Dispensing power
on his application we granted him. Is is in fact
established yet? If not, why not? There is your the
already – why & for you which we
gave you – why have not you made us of it?
Questions like these were such as could not but
be expected – and such as the Duke and his
confederates understood full well the impossibility of
finding a decent answer to. Mr Baldwin and
Mr King could not do as nothing for him here.
If any body could have helped him in that plan it would
have been Mr Pitt or and Mr Dundas. But shame
the fear of shame concurred with pride in preventing
either of these personages from eating
their own words, and applying to Parliament to rescind
their own measures without the shadow of a pretence,
measures which after four years deliberation they Mr Pitt and his Board had
declared themselves disposed to carry into effect whenever it could be done, and
which they had been censured for not having carried
into effect by the Committee of Finance.
Of the two establishments measures approved by Parliament, the
one which it was his the Duke's particular object to defeat – is
not the only one which the principles advanced by
him would defeat – necessarily defeat it being had he been secure
in his profession of those principles – had it been his
intention any further than was necessary for the defeat
of the Penitentiary Establishment, to carry them into
practice.
