J.B. v. G.3.
Now for a seeming inconsistency – a seeming act
of perfidy – nay even of treachery. I say seeming:
for such it was not in reality. – I have spoken
already of the Committee of the House of Commons
got up for the purpose of crushing the Panopticon
management plan and setting up the patronage
plan upon the site of it. My examination –
a ticklish operation – was however deemed a
necessary one. The object of apprehension was lest
after a course of personal injury to so vast
an amount carried on for more not less than twenty nineteen
years – for I am now at the year 1811 – in
the course of my examination statements &
comments on my part should come out
such of a nature to as might place the consent of all
concerned the Minister & the majority of the
Cabinet included in a light not altogether
favorable: Nay even who could be
assured such is the perversity of mankind
that the disfavour might not
on the part in the judgement of some ill-disposed
persons climb so high as to the conduct
& character of "the best of Kings".
