While the injustice is
compleat, the benefit
expected from it is
thereby incompleat.
26(a) Quotations
1. No care taken at
home for 4 1/2 years
to prevent unlawful
returns — care taken
then to prevent lawful
ones. —
2. Returns without
permission easy: return,
not settlement,
the general object. —
3. Table of returns
from Collins. —
27.
The use of the place,
and the security
afforded by it in this
respect, grows less and
less as the Colony
is in other respects
more and more "improved".
27(a)
Though the employing
King's ships exclusively
(ex.gr. the Glatton)
will diminish the
facility, it will not
put an end to it
while any private
ships are admitted.
28.
It is the most
pernicious and dangerous
characters,
that escape to England
is easiest —
1. the opulent receiver
2.the enterprising
burglarer &c
29
Panopticon system —
During the penal
term, its efficacy, under
the head of incapacitation,
is at a
maximum.
30.
Thenceforward, instead
of incapacitation, its
reliance is upon reformation.
31
The extreme oppositeness
to New South Wales in
every point of view on
which reformation
depends —
1. Absence of drunkenness
and gaming
&c total —
2. Religious exercise
constant. —
3. After the term of
punishment, eligible
employment certain
v.supra
32.
In case of a second
offence Panopticon for
life would incapacitate
for any third. —
33
In New South Wales
necessity drove men to
an application, however
imperfect, of the
Inspection principle.
34.
The Governor there, having
more power
than Parliament has
here, built a general
Jail for that island;
which was what Parliament
attempted
in vain to do for this.
35.
In a society, thus
corrupted by the original
principle of its
institution, the military
principle of inspection
was found necessary
to be applied even to
the Soldiery.
36
Death, a particular
mode of incapacitation,
in respect of which the
efficiency of the New
South Wales system
was preeminent. In
the voyage they were
more than decimated.
37
The fault lay not in
the Contractor but in
Pitt and Co by their incapacity
and inhuman
negligence — their bad
management, making
a bad system worse.
38.
Causes of the mortality.
1. Length of the Voyage
2. Want of interest on
the part of the Contractors
in the preservation
of the lives of the Cargo.
39.
Neither of these causes
of mortality had place
even in the old transportation
system. —
40
In the Panopticon
system, the opposite
causes of security are
at the maximum.
41.
Struggles which it
cost the author to
preserve to this article
its place in the Contract;
notwithstanding
the consent given to
it in the Proposal.
1.
Fourth object, compensation
or satisfaction:
viz: for the damage
by the offence,
for which the punishment
of transportation
was inflicted.
This, though it
ought to be among the
ends of penal justice,
is not under the
English law in the
case of transportable
offences. —
2.
Cause of this omission.
The profit to
the King by forfeiture
was the only direct
object of penal justice
under the feudal
barbarism. —
3.
Feelings, opinions, and
labours of the author
on this subject. —
4
His plan for introducing
the principle
into penal legislation
at his own expence.
His struggle with
the Treasury to keep
the article for that
purpose in the Contract.
5.
In New South Wales,
compensation out of
that fund is altogether
impossible; the value
of a man's labour
there being £46 a year
less than nothing.
6.
But the object will
hardly be denied to
be a desirable one.
7
— if so, in so far as
the Panopticon system
contributes to it, it
has the advantage
of the New South
Wales system.
8.
The compensation
with which the author
was amused for his
injuries, belongs to
another head and
wil be spoken of
in another place. —
