Art. 3. And whereas the Proposal of the said Jeremy
Bentham which formed the ground of the present
agreement [+] [+] and in which said Proposer the said sum of £27,000 was required on the part of the said Proposer for the purposes aforesaid was stated delivered in on or about the 17th of March

£27,000, although at the time when first <add>stipulated for as aforesaid, it was</add> sufficient for the intended purpose,
