A View of the Hard-labour Bill. - Supplemental observations hints and
in places provided for the public have been let out occasionally
to individual private employers. + Voyage de l'Abbe Chapper T. . p. Edit.<add>
The like institution,
prevails <add>I understand as in Warsaw. || By verbal information from Mr Buchak, Charge des affaires of Poland at London.
This plan if were it even adopted, need occasion—
no delay to the proposed Bill: it might
at any time be added by an Act on purpose.

that of serving upon certain occasions as a middle course between the punishment
in the hard Labour-houses and absolute impunity.
This cannot in the manner but appear, to be, what it is, much
lighter than the punishment inflicted in the labour-houses; since
it is to be in the convicts own option at any time to change
the former into the latter. In the case If therefore where
from the general ingenuity and good character of
this convict there is may be ground to hope expect that this upon
the intercepion/interception of his former master or other persons of repute
his punishment may be changed from the severer into
this milder made/mode a party injured may often be induced
to propents in cases in which were there no such other alternative
than between the regular punishment
and absolute impunity he would not avoid prosecuting at all.
Let us briefly run over this several heads of comparison,
and see in what respects it has the advantage or the disadvantage
of with respect to the regular mass of penal punishment proposed to be
inflicted in the Labor-houses.
One objection to it may be on the ground of inequality, that
it may open a door to this abuse of prosecuting may give room
to the convict by means to buy off his punishment altogether by
means of a master of his own choosing, under whom his servitude
