own nurture, and an untried theory of an ingenious
and inventive imagination, placed before me but yesterday.
in the instance of the worthy Baronet The
confession, though over and over retracted before as well as after its being
made is will be found no less true than candid. In the case case mouth of Mr
Moreton Pitt it would not have been have been far indeed true. He too
had a favourite child, German to that of the worthy
Baronet: he being his upon the peg, and became a
true father of man.
