{Suppression}

Suppression.

1.
The difference between
mala fide suppression
of documents and
Forgery lies not in
the mischief but
in the article of
punishment and
that of faculty of
proof.

2.
In the instance of
J.B.s supplemental
Letter of 20th June
1800 & Boards Letter of
reference between that
and the 27th it would
be a point to pronounce
upon whether the
suppression was
bona or mala fide.

3.
Proof of mala fidis
in ther suppression
of J Bs supplemental
letter of 20 June 1800
(if suppd suppressed)
its putting a flat
contradiction on the
pretended increase
of terms.

4.
Can put to shew
the points of agreement
& disagreement
between mala fide
suppression & forgery.
1. Obliterative forgery -
If instead of suppressing
the entire letter
(20 June 1800) supplemental
to the Memorial
Long had obliterated
the saving Clause to
a like effect in the
body of the Memorial
the effect would
have been the same.

5
2 So also by creative
Forgery the same
effect might have
been produced.

Think of the materials
that mans
heart must be
made of who being
omnipresent
when having events
at his command
- and having the
choice of means -
chooses in preference
a course of
eight years perfidy

---page break---

Perfidy

1.
The ignominy of
perfidy is not incurred
wantonly
nor without a
specific motive by
any body - nor in
particular was on
the particular
occasion in question
by Pitt Pitt.

2.
He had a particular
& cogent reason
for it - the fear
of putting hs
habitual messmate
Ld Spencer out of
humour. -

3.
Of Ld Spence's opposition
J.B. has
the proof in his
Lordship's hand.

4.
Had it not been
for that cogent
reason JB admitts
that Pitt would have
carried the Establishment
into effect.

5
Pitt would no
more have broken
his word than
he would have
concurred in the
exercise of legislative
power if the object
of the conspiracy
could have been
effected otherwise.

Perfidy.

6
If a man were
uniform in the
breach of his promises
it would
come to the same
thing as if he
were so in the
observance of them.

7.
The influence is -
not that Pitt breaks
promises so often
as he keeps them -
he breaks them
no oftener than it
answers the convenience
or fancied
interest of the
moment. -

8.
Had the uneasiness
from the shame
of having broke
his promise ever
surmounted that
which caused his
breaking it - he
would have
repented & kept it -
this was JBs
chance.
