The answer of course was not satisfactory: if it had been
there would have been an end to the tower of 600 Houses
with the two or three hundred thousand pounds worth of
needless expence attached to it.
Thus, and with so delicate a touch as to leave
a soil on Honourable fingers— thus, was Panopticon
blackened. What remained was to whitewash the Hulks
Rumours, to the effect in question there had been it is
true: but those rumours (Parliament was to understand)
were groundless. How was this established? In one or
other of two ways— either by avoiding to hear evidence, or,
after having heard it, by suppressing it. Accordingly
in this paper which calls itself a Report on the Hulks,
there is not a single examination printed: no not
an iota of information, in any shape but that in which
when it is to be had in the shape of examination,
information, as the Lord Chancellor declared and protested
in Your Lordship's House but t'other day, is not even
under the sanction of an oath fit to be received as evidence.
My Lord if it had not been determined not to have
evidence in the only shape that is not palpably deceptitious,
Honourable Gentlemen knew well enough where
it was to be had. I myself, without ever having
looked for it, could have named to them one person I
am sure of, and, if I do not misrecollect, persons more
than me to an official person had confessed the practice
