N. S. Wales
if they knew any thing, they knew it could not legally be done:
a to the constitution was therefore included in their
measures for what reason is, I trust, by this time pretty well
out of dispute. —
To assist the judgment in its conception of the degree of the
enormity, an example, such a neighbouring Country affords,
an example, similar in kind, how short soever in degree may
not be without its use. —
By the French Directory, a number of persons, known
enemies to the form of government existing in that country, were,
for that enmity, without trial, sent to French Guiana, an old
established Colony, where they were confined within the limits
of the Colony, but not in a state of bondage.
By William Pitt, a number of his fellow subjects already
ten times as great, and destined continually to increase — unformidable and unconnected individuals none of them so much
as suspected of any enmity to government — mean wretches
convicted of nothing beyond petty depredation — were sent to
New South Wales, a then unpeopled waste, at thrice the distance
of French Guiana, there to be consigned to bondage: sent
indeed according to law, but in the design of detaining them
contrary to law, and for life: — and in an unlimited proportion,
and for unlimited times, after the bondage had ceased to
be legal: — and in a country vaunting all the while its justice,
and its constitution, and its liberties, this design has not only
been carried into execution, but persevered in, persevered in
with open eyes, and by fresh and repeated acts of perfidious
cruelty, for these ten or twelve years. —
