 N. S. Wales
as well as relative comparative, of the establishment of which for this
 purpose they were pretending to approve. In the several
 preceding sections I have laid before your Lordship that narrative
 corroborated by those documents by which it appears that the motives by which all this
 mala fides and duplicity have were been produced, have been
 motives of to the sacrifice the the well known sacrifice 
of the public interest in the main points in question as well
 as the public faith — were motives of a personal nature 
notorious to all who are acquainted with have of been privy to the history of
 the business — capable of being proved although they were 
 secretly confessed — though purely personal and as such dishonourable, 
sordid and unfit to be answered
This mala fides though it neither makes 
the Colonial establishment worse than it is, nor the 
Penitentiary establishment better than it is — is a circumstance
 by no means either foreign or even unessential to
 the purpose of this address. Whatever Act they have had 
power from Parliament to do, exercise they had a right to 
exercise, according to the best of their judgment. Whatever 
course they been pursuing throughout the course and in the relation to the
 measure business <add>progress of the affair</add> they have had a right to pursue, provided
 the pursuit of it was really carried on according to the best of
 their judgment, and at the same time in a manner not
 contrary to law: and whatever course they have been thus 
pursuing, their successors have an equal right to pursue
 in under the same conditions and limitations: so that in which case supposing 
censurable on any ground, it can only be on
 the ground of an error a mere simple error in judgment on which ground the
 same sort of mismanagement will be left, [+] [+] open to be practiced with equal facility and safety practicable equally open to repetition 
without fear of censure, as often as the occasion may happen to present itself.
