Dispensing Power Many Contest.

Dispensing Power

1.
"Principally" refers
merely to the transportable
Convicts in
contradistinction to
the untransportable
ones- and the object
of the Act is supposed
to be composed of
such alone of both
classes as the Gaols
cannot contain. p.1.

1*
Circumstances which
gave occasion to the
project for making
use of the Gaols to
defeat the will of
Parliament in respect
of the Penitentiary.
under the colonization
& Hulk systems
necessity warranted
the making this use
of the Gaols for
time.- p.4.

2
But when the necessity
is created by
those who plead it-
and avowed to be
so- it constitutes
not a justification
but an aggravation.
p.5.

3. the measure thus
on the score of
necessity connived
at by Parliament,
the Letter sets up
an opposition to the
measure employed
by Parliament itself
to do away the
necessity. -p.6.

4.
-and this on the
ground of the Duke's
thoughts about expedience.
p.6

Dispensing Power.

275.31
Evil consequence of
allowing a factitious
necessity to have in
the way of justification
the effect if a
natural one-
1. It would have
justified Ship money.
p.7.

6.
2. It would have
justified the superseding
the authority
of Parliament by the
Crown in the case
of the Corn laws.
p.8

7.
What the Duke does
by making a scarcity
of room in the
Penitentiary House
is tantamount to
the making a
scarcity of corn to
justify the exercising
a dispensing power
over the Corn laws.-
p.8

8
The reasoning of
the letter goes not
only to the frustrating
the will of
Parliament in regard
to the future
measure of the Penitentiary
House but
to the overruling
it in regard to the
existing measures
of the Hulks. p.9

9.
The Duke would not
pursue the ordinary
course- that of coming
to Parliament for
leave to change measures
prescribed by
Parliament- as was
done in the case of
the Penitentiary Act.
-he preferred overruling
the measures
of Parliament by his
own authority. p.10
