Sinecures
To Objector Insincerity? no, Sir: – no insincerity in the
case. Falshood: yes but a more innocent one, unaccompanied
with deceit unaccompanied with any reputation,
unaccompanied with so much as one any intention, of deceiving any body.
For howsoever the case may have stood at some former
period, all possibilities is has been at an end later may however
you please, all possibility of deception has been at an
end, ever since it has had a place in the any
list of Sinecures, made public by an Order of the
House of Commons.
I answer – If the insincerity be now absent
the absence of it is at any rate of very d recent date.
Take any one of these the list of Sinecurists, and Suppose that since the publication no insincerity is he has not in respect
of his sinecure chargeable upon him, been example before and the publication
he was not the less chargeable with it. And
of his present exemption of from the charge, to by what cause is it
owing? not to any change on his part,, but to a change
in quite another quarter: not to his ceasing to tell
the thing which is not – to call himself or suffer himself
to be called the person he is not, but to this only
viz that of that which he continues to give men to understand
as before the falsity has been rendered so notorious
that nobody has to is now deceived by it.
