time. This defect in itself is something, but in comparison it
is as nothing. For what power has he any than a Convict,
from the instant his legal term of transportation
is at an end. So that The very persons for whom the
Laws of Britain were not strong enough, are sent to
a wild country in the antipodes to be turned loose to live without
any laws: to live without any laws, in the face if they
please, of a Governor who by his commission in virtue of his hopes with the
and his fears grounded in it is himself most strictly
bound by laws.
Hard enough so much as to conceive in theory
a disorder like this is by much too hard endured conceived

with or without an illegal instruction from the Privy

of an Act of Parliament.

of the strong beast. Out of that state of things which
is revolting to the sense of every real lover of the British
constitution, came forth the looked for treasure dainty which was sweet
to the sense of Mr Pitt, the then young broker youthful Minister. and which was Your Lordship will
see ere long what it was recommended rendered it to his palate.
which relishing [a] that made it to his taste.
