N. S. Wales 4
of the legislator that [a transportation to this intended
Erebus Tartarus,] a banishment intended and hoped to be for life is authorized
under a sentence which in words suppose it
to be for only three years.
+ + not so for the Art 1779 does not number Botany Bay. Power is given to choose the place of transportation but that should not be so construed as to amount to an extension of the punishment. By the place of necessity they obtained from the Legislature power to the place: and by abuse of their they have confounded proportions, and changed just punishment into infinite.
It is certainly not contrary to law for a man to
Secretary of State to send a man to this intended
Tartarus under a sentence which speaks but of three
year. What Is it or is not contrary to law, for
in the case where the three years want but a few
days of having expired?
