Supplement Observations relative to the Power of Assignment mentioned in Article 1, Section 5 & Article 4 Section 10 of the Draught of the Penitentiary Contract | |||
The object of these observations is to endeavour to confession if necessary, in Mr (?) mind, the opinion of the propriety of the amendment he has been pleased to make, in exclusion of the alternative that had at first suggested itself to him. | |||
What the intention of all partied was is clear upon the face of the Draught: should the amendment fail in any degree of giving to that intention its full effect, the inconvenience will fall wholly upon the Contractors and not in any degree upon Government. Were the alternative to be adopted it would not be comfortable to the intention above declared, and it would clash very much with the General B’s views and interests as well as with Mr. B’s. Nothing but absolute necessity would prevail upon either of them to consent to it. The suggestion of the alternative, were it to stand, would refer the decision to their Lordships, who, after being perplexed by it for months, could do no otherwise than refer the doubt for solution to the source from whence it sprung. | |||
