he was told of the

wilful) neglect of

Dispensing Power

3 1
The illegality of the
Dukes & King's exercise
of the dispensing
power could not
but have been
fully known to them -
they had full notice
of it. - p.1.

4 2
It was not a mere
so not a
honest misconstruction
of the Act. p.1.

5 3.
The Act has no
words in it on which
any misconstruction
could be put. p.2.

6 4
The Duke says he has
read the Acts - but
if this were admitted
as a proof of misconstruction -
any man
in his place might
overrule an Act of
Parliament on condition
of pretending to read
in it what is not
there p.2.3.

12 5
Weakness of intellect
no excuse -
He meant no
harm - that is when
he committed the
crime he did not
think there was
any danger of his
being punished for
it. - p.4

13 6
<p>All he chose to think
of was that he was
serving his friends
but he could not
but know that it
was by manipling
on the law. - p.4.

Dispensing Power

The Duke learnt from
Baldwin that the
only person who
could have to complain
of it was one
from whom he had
no danger to apprehend.

Baldwin's account
of JB. p.5, 6,7.

The genuineness of
it is established by
intrinsic evidence.
p.7

16 9. 18
1. Being a matter
of law the Duke
thought King alone
would be responsible
for it - as he took
no money for it -
& it was only to
oblige hid friend -
p.8.

2. Their best chance
for escape is the
ridicule attached to
the idea of a great
crime committed
by one personally
so little. - p.9.

18 11.
This plea ought not
to be admitted even
in extenuation -
Not only in itself
the offence was mischievous -
but as a
precedent if unpunished
it would be dangerous.
p.10, 11

7 12.
That the crime was
unnecessary since the
object of the conspiracy
could have been equally
attained without
it - neither
justification nor
extenuation. p.11

4. The crime might equally
have been committed without
the letter that furnished
the proof of it.
- but this proves
folly only but no innocence.
p.12

23 9 14.
The act might mave
passed as an honest error
if the criminal principle
had not been avowed
by the foolish letter. p.13

25 10 15
This no more than an
excuse than it would
be to a thief to say I
should not have been
found out if I had
not betrayed myself.
p.14

21 2 16
The act contains all the
ingredients of criminality.
1. Act requires Panopticon
to be built.
2. Panopticon unbuilt.
3. The Duke &c stopping it.
4. Sending
that should be put there.
5. Calling it in. mocking
a law of Parliament.
7. Knowing that there
is nothing in the law
of Parliament to
warrant it. p.1516

Taking money for it
would only have made
the proof more simple
but not the crime or
unfitness greater -
there are more species
of corruption besides
that. - p.16, 17

The Duke &c thought
themselves safe because
opposition
was quiet but the
time was not ripe for
the thieftakers. p.18
