6. Conduct
Introd

The hopes to which I may have to beg your Lordships attention on
this occasion are a few words as follows

1. Necessary Legal powers omitted to be created. Consequence perpetually
to no legal provision made for the necessary powers of regulation. Consequence perpetually
impending danger of anarchy and ruin—Causes of the omission.
2. No care taken to prevent the return to England of persons convicts
forbidden to return by law having no right: care taken afterwards to prevent the return of persons
having a right to return by law+ Direct Contempt put by the servants
of the Crown upon the authority of Parliament. Perversion of the
whole system of transportation.

I. Powers necessary to the very existence of the Colony
omitted to be created. Powers of judicature the only ones
applied for and obtained from Parliament—Of legislation
no power whatever. Causes Consequences of the omission
Consequences Causes of it.

+ Legislative power assumed
and exercised by the advisers and servants
of the Crown.
Arbitrary extension and
provision of the whole
system of transportation
laws at one strike.

+ at first nor for
several years.

II. No care taken+ for securing to obtaining for the mother Country
a security against the return of the transported Convicts during
the only failure of supposed advantage looked for belonging in any
preeminent degree from the Colonial to the Colony establishment: viz:
security against the return of the transported Convicts
during their state of legal bondage i:e: before the
expiration of the legal penal terms indicated by their respective
sentences.

III. When Measures were taken at length on this view—arbitrary
and illegal tenor of these measures: the restraint extending
to all persons without distinction—but equally to
emancipated convicts—after the expiration of their terms
in direct repugnance to the several laws whereby those
respective terms of transportation were prescribed and limited.

IV. No care taken to place the Neglect of the necessary means for the condition
of the convicts in point of bondage upon any unsteady
and certain or consistent footing.

Present causes
1. Incapacity
2. Neglect
3. Criminal acts
