So much for as to the law. Not as to the of the measure.
By the deductions drawn of reason reasoning from analogous experience, I had been
led to the persuasion that the institution of this penal Colony
was from the first, and will be to the last in a state of radical
and incurable repugnancy to every one of the objects points that were
or ought to have been the objects of such an institution establishment—to
every one of the ends of penal justice —example—reformation—incapacitation for first offences—compensation—economy.

From the first volume of Captain 's Journal those
as well as from other equally added to other but not less authoritative accounts, these presumptions had received already very ample confirmation.
A continuation of that history to the time of the latest accounts
has just made its appearance: and the confirmation
received from this latestsource testimony is ample and conclusive, to a
degree beyond what I myself could have myself imagined.

It appears to me that as soon as the illegality of the government of N.S. Wales were known or N.S. Wales which
I should take it to my business to take care that it should
be, all subordination—all government there would very probably be at an end,
if unless Parliament were to give it that legality which at present
is wanting: but that Parliament would not give it any
such sanction on any other terms than the putting an end
as soon as may be to a system thus replete with misery
and wickedness: both incurable—both in a degree without example.
Were I as careless of hum insensible to human misery and wickedness
as the founders and maintainers of that source of abomination
have shewn themselves for so many years, I should publish the
discovery immediately: As I think that not being the case with
many Being as I am I will be it will be my care, not to let any information transpire
of the till Parliament is in a condition to apply the cure
remedy.
