3 Apr. 1802
Dispensing power
thus wide of the mark is not possible – even to the
Duke of Portland: he scarce pretends to say it is: the
Act, according to this letter, is not to be simply pursued obey'd,
but improved upon and mended. The Act has
indeed been examined by him: the "object" of it is understood
by him. But what his conduct is determined
by is – not the Act tenor of the Act of to the words
of which he does not attempt to bring to view (for
this plain reason, that there is not a syllable of it
that by any mode of construction can be made applicable subsequent
to his purpose) not the tenor of any law but the inclination of his
"thoughts" about the abstract question of expediency
and "inexpediency". It is not that the stile Act anywhere
says that the Convicts whom he resolves to keep in
"the Country Gaols" shall not be "moved from" them,
it is not that the thoughts of Parliament in that Act or any other
Act ever gave the thoughts of Parliament the slightest intimation of to pleasure
that this instruction to look upon it as "inexpedient"
"to move such persons from the Country Gaols" –
but the case reason is that the moving such persons from the Country Gaols
is a measure which to it is the inclination
of the thoughts of him the Duke of Portland to
look upon as inexpedient – "very inexpedient".
Unfortunately what does not appear to him very inexpedient
or in any degree inexpedient, is that he
the Duke of Portland – without so much as the pretence
of obedience – should have it in his power thus to shake
off his obedience – and should actually have shaken off his
obedience to the authority of Parliament.
