it similar perpl reduction – and its consequence with it a
similar perplexity – attends the case of confinement
in the Hulks.† † §.27 A convict whose punishment had
he been transported would have endured for fourteen years
the punishment of this Convict if confined for the whole
time of it on in board the Hulks, is to last but seven
years. According to this proportion, one every day, passed on board
in Hulks takes for is equivalent to two days passed in a state of transportation.
I have heard it said – I know not with
what truth – that a Conv instances of have happened
where a Convict, after having passed a certain portion
of time on board of a hulk, has been afterwards
conveyed to transportation. In this case in computing
the time remaining to be passed in a state of transportation,
has each day thus previously passed on board a Hulk
has it been for two days, or only for one?
The two quantities being so easily commensurable, the
computation in this case could not have been attended
with much difficulty. But in the ca another case
the times instead of being as 14 to 7, that is as
2 to 1 – are as seven to five: 7 to 5: and in this case
the intricacy would not be inconsiderable.
Armed with the sword of lawless power, or hand
like that of the Duke of Portland's, would experience
with embarassment form any such entanglement knobs as these.
But leaving the Duke that most Prince to take Alexander for his
model, your Lordship – I am inclined to think – would
give the performer to Aristides.
