§.9. (1) + 77
§.9. Pecuniary Services rendered to the public, on the occasion
in question, by the Claimant, and the other individual
party to the Contract - his Brother - Set-off afforded
by these services to any burthen imposed upon the public
by the compensation - money.
The assurance under which, on the footing in question, I had
engaged in the public service, being nothing less than that of putting
the penitentiary business into such a state that at the death of the
survivor of myself and Brother, the employment of Convicts would, to
the public, be a source of profit rather than expence, (instead of
amounting to £40 a year per head, at which, for such as are transported
to New South Wales, it has been estimated by a late Committee) -
not to speak of the improvement which I had flattered myself with the
hope of becoming an humble instrument of, in relation to the penal code, -
my attention to which, for more than these forty years past, has been
made manifest by such of my writings on the subject as are already
under the public eye - the repugnance which on my part the idea
of finding myself, at the end of so long a course of labour, thrown aside,
in the character of a burthen, upon that public to which in so many
and such important shapes, I had been flattering myself with the
perpetually approaching prospect of rendering such essential services,
stands expressed, however inadequately, in my Evidence, as printed
in the 28th report of the Finance Committee of 1798: a document,
which, for the purposes mentioned above (I take for granted) has already
been perused by my Arbitrators.
The small payment of compensation, which, in 1800 came
into my hand, (August 1800 was the date of the first receipt)
by means of the purchase, which, at the expence of £12000, was
made of the land at Millbank, and for which I have now to render
account to my Arbitrators, was received and understood by me -
not in any such character, but in the character of a part of that
stipulated
