N.S. Wales Conduct
V. Mischief
Recapitulation

the guilty cause:—that the actual mischiefs that actually ensued famine and mortality the
drunkenness—the idleness—the profligacy—the misery
in all its shapes—that these mischiefs, though imputable
as they are to the founders—amorous too as they are, yet afford notwithstanding
but a very inadequate sample idea/indication of the blame
that attaches upon the authors: since these actual mischiefs
are no more than the natural consequence of the
plan considered a report of the other parts of it, and are
not referable in any degree to the want of legal powers
a defect which filled being covered by imputation under
the auspices of necessity, failed altogether of its operation
for want of being perceived: and that universal distinction
having been averted from the their Colony not by them but
in spite of them, the blame that attaches upon them in
respect of it is in a true just and rational estimate as
great, as if the whole Colony had actually been swallowed
up by it: and that in as much as in respect of every
object that was or ought to have been in view in the formulation
of this Colony—reformation incapacitation from
further mischief—and justice and economy, the ignorance negligence
and ignorance displayd in the conduct of the
business establishment is are without a parallel—so it is in respect
of law.

Here might seem a proper period to drop a the curtain
on so disgraceful deplorable a scene: but there remain two
points to be touched upon, by much too important to
points to be passed by in silence: one is, the probable cause of so
extraordinary and so persevering a system of neglect: the other a view of the monstrous
compound of negligence and oppression, exhibited in
the line of conduct pursued, as the reference to the prevention of
the liberty of departure; from these abodes this scene
of horrors depravity and wretchedness.
