No plan 7 10
It was the
Penitentiary
of 1779
the Act
so to
distinguish
degree of punishment
that
they thus conferred
them

I have already had occasion to mention to your Lordship
the Act of 1779 - the first Penitentiary Act - as an act in
which the anxiety display'd about the proportions accuracy of the adjustment
between the different lengths of chronical punishment had stood
from parliamentary commissions. I have already had occasion
to mention this same Act as the Act in which under
the spur of necessity the power possessed by the crown of
the sum of transportation was for the first time confirmed created and
upon it. It is with this very act before them that
and under colour of this very Act that the friends of this colony
Mr Pitt and Mr Rose look upon those to convert all finite
lengths of transportation punishment into infinite. The
power given by the Act of 1784 the Act which in the Act of 1787
The Act their Now South Wales foundation Act they rule and
build upon, had been already given by the Act of 1779.
But they could not bear to look at it. They covered it
up they did by it as Greek or and Romish Sinners have (del>been observed on
certain occasions been observed to do by the effigies of their
Saints The Act of 1779 was an act of unfortunate
Justice and were the ruling factors of the Act of
1779: the of the result as I have had occasion to shew elsewhere was that quite altogether
correspondent to the of the endeavour: but, for
a point of principle, an act more truly respectable
was never touched by a British sceptre. Justice and
benevolence were the that inspired the Act of 1779: Oppression
fraud, anarchy and despotism were that
suggested the Act of 1787
