§ 8 Establishment
F.9 (a) This entry in Extract only.
F9 (b) When this letter which
See above Not true – impossible it should be so: unless
it were in the hope of finding in it what is not there
some words or other capable of affording a pretence for
the determination expressed immediately afterwards in the
docum words printed in Italics. See this discussed in F10

the County Gaols in comparison with the Penitentiary

he could make them hold – and none at all in the
Penitentiary House – that thus bid defiance to the
Act of Parliament. The That the word principally was not meant
to as an obstruction or exception to this plan, appears from what
comes after. It was meant to apply to the non-transportable Convicts.
See F.11. F.12.

and had therefore, at the expence in breach) of his word, as well
as of the obligations of official duty and natural justice,
evaded hearing from me [See F ]. What The object he did
