Waste & Peculation

Peculation in toto -
public - what
2.
Peculation - in toto -
private - what.
3.
Peculation pro rata
what - worse than
in toto under equal
gain. -
4.
Substituting to lesser
public burdens
that would be
imputed to a man
- greater that would
not be imputed to
him - a particular
species of public peculation. -
5.
The mischief is here
the greater because
there is no punishment
to repress it.
6.
Thus King & that
this Duke secretly
increased the public
burthen to accommodate
the conspiracy.
7.
An honest & wise
Statesman feels &
thinks as much
of burthens not
imputed to him. -
8.
Temptation in respect
of peculation to which
in the case of Wise's
Land the Treasury had
exposed itself - The
option lies between this
& greater abuses - between
the waste of £5000 & the
waste of £12.000 & £9.000
together with all the benefit
of the establishment.

Pitts sacrifice of
Battersea Rise to
Ld Spencer in 1794 -
whence as J.B. had
shewn the difficulties
of taking other
land by the compulsive
Powers
most of it at his question.
Pitt secretly determined
to sacrifice
the establishment
itself. -
It was given as a mark out of

J.B.s arguments
though they prevailed
on that occasion
on Dundas were
afterwards used
against him by
Long.
11
From thence forward
Long &c spoke of
the compulsive powers
as uninforeceable
12
Even at the Board
on J.B.s examination
in May 1798 it
was observed with
affected candour
that Battersea then
ought to have been
the place - though
it was too late then.

Hence an inexhaustible
of objections
to any spot.

(Waste & Peculation)
14
Accordingly Wise's
apparent repugnance
to accept a fair
price was employed
as a source of difficulty
by Long in
his discussions with
Nepean.
15
Nepean rather
than witness the
still greater waste
would have concurred
perhaps
in this waste.
16
This waste Long
was prepared to
join in had he
carried the establishment
into effect. -
It is only by a
confession of treachery
that he can
wash himself clean
of peculation - So
in the case of the
extra expence from
his plan of buying
out the Leases.
17
J.B.s plan was to
have concurred in
the waste at the
time through necessity
& afterwards to
have taken the
sense of Parliament
who should bear
the damage.
