To Ld Sidmouth
6. To make way for this unlimited plan of expence,
on which the most undisguised contempt for of economy
not to speak of the pr say of Parliament itself is manifested,
a plan set aside under which the maximum
of the expence for everything was confined within determinate and
narrow limits.
The plan of management such that whole as involve the
whole business in so far as concerns the public at large
in the most impenetrable secrecy: while all individual
responsibility, and thereby all real responsibility is
extended: and for this purpose a department of the
Ministry having themselves itself and the remainder of the body
for its support: and to establish this despotism
a plan under which individual responsibility would
have been at its maximum, the indi manager being a
compleatly insulated individual without any other support
than what his own conscience might give him, set
aside.
8. To make way for this extravagant extravagance and corruption, a
contract⊞ adopted and recommended by the late Mr Pitt and Lord Melville, authorized by an Act of Parliament confirmed by another
confirmed by a Com on and strongly recommended by the most
Committee of the House of Commons, the most
distinguished that has the and efficient that were Finance Committee
that ever sat, confirmed by Letter from the Lords of the
Treasury and the successive Secretaries of State in a long series
executed in part on both sides, wanting nothing but that
formality, the omission of which was an act of unjustified
injustice and unjustifiable injustice on the part
of the official party, and of injury to the remediless
individual was after 18 years of unjustified and
unjustifiable d mysteries, unexplained, unjustified, and
unjustifiable delay, finally set aside: set aside by the
strong hand of power, by the omnipotence of Parliament
actors
for more declared
will and pleasure
without reasonable
cause assigned,
or assignable.
