of these poor wretches, by they hoping upon the punishment designed for from which the a quantity of prodigious mass
this has exempted them in express words: human creatures
there by the law a prodigious mass
devoted by hundreds and thousands to illegal punishment – all
of punishment not designed for them by the law all
for the sake of the job for a friend of Mr Baldwins friend friend as the compliment
to Lord Belgrave.

Such at any rate must have been the state
of things, supposing the Dukes practice of the Office
not to have been in contradiction with the principles
that professed in it: but as the principles, being professed for form sake merely, and to serve the true illegal purposes of the nor ob for no other purpose than the getting rid of the
Penitentiary establishment, there being contradicted by departed from
practice in an case so may they have been in another:
and as, on the one hand, the Hulks have certainly not been starved,
so, on the other hand, by a similar inconsistency,
it may have happened that the Gaols have – improved
or unimproved – have not been crammed.

Thus it is that an inconsistency which would be a matter of
a disgrace and reproach to another means,
of the only refuge and dependence of the Duke of
Portland.

Thus it is that against on so heavy grave a charge – a
charge of such wide-extending, and persevering, and systematical
oppression – a plan an inconsistency which of
itself would be sufficient to cover a man with disgrace
would be all the only refuge that the Duke of Portland would have
to fly to for an excuse. Yes if I had really actually
kept them in the Gaols for the terms which for which they should
have been transported: but I never did, nor were means
to do what I professed professed to mean: nor from beginning to end:
my letter was a mere token of falsehood and imposture.
Such in substance as I on this head the best plea that
could be urged by the duke of Portland.
