§.4 (4) + Of all these matters, a particular account and explanation could, of
course, be had of my said brother; Sir Samuel Bentham; by whom
every thing was invented and under whom every thing was performed.
In a mind so situated, it would be absurd to deny the probable
existence of a bias. But, by law, all claim that could by him have been made to compensation,
having, many years ago, in perfect sincerity, been made over
to me, and such transfer standing upon record in the Act of Parliament,
and his Evidence, in relation to every point that can come in question,
being, in a legal sense, perfectly good evidence, no reason (I flatter myself)
will be seen, why, in case of need, the Arbitrators should hold themselves
debarred from the receipt of whatever light it may be deemed capable
of affording.

On this occasion, so much having been said of the extent,
which, in the way of practical use & thence naturally in the way
of profit to the persons concerned, the inventions in question
were, in their nature, susceptible of, at the same time that, on
the other hand, it has also been stated viz as in the Act -
(52.G.3.c.44 ff.4) that "by reason of such transference" viz to the
purpose of the employment to be given under the Contract "to Convicts",
"no advantage" (from the Capital and inventions in question) "thereafter
"could or can now be reaped," Hence it is that, to a judicious mind,
viewing the matter from the situation in which it will be viewed by
my Arbitrators, the case may perhaps present the idea of an inconsistency
such as, until it be cleared up, may seem to oppose a bar
to any claim on this ground; at least considered as separate from
the ground of the Contract, as below.

To any such idea, expression will I imagine, be found to
be given, nor that an inadequate one, by three questions which I proceed
to state, together with such answers as the nature of the case appears
to call for at my hands, and the facts in it enable me to give.
