441 psl. - Orders of the House, examined the matters to them referred ; and have agreed to the following REPORT: Your Committee...
470 psl. - ... stated in the evidence, that most persons in this country, whether belonging to the criminal population, or connected with the administration of justice, are ignorant of the real amount of suffering inflicted upon a transported felon, and underrate the severity of the punishment of transportation. Nor is this to be wondered at, when it is considered that the penal colonies...

228 psl. - It has all the faults of an essentially arbitrary government, in the hands of persons who have little personal interest in the welfare of those over whom they rule who reside at a distance from them who never have ocular experience of their condition who are obliged to trust to second-hand and one-sided information and who are exposed to the operation of all those sinister influences which prevail wherever publicity and freedom are not established.
