It is evident, that supposing the total annual
total of expence to remain the same, if the numbers
provided for increase; the rate of expence per head
will proportionably decreasediminish:: of the numbers provided
for decrease, and the rate of expence per head will does proportionably
increase: supposing the total annual
expence to increase, if the numbers provided for remain
the same, the rate of expence per head will
proportionably increase: if the number provided for
do not increasedecrease, then if the rate of increase per head
does not increase, or does not increase proportionably the total expence must
necessarily diminish. In this last way the expence
of this colony seems not unlikely to diminish
or at any rate, by the operation of
this case, the rate of increase appears likely
to be considerably destrained. In this state of
restraint restriction it appears formby an observation from
|| Appendix the Secretary of State's Office || that the convict population
AT the end of the Autumn
of the Convicts in Great Britain of this Colony has contained all along: it is given as the reason
and the only reason why more are not sent, that
in the present state of the Colony in respect of produce,
nor a greater number could not consistently
with security in point of subsistence
be received. Had it not been for this check, more
would have been sent, and though thereby the
annual total of expence would have been increased:
but as the fixed and general expences of
the Colony would not have received an accession, or
at least any accession equally gradual, the probability
in that case is that for the same time at least
the rate of expence per head would not have
increased but decreased: except and untill in
consideration of the growingincreasing influx of the persons to be
governed, any sudden addition came to be made to the number
number of persons to be
governed sharing in the government
ment as in the case of the establishment
of a m-post which addition
would of course be in some degree
a sudden one.
