N.S. Wales Illegality

9 Jany 1803

Beginning

In an examination of the system of government pursued in the government
of the Colony when founded, the laws passed, as they purported to be, passed for the foundation of it, could not remain long unnoticed long remain unnoticed. Astonishment
to a degree beyond altogether not to be by recollection, was the result of the very first
glance. Compared with the boundless amplitude of the superstructure,
the scantiness of the basis foundation presented such a contrast
exhibited other a colossus mounted upon a straw. Such is the
impression—such the discovery, of it to presented themselves a view
been laid for the exercise of those powers. At the
very moment of confrontation—the contrast to be
ideas—the scantiness of the foundation compared
with the amplitude of the superstructure gave birth an struck
with a veneration of surprize—such as I seem to remember
to have ever before experienced. It is to this

An additional, perfectly distant and indeed widely
distant object of research and anxiety from thenceforward now stood

and objects, as well and acute in its effects sting, lost more and more of its importance,
when compared with the injur wound that appeared to have given
through the vitals of the constitution, to the whole body
of the state. The sensation felt produced was such as I
can conceive to have been produced, on the part of
a considerable portion of some of the most jealous
lovers of that constitution by the use made in the
case of Wilke's case of General warrants before the illegality
of the power so assumed had been fixed by recognized by judicial decision judicature.
