VIII geopardy 1+ ? In this dramatic age might not the recrimination scene
in Telemachus be re-exhibited in the Island of New South Wales,
between this man of all-work and his guardian superior in
office and in eloquence ? — got up as near as may be as it was
at the first acting in the desolate island its prototype when
performed by the discarded Ministers of the good Idomeneus ?
exhibited and with like satisfaction as well as instruction to the
lovers of practical as well as poetic justice ? —
No my Lord : the improved and ever alike improving
Colony , would not be quite so useless as it is if a pair of Right
Honourable Scholars , so well read in the red book of power, were
exported to it , and , with the black letter book of experience
upon their backs , sent there to learn as well as to teach a lesson
which hitherto they have been so much more engaged in teaching
than in learning — the nature , use, and value of justice . —
But why (I hear Your Lordship say) all these idle allusions?
romance in so grave and practical a subject! fiction — and that
not legal fiction — in an argument on a question of law! —
My Lord , there are uses in fiction : acknowledged uses : —
and one of them is to pave the way for the reception of important
truths . Does the fiction — does the feigned punishment go too
far ? — the truth , my Lord ? — the real , the legal , the impending
punishment goes beyond it . —
A still severer fate awaits them : Yes , my Lord and
their associates too , in many a lofty station , unless Parliament in
its wisdom , should vouchsafe to shew mercy to those who have
shewn none . I say Parliament : for the mercy of even the King
himself would here be as impotent , to save the men by whom
his power has been thus abused , as his justice was to save from
their tyranny the multitudes who have been sacrificed to it . — Be
