To crown the whole—and that nothing might be wanting
that could help to prove demonstrate the compleat inefficacy and inutility
of the character every thing that is peculiar to
of the penal colonization system—one of the latest of its improvements
has been the transplantation importation of the Hulk system
from the Thames. By the dispatches dated. In August 1801, the
Supply (we are informed by Liuet Col Collins)
according to the dispatches of that date, the Supply was
"fitting up as a hulk, to receive such convicts as were "incorrigible". II. 330.
+7 At this time, the Colony at the expence of £3954, the Colony
had been put in possession of what is called a the county Gaol: a convenient
sort of a building, which besides that its standing use in that character serves occasionally as a bonfire. That same Gaol the ( Gaol physical discussion about
identity was apart) had served once in that capacity already, as well as
another at Paramatta. II. Collins pp.197, 276, 334.
The country is particularly
favourable to such exhibitions. Things take fire there of themselves:
[II] Collins 72.]—a function with a Civil assistant.
+ To avoid employing prisons
and hulks, expeditions
a is spare, and expeditions
are fitted out to employ
Convicts in farming at
the antipodes. When In
the course of a few years
they get there it is found
a discovery is made that
drinking is preferred to
labour, and that nothing
is to be now done there without
hulks and prisons were there nothing
is to be done: through
idleness in that situation must for want of
appropriate work be the unavoidable
accompaniment of the
confinement in such a
situation, profitable labour
while profitable labour rendered
so impossible: and it is
this combination of forced idleness
with universal unbridled
drunkenness, that is giving
not only so no one "improved" system, and
but to such a degree improved
as to justify the of a system of sobriety and industry, that would be as to have been carried on and hence at a small fraction of the expence.

Conclusions
This of N.S. Wales
the best imagined
ground of relinquishment
in respect of
obscurity.
Among the fair grounds of relinquishment for the relinquishment
I mean of the proscribed Panopticon system—Lapse of time—encrease
of terms and improved persons and improved Colony—
this last to do justice to it is in a certain point
of view, beyond all comparison the best imagined.+ The
expectation was and certainly not altogether an unreasonable
one—that in the wilds of New South Wales
and amidst in the thick darkness by in which the land had
been so anxiously covered under the veil of office with so desperate a perseverence the patience
of the readers and even of the writers, would might be bewildered
and tired out. But, so So far as the read writer
is concerned, it has fared with this as with so many other hopes the hope however has not been verified:
and what was not sufficiently considered and what was not foreseen was that on the those inhospitable shores
of that savage inhospitable land to which the investigation of injured
eyes was thus attracted, there were rocks and breakers
on which it might be seen discovered that not probity only, but reputation had been wrecked.
[on which the the reputation of the founders and supporters
might be wrecked,] not to speak of things dearer
than reputation had been wrecked.
+ Destined as they all were
to the thickest invisibility
to be invisible to all
but the most thoroughly
prepared eyes the marks
of perfidy and self-condemnation were upon
stand are stamped upon
the two first so glaring
as such glaring character
that he that runs might
read them. The two
last, but more especially
the last of all, were
a compleat jungle.
Roads must be cut
through them before
they could so much as be looked at
to any purpose.
