Recapitulation

1. Illegal legislation
2. Oppression
3. Perfidy
4. The detainer was
not by mere physical difficulties,
but by
Special orders
from Pitt &
at home.

From the particular evidences above stated, the following one general
general conclusions result will be found (I trust) to result,
conclusion follows without possibility of contradiction: viz:
that in respect of the condition of treatment given to a great
part, by this time perhaps the greatest,
part of the population of the Colony, the whole system of the
conduct of Government Mr Pitt's Administration has been a system of the most audacious
illegality, added to perfidy and oppression: that the detention for preventing
the return of thous so many hundreds, or by this time thousands,
whose right by law to return is indisputable, is a crime
committed in breach and in open defiance of every one
of the laws of Parliament by which transportation for limited
terms is appointed: that this persevering and systematic violation of the dearest
one of the most sacred points articles of the constitution is commit
has all along been committed under the eye and the
instructions of the late Administration Mr Pitt, and his Colleagues,, by whom the
Colony was founded for that very purpose, according to their manner
of founding Colonies: that it is not longer now, as
perhaps at first, by a trick in an indirect way only and
by a trick (the substituting the physical obstacle of local distance
to the legal obstacle of prohibition and punishment)
that the object of the institution (the ridding the community
of its obnoxious members) is endeavoured to pursued but by
that the mask if ever it were put on,, had for these long eight or ten years been thrown off,+
and by positive orders, or instructions issued on the table of so many particular
Acts of Parliament, as well as of those general and all-embracing ones
which constitute the written foundations of those rights
which important of those the constitutional securities by which the condition
of British subjects became the articles important features of British liberty
are declared and secured cherished and secured.

+ and a system of
already illegal
legislation kept on
foot
