At the end of the Autumn

and the only reason why more are not sent, that
in the present state of the Colony in respect of produce,
nor a greater number could not consistently

be received. Had it not been for this check, more
would have been sent, and though thereby the
annual total of expence would have been increased:
but as the fixed and general expences of
the Colony would not have received an accession, or
at least any accession equally gradual, the probability
in that case is that for some time at least
the rate of expence per head would not have
increased but decreased: except and untill in

a sudden one.
