Dispensing Power

10
No measure however
good - not even the
Penitentiary system
could be worth purchasing
at such a
price . p.11

11.
The principle employ'd
as a pretence is
doubly adverse to
the authority of
Parliament - being
as adverse to the
Hulks as to the
penitentiary system.
p.12.

12
But as the Hulks
did not stand in
the way of the object
of the conspiracy
the principle
does not appear to
have interfered with
them in the application
to practice. -
p.13

13.
Parliament could
not be applied to
sacl sanction the
the Goals as a substitute
to the Hulks. because
Parliament had already
provided its
own substitute -
the Penitentiary House.
p.14

14.
The doing the business
themselves instead
of coming to Parliament
was the result not
of inadvertence but
of deliberation - and
as being necessary to
the object of the
conspiracy. - p.16

15
It therefore becomes
necessary to decide
the question of
authority between
Parliament the
Duke &c. p.17

1
The apparent
negatives put upon
the Hulk System is
not a proof of any such
precipitation as affords
an estimation
in the case of the negative
put upon the
Penitentiary System -
(the precipitating was
only in the mode of
execution - art in
the design p.1, 2

2
Blindness in ambition
is no excuse
for it p.2.

3
The blindness was
promised - not by the
consciousness of Ministers
cause but by the
persuasion of security
- considering,
as he did, the
support of his colleagues
as tantamount to law. p.3

It seems so odd that
at this time of day a
minister should lack
such conscience but
you see they could
not do

4.
The lead particular
reason to look upon
himself is secure
against the interposition
of Parliament. p.4

5
Standard of security
and insecurity different
in my case
mid the duties
p. 4,5.

6
My wish is that
the Duke as well as
myself pleased be covered
& protected by the Law of Parliament
- his is - that
Parliament not I should
be bound by his lien
and that I should be
without protection
p.5,6.

7
The man frivolous
the object for which
Parliament is continued
the more flagrant
the contempt.
p.7

8
The evasion of the
rights of Parliament by
the Stuarts, was to get
possession of the public
purse - or for the
declaration of Souls. p.7

9
- that by the D. of
Portland was for some
paltry object such
as the caprice of Lord
Belgrave
- or a job for some
friend of Mr Baldwins.
p.8

1
Objection or excuse -
the crime of usurping
upon Parliament
was an unnecessary one since
the same object
might have been
compassed through
Parliament.
Answer - So it
may seem from
general actions.
p.1.

2.
But in this particular
case no
The eloguims bestowed
on the plan
would have called
for reasons for the
relinquishment of it.
p.2.

3.
Calumny such as
that by the
Treasury could not
have expected to
pass uncontradicted
in the House. p.2

4.
Mr Pitts pride would
prevent him from
speaking in disapprobation
of
his own measure.
p.3.

4*
A sanction for the
Gaol measures would
have been still more
hopeless. The objection
would have been
as above with the
additional one from
the absurdity of the
measure. p.4.

5.
The Duke had nobody
to propose it
in the Commons -
King & Bladwin
could not serve
him here. p.5

6.
It is not pleasant to
Ministers to come to
Parliament for what
they think they
can do of themselves
without it. p.6.

7.
If the crime was not
necessary the unnecessariness
of it (since as
it was committed
would only prove
the to
guilt. p.7.

8.
Two crimes in
fact the exercize of
super and
despotic power - x
declared assumption
of it. The first
alone necessary the
other alone unnecessary
and foolish. p.8.

9
The apparent impossibility
of the
crime is thus done
away though not
the wonderfulness
p.9.
