16 Jany 1802 § II C 11
§5
if presentation ab initio:⊞ From the very of Mr unless it be supposed that the
compliment paid to Ld Belgrave, though not discovered by
it was me⊞ ⊞ till towards the
end of February, or
rather the first of
March 1800, had been
paid to him so
early as before the 15th of
Novr 1799, – that
Mr White had got
before that day got
his instructions
in consequence,
and that although
at the time when
the purchase of the
Salisbury Estate was
first determined upon
the intention of suffering
the money to
it never suffering
it to be paid to
me, had not
been formed, yet
that intention was
already formed, before the
purchase was compleated.
Unless this third
supposition be admitted, the The accommodation to Lord Salisbury was
not merely a collateral object nor was even so little as
the principal object, but with somebody at least, but
the sole object and final cause of the whole business
and of the proposition made on it to me by Mr Long.
I say, of somebody, meaning of Mr Long, Mr Ron,
Mr Pitt, some one, some two or all of them. As
to the choice among all these options, I must
beg here permission to have refer it with your Lordship, who
for aught I know may know more of the matter
than is known to me. On this hypothesis it
was determined ab initio that Ld Salisbury should
have money, and in the same breath that the Penitentiary
establishment should never have the land.
My own leaning is to the negative of this supposition,
were it only because it is of the two so much
the more unfavourable on me.
On the other supposition there was a time
when the the end in view is at least
one end in view on the purchase of this estate
even the making the lawful use of it: and for its revival if the
Penitentiary establishment was indebted more or less
to the compliment meant to be paid to Ld Salisbury
it might have been also at this time, had it
not been for the compliment to Ld Belgrave.
In what your Lordship has seen hitherto of
the Sollicitor to the Treasury Mr White, whatever there may be that may appear
extraordinary, there is little that can be called new.
In the seeing the understanding at the temper of this
favourite of Mr Rose's, the public possess a fruitful
source of interpretation, capable of accounting for
many phenomenon of this kind. A number of former
exemplifications that have occurred to me do not belong to the present part of the
history.
