was – what was the object of the Duke – viz accomplishing
the object of the conspiracy that had
been formed among some acquaintances of his for

F.9. (d) Between "Peace" and "though", I imagine

that some words have been omitted: also between
"stock" and "will", others of which the place is here

number of convicts to be expected.
F.9. (e) Concerning the propriety of this contrivance
for promoting the spirit of improvement and bettering
County Gaols, see further on [ ].
F.9 (f) What the Principal Secretary of State
and his Under Secretary agree in understanding on
this subject is seems reducible to the following propositions:–
1. That the burthen by being transferred from one set of

2. That a means of reducing it, if not as good as annihilating it, is – to transfer it from
shoulders most unequally loaded– (the contributors to
the Poor and County Rates out of which the County Rates were taken)
to shoulders least unequally loaded (those of the aggregate
number body of his Majesty's subjects, taken at large.
3. That a means of placing it to properly is – to
take it off from the shoulders on which it has been
ordered by Parliament to be imposed – and to lay it
on upon those which, by so long it was the intention
of Parliament to relieve.+ + Reference a § dispensing power
