Class I

Parliament therefore and through Parliament
the public are thus left in ignorance respecting
the real amount of the waste and other mischiefs
in those instances; and so in so
many others.

Note also And note that the amount of the deductions
ever so small, still, if it be so long
as it amounts any thing it will serve as a warrant
for the application of the word deductions.
And thus by this oversight if it be an oversight, –
by this contrivance if it be a contrivance
– the greater the enormity of the
unmerited emolument, the more effectually rarer it is masked
the more serviceable the masks cloak is with which
it is covered.

By this oversight or this contrivance a
door is moreover left open for discrediting questioning the effect throwing discredit
in the exertions of any every person who on any
occasion, in any place, shall venture to
stand up and apply to the abuse in question
such comments as it may appear to merit.
If he as often as he has occasion comes
for the speaking of any such sinecure, he
takes notice of the deductions, the possible and
understood deductions to which it is perhaps
subjected, the effect of his is in constantly observations
is observed and weakened involved in obscurity. If he passes
them by without notice, then comes the cry
if misrepresentation – wilful misrepresentation,
want of candour and so forth the like. But
in some instances those deductions, as above
observed have no existence: in others they
probably trifling not worth regarding: in others again perhaps considerable:
and in every instance or at
least in many instances, the commentator,
being thus in the dark, and fearful of doing
injustice, will find himself hampered and
embarassed.
