A View of the Hard-labour Bill
who is should be in a state of private servitude is would indeed be equally
within the reach of pardon with those who are should be in the
labour-houses; but he would not however stand on equal
chance of being pardoned upon equally just grounds.

law will lose its force by being seen to be frequently remitted. On this account it is almost
