Still, I have been under
the impression that my duty as
Justice,
visiting
when I was
so discharged,
careful to enquire of each prisoner whether he had any
complaint or statement to make

I gave every

In the time at
my disposal,
it is quite impossible for me
to enquire into the sentences
of
prisoners,
nor could I,
being
responsible for several hundreds
unless all complaints
were made to me, or much attention otherwise directed to a particular
Case, examine into the manner in which the punishments are carried out. I was
unaware
that
it was the Province of a Justice of the Peace to go minutely
into such
details, but believed it was rather
the
duty of the executive; else I should not have accepted the responsibility, notwithstanding my anxiety to perform faithfully and to the best of my power, every duty of a citizen.
