Police Report
Expence of punishment
N.S. Wales.
of the length of the term in each case has
its object and its use: supposing it not
to cease at any one of those limited periods,
but to be in each of those cases in fact whatever it professes pretends to be
for life, and supposing it this in contemplation
of those by whom such deliberations are
carried on all this is in fact but a solemn
mockery: government permitts in words
a punishment is given out as limited, while
it is intended to be perpetual: government permitts
in words, what in effect it has taken
care to be impo shall be impossible. Instances
may happen and as Your Committee believe
have happened, of Convicts returning after
as well as before the expiration of their respective the sentence
terms: but in this instance the faculty obtained has been as also/often as this has
happened+ the result not of any peculiar chance not
justice, has been the source and measure of the advantage indulgence.
Justice and the sort of security in view are
here altogether irreconcilable. Every such
return diminishes the security in the
same proportion as it diminishes the injustice
of one out of twenty returns is the proportion
that returns than the one case operates looked for security
is productive of insecurity is diminished by one twentieth, and the 19
other cases are cases of injustice.+
+ What is pronounced is a
limited punishment: what
is intended is a perpetual
one.
+ those who have
their terms the longest
are not those that have
returned the soonest: the
privilege faculty obtained has
been the result not of
any merit or other
title real or supposed
to preference: it has
been the power result of the
individuals good fortune
without any the
authority of the place
not having borne any
part in it: in a word,
+ Look at the Acts and observe
whether they authorize the
servitude?
