besides Debtors 211 , and persons committed for trial for
Felony 198, Convicts 318: of whom convicted for Transportation
283 , and of them only 31 convicted in the last
sSession : such is the statement I have just copied from
a memorandum taken by Sir Charles Bunbury . Supposing

there according to law , 252 kept there in spite of law : 252 ,

to be taxed by Your Lordship , in pursuance of
the plan of finance laid down by the Duke of Portland:
252 Convicts, who quite as much according to law, &
much more according to poetical at least , not to say
substantial justice , might be quartered upon Burlington
House or in Stratton Street.
