To Ld Sidmouth

Oh but (it may be said again) – and something like
it has been said – So rapacious are you, that before if
the profit is left in your pocket, before it is possible you should be removed there is no saying
what a quantity of ill got money you may get,
and in the getting of it, how can yo about a quantity
of mischief you may do.

My Lord – I am up to ready for that again: not a
of the money shall stay with me. My accounts
shall be published from him with whatever degree of
dispatch and in whatever degree of Your
Lordship may be pleased to appoint – and my service
such as it is, shall be purely gratuitous.

To be sure in exacting such terms of me – in accepting
of such terms from me Government will would break its faith with
me once more? But so far as my experienced regards me I am extends
what would there be, in that breach of faith or in
any other breach of faith; would there be more other than
its ordinary course a of cause of dealing. My whole suit has
been so far as depends upon myself has been for these twenty years and is
still is devoted to the cause and service of the prisoner,
if to give me the prisoners to me upon these terms would
be an injustice, not to give them to me even upon those
terms would be a much worse still more crying injustice.

Without the promised reward to be sure I should
not serve the prisoner or the public quite so well as
with the reward – Why? because I am not so totally
unlike all other men as not to receive experience alacrity from
reward as well as for depression of spirit more or less
from the oppression such as that with which my cup has
been filled for these last twenty years.

But still even under such terms I shall should serve both those them
and no persuasion was every much further from a boast – ⊞ ⊞ still useless a course of application of above 34 years continuance is of no merit, or seems extraordinary and indisputable degree of if be on specific grounds imputable to me I directed serve them better than any other person and above all
better than any assemblage of persons that is at all likely to be
put in my place.
