15 N. S. Wales
innocent wife or innocent children having, under a mistaken
confidence in the justice and humanity of government, suffered
themselves to be transported to this unknown region, should, by
the improvidence and injustice and inhumanity of men in
power, see themselves confined there perhaps for life, is indeed
a melancholy state of things: but it will be difficult to say
that the injustice, done to any number of individuals thus
circumstanced would be vedrified, by adding to it another of
the same kind. The solution of the difficulty is not difficult:
to those who sent those innocents thither, belongs in justice
the care and the expence of sending them back again.—
The more doubtful the course proper to be taken on this
occasion, the clearer the abominableness of the system, and the improvidence
and incapacity of those by whom it was contrived:
contrived without any known pretence, and afterwards itself
magnified in the talk of conviction, into a pretence — a pretence
for relinquishing a system without spot, clear of this as well
as all other abominations.
