9 Apr. 1802 Inessentialia?
Dispensing power
and their posterity to from the everlasting miseries fire
to which he saw them doomed. When the without the
priority of his Royal Master the Duke of Portland of the present age sets up set up laws of his
own and beats beating down the law of Parliament – what
is his was the object of this hitherto but too successful and triumphant imitator
of so many unsuccessful Kings? – ⊞ ⊞ some wrinkled pitiful, minute microscopic object I protest
Your Lordship may perhaps know what – I protest
I know not – except that it was a vile and sordid one.
I have maintained stated proved what was the object – an object
at least – with Mr Pitt or the instruments of Mr Pitt the Treasury: This object may the
object of giving effect to a perfidious and illegal
promise. Perhaps it was through the Duke of Portland
that this became an object with the Treasury:
perhaps it was through the Treasury that this became
an object with the Duke of Portland. Who knows?
Who can know? who need know? needs to know for any practical purpose, of for any
enquiry or punishment? needs to wish to know?
A friend of Mr Baldwin's had a plan of his

of Portland to set up a establish in the plan of the "project"
that had been taken up, by Parliament
the Duke's predecessor, and by the Treasury, and by
Parliament. My evidence goes no further. There stops ends my my evidence stops Mr
Baldwin, in telling me of this plan, did not tell
me that whether it was for this the advantages with which this plan of his friend's was pregnant, the sake of this plan that
the acts authority of Parliament was thus to be trod upon laughed to scorn, and
the monarchy of the Duke made absolute. I never
asked him: such knowledge is too high for me. It is
or ought to be at Your Lordship's command at any time:⊞ ⊞ within the reach of one of the Bills in Your Lordship's office room, sits or ought to Mr Baldwin touch the bill my Lord and in his comes touch the bill, my Lord,
and Mr Baldwin comes, and rules in comes Mr Baldwin.
