"I verily believe, to expend from the public purse
"four thousand pounds in any way more beineficial
"to the community than that which is here pointed out". *
Thus far the worthy Magistrate. - A supposition,
unquestionably though tacitly assumed in the hypothetical
offer thus made by him, is — that on the other
part some regard would be paid to the ruler of
common honesty; that the County would not be made
bankrupt to him, as Parliament has been made
to me: and that after his proposal had been
accepted, his capital with the concurrence of the
acceptors as advanced upon the faith of it, and Acts
of Parliament, if necessary, obtained for it, he would
not have to see the execution of it set down in petto
for the Greek calends, by any such person as the
predecessor of the "great person" he is so afraid of
flattering — not to speak of successors. — To the
not add to the County rates the worthy Magistrate's own imagination
(Your Lordship may venture to assure him) is the likeliest place for
finding what he wants. Years ago he would restrain vice & improve
without adding to County rates would have made his appearance
had there been any such person in existence. An Acct of
Parliament for doing all this — an establishment which in
the opinion of Parliament would do all this — would restrain
vice and improve morals without adding to the County rates—
has by Parliament been ordered to be set up for above these
8 years. Whatever be the thing needful join will to power
and the thing is done. Power for this there has been all this
time beyond dispute in a certain place:- Duty there has
always been: full knowledge of that duty there has always
been: — had will been in the same place the thing would have
been done years ago, & neither the worthy Magistrate nor so
many other people would have been left at this time of day
to amuse themselves with "hopes" and "expectations". —
* Here the worthy Magistrate is quite mistaken. "I can tell
