Long and Forgery
12 May 1802
These are two very different distinct parties, to whom as many
distinct injuries may be seen to be done in the same certain cases circumstances
by the same act of forgery: the person to whose prejudice
in a pecuniary or any other way the imposition is practiced
and the person upon whom it is practiced. Among
individuals it is to my prejudice at least in the first instance
in a pecuniary way that the injury was done the
imposition practiced, by Mr Long: but it is upon
the Treasury Board, that is upon such of the Members
whose signatures or whose acquiescence was obtained
on the several occasions that the imposition was on
those occasions practiced by their Secretary. For no
inconsiderable part if not the whole of the time during
which such impositions were to be continuing to be
practiced, the Noble Lord Board had the advantage
of numbering reckoning this same Noble Lord in the number of among its Members.
By a proper examination of the Minute
Books it would appear whether on any one or more
of those occasions the Noble Lord was of the number
of the Members to whose injury in this way the
forgery fraud—the forgery was committed. It would
be a spectacle equally beneficial and instructive to the
public to behold his Lordship in his place in Parliament
making for the second time the application of his own
principles, and for this time to his own experience.
What mountains would not the sinner sinners call upon to
cover him them while, with the fire of his independent spirit independence
indignation and the thunders of his eloquence the justly offended
judge was hunting down upon their devoted heads the
reproach of this forgery.
