Letter 3d
those very jails, in which (as his Grace had been informed
but the year before by the official Report
above quoted * * supra p.) the Convicts even without the benefit
of any such "crowding" as he consigns them to, and
for terms longer than the legal terms, are "emaciated
many" of them by "long confinement" and that

"must" (as he phrases it) "be borne by Government": i:e:
borne by the whole body of his Majesty's subjects - borne
by the fund but able to bear it —them — borne by the
fund assingned by Parliament. — expence
