as well as relative comparative, of the establishment of which for this
purpose they were pretending to approve. In the several
preceding sections I have laid before your Lordship that narrative
corroborated by those documents by which it appears that the motives by which all this
mala fides and duplicity have were been produced, have been
motives of to the sacrifice the the well known sacrifice
of the public interest in the main points in question as well
as the public faith — were motives of a personal nature
notorious to all who are acquainted with have of been privy to the history of
the business — capable of being proved although they were
secretly confessed — though purely personal and as such dishonourable,
sordid and unfit to be answered
This mala fides though it neither makes
the Colonial establishment worse than it is, nor the
Penitentiary establishment better than it is — is a circumstance
by no means either foreign or even unessential to
the purpose of this address. Whatever Act they have had
power from Parliament to do, exercise they had a right to
exercise, according to the best of their judgment. Whatever
course they been pursuing throughout the course and in the relation to the
measure business <add>progress of the affair</add> they have had a right to pursue, provided
the pursuit of it was really carried on according to the best of
their judgment, and at the same time in a manner not
contrary to law: and whatever course they have been thus
pursuing, their successors have an equal right to pursue
in under the same conditions and limitations: so that in which case supposing
censurable on any ground, it can only be on
the ground of an error a mere simple error in judgment on which ground the
same sort of mismanagement will be left, [+] [+] open to be practiced with equal facility and safety practicable equally open to repetition
without fear of censure, as often as the occasion may happen to present itself.
