7 Apr. 1802
Dispensing power

If the Duke is to be believed, this Act of Parliament
is absolutely an Act without an object object. I can
not believe either of this Act, or of any other Act
of Parliament that it was an Act with an ef object
the objet object an Act may be under as appear a proper one
in my eyes – it may may appear an improper one – but
of which which appears the most improper – I cannot
believe that it was without an object in the
view of him who framed it or of those who sanctioned it. I not only can
not believe that the of this Act that it was without
an object – but I can not believe of the Duke that
he believed it to be without an object. Let him say
what he will when he says saying this it is not in my
power to believe him. For the word assertion of a man who who
says thus, it is not in my power to fac feel any
more respect than to was to say however the Duke himself (how
hyperbolical soever the comparison may seem) than
the Duke himself testifies has expressed and testified for the law of Parliament.

If the Act had divers objects, it aught be supposed credible
if a man, considering the proposition in the abstract, that
he had overlooked one of them – the oversight that were
credible on the part of any man – I am ready to admitt
might be credible on the part of Mr King and the Duke
of Portland. But the object of Act in question had but is declared
in terminis by the Act in question: and it is but one obj single
object: and a more simple one – an object more incapable
of being really mistaken or overlooked – it is impossible to conceive:– the
bard "that a Penitentiary House or Houses .... be built
"for confining ... Convicts– "transportable and other Convicts".
