VIII jeopardy 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
