" The c arse which the Government pursued was this—they allowed four of the party to return after a transportation of two years, during which time they were to have their liberty in the colony, and the Lovelesses were to remain fur the period of seven years, they also having their liberty ; but, upon further consideration of the question, I felt myself justified in recommending the Love- lest:es to the con,ideration of his Majesty, and his Majesty was graciously plea,,ed to remit four years of their sentence ; so tl.at, in fact, I do not see how more rot. d be expected."
