11 June 1802

3. Incapacitation
Fraud upon the
legislature proved.

That the affections of the patrons of the Act of 1779 were very
anxiously bent upon the principal object of that Act
the Penitentiary Establishment I have occasion to know
and the Act itself declares expresses as much: that with those affections
there their views should have pointed to any such
discordant object as that of establishing an institution
applying to the same purpose a spot at the antipodes
removed as far as possible
out of the inspection of every body that was not sent
on purpose all mankind is repugnant to the principles
so often manifested by them in print.

That the Penitentiary object system still continued
to be an object and therefore I conclude the sole object
till 1783, I can not but believe knowing from the best authority, that
for considerations purely temporary it was at that time that it was laid set aside at
that time. Mr Rose+, in the conversation I have already had
occasion to touch upon) took assumed to himself the merit of
the suspension there put, and which though meant by
his their superior in office to be as but temporary, the reasons being but
temporary (the extreme distress of the Treasury before the conclusion
of the peace) was meant by him I suppose
to be perpetual: the reasons assigned by him to can
be such, had they been true in fact as apply to one time as well as another:
viz: the supposed enormous enormity of the expence: of it viz: in comparison
of of which a little further on. In the division
of that took in that same year took place in the distribution
of Treasury labour, the superior province of eloquence
falling to the share of Mr Pitt, the province of economy
fell of course to Mr Rose. To Mr Rose will therefore
belong, without dispute the merit of the choice made of New
South Wales with the merits of all kinds appertaining
to that choice

+ being already in that same
year Secretary to the
Treasury Mr Rose.
