I have now to lay before your Lordship in their several
details, the several distinct instances of breach of faith
by which the plan of perfidy, as above delineated, was
gradually unfolded and brought to light. The only declared
and ostensible purpose, for which the purchase of the Salisbury
estate was determined upon, was of course the application
of it to the uses of the Penitentiary Establishment: of this
