1. Legislative power
none created
A power of legislation is a that sort of power which may well be
stated as necessary to the well being of every political community old
established or new-established. In their own country in former times, the
want of it has been but too frequently ans severely felt during the intervals
become . In a new Colony new-formed community—in a community not
yet been formed but to be
formed—such as that
which Mr Pitt with
his colleague and subordinated
looks upon him to
form—the existence of
such a power—or
at any rate the belief
of it may be stated as
necessary to the existence
of the political infant
Colony.+ The expedition
was fitted out—the Governor
was sent out upon it
and no such power was
sent out with him.
An Act brought in
by the Administration
had been passed for this purpose,
and no such
power was created by
it. Powers of
judicature were created
by it. This was For
the professed object this
the mode of it—The
were the powers
very says as much—
the creation of which
was the object and
the sole object of the
Act. Powers of legislature
judicature were
established: powers of
legislation none.
They brought their
into the world—they
exposed it to the wide
world, without the means
of containing its existence.
An omission thus fla
palpable—to what cause
can it be suscribed. Had it
presented itself to their notice?
—had it escaped their
notice?
They sent out the Governor or members of the Colonial Government
without the necessary powers of legislation.
Thus abject was their deficiency
