"I verily believe , to expend from the public purse

"to the community than that which is here pointed out". * * Here the worthy Magistrate is quite mistaken . "I can tell

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". —
