Polit Prospect 6
Expence of Punishment
4 N.S. Wales
The expence on the Note. Kings Ships (Sirius, Supply
Tender, Guardian and Gorgon) having ceased at
an early part of the period partly (by wreck or other
causes) it may seem that this part portion of the expence
ought not in any part of it to be carried to the
account of any years subsequent to the times of
their having having respectively ceased to be employ'd,
much less to the account of any new now future
years as yet to come. But these being expences
attending the foundation of the Colony must be
carried on for a proportionable part of its subsequent
existence: as in the case of a Penitentiary
House, the any expences resulting from this be a defect
in the foundation must would be to be carried to the account
of the capital expended on the Building. Vessels
being so much less durable than Houses, and
the expences of repair and renewal so much
greater, a proportionably higher rate of interest
must be allowed for capital disbursed in the
former case than on the latter.
The same observation applies to the Ships
Reliance and Supply purchased for this
service. In the extent amount of the amount of the
burthen actually felt in the year 1797 this
average article of £11,718: 8s: 8 1/2d could not with
propriety be inserted: but the propriety of the insertion
is unimpeachable in an estimate in which
the expence of this year is given as a sample basis
of calculation for of what may be expected in regard to the expence
of future years. For sooner or later the vessels
employ'd being unfitted for service either by accident
or natural decay will require either to be changed
or to undergo a repair little less expensive than a change and [+]
[+] and then the accounts of the year in which that sort of service ceases to be performed will as was the case of the year 1793 be loaded with an extra charge which in an estimate of the probable average expence of future years will require in like manner to be distributed.
