text_original: Lord Durham saw no better way out of the difficulty than to impose a sort of exile on those who admitted their connection with the rebellion, and to prevent by the threat of a severe penalty the return of those who had already fled from the colony. His amnesty measure was large and liberal ; but he did not see that he could allow prominent offenders to remain unrebuked in the colony ; and to attempt to bring them to trial would have been to secure for them, not punishment, but public honour.
