Loss to the public
for want of Panopticon's
being dispatched.
I never do I hope I never shall speak positively
upon such evidence impute bad and indefensible
motives, where conduct is capable of being accounted
for upon good and defensible ones. But there are
others who are not so scrupulous: they will set down
the second £18,000 to his Lordship's account with as
little scruple difficulty as the first. When I say In saying to his
Lordships account, I do not mean to his Lordship's
account solely: it will be to the joint account of
Mr Earl Spencer on the one part and the Right Hon: William Pitt, & and the Right Hon:bl Henry
Dundas on the other. To save Earl Spencer
from being obliged to give up Land which was never
his, Land of which his Father was forejudged 12
year ago in course of Law, Mr Pitt and Mr
Dundas have joined already d made in making Mr Duncan
Campbell a present of £36,000 on pretence
of the difficulty of finding £13,500, which £13,500
moreover if found, would have been a present douceur to Lord Spencer:
over and above the £6,600 which in strictness of
law they stood bound to pay him. in strictness of
law.
<p>Sir, these are facts which will come out, and the
comments will be inseparable from them. You
will hear of them every where: you will hear of
them in Parliament - and what have you can any body find to say
to them?
