is taken of him by the Governor. By what means does
this happen? Conjecture, arriving grounded on the apparent
nature of the case, is all the ground authority I can
pretend to for

a price for him: to the end that, when arrived at this
place of banishment, he may be free. Is there any
thing to prevent any such bargain? At any rate there
is nothing in the Act: [so that should there be any thing
to that effect in a Contract of that sort entered into today, there may be
nothing to that effect in another Contract entered into tomorrow.
By the Act — by law — a Convict [+] can
