Police Report
Expence of Punishment
N. S. Wales
Error Causes
The errors Your Committee may finds has found it
necessary to glance at, should they be found to
be errors come under that name , are too general not to be venial:
but Your Committee cannot but be apprehensive
that in the planning of this peculiar
species of Colony, calculation had bore took rather too
small, imagination rather too large a share.
The amusement of the few appears to have received
rather more attention, the burthen upon
the many rather less than sound policy, or
to speak plain strict justice, had it been consulted, would would have prescribed. approved.
New Colonies were to be planted and
planted upon a new principle: the boundaries of
the known world set back, his Majesty's dominion
set back. His Majesty's empire, (confined
till then to within the four great divisions once termed quarters of the world globe)
extended, extended over a fifth: lakes, rivers,
mountains were to receive lustre
from, and to reflect it
back on
were to be illuminated by and to reflect reflecting lustre
upon, great names: the treasury of science
to be enriched by far-fetched rarities. These, perceived
or unperceived in by those on whom they operated,
seem to have been the ruling considerations
to which the foundation of this colony appears
to have been principally if not wholly indebted for its existence foundation :
even trade the common source of
illusion in these cases does not appear to
have presented itself. for as to punishment,
it surely could not have been supposed, that
the faculty of administering it in whatever
true proportionsed should be deemed just and proper
ones, was not to be obtained, without travelling
to so vast a distance, and paying for it at so
high a price.
