After an experience a trial of 12 years, it seems
to Your Committee not too early for the enquiry
for what special purpose and with a view to
what special peculiar advantage, this Colony establishment
is kept up: to form a parallel between the
advantage and the expences and to say what
if any whether any, and if any what shall
be the limit of that expence. A reduction in
the rate of expence per head to the Hulk price+ does not appear an
event either so near or so certain as to form
an ingredient in the mass composition of that advantage: especially
when compared with the Hulk plan of
which the gross expence is certain, and the clear
expence moderate, and susceptible nor altogether insusceptible of
reduction, or more particularly with that other
plan which promises to put an end to all expence
upon the extinction of two middle aged
lives.

The security held out by the difficulty of
return on the part of the Convicts is the only
advantage that strikes the eye: but the mass nature
of this advantage, the magnitude amount of it, the
certainty of it, and the price paid for it at
the expence of justice, seem not altogether undeserving
of enquiry: nor whether a security of
the same sort more at command, and more to be depended
upon might not be purchased upon less exceptionable
terms.

+ £10 or £12
a year a head
or some such matter
real expence.
