have amounted to the sum of £210,352, making for the said
hereby intended number of 1000 Prisoners the sum of £233,724,,8S,,10d 1/2 ;
and according to the reduced estimate afterwards made
by the said Architects would for the said number of 1000 have
amounted to £183,652,,4S,,5d 1/4, exclusive of the expences of
fitting up and stocking the said Establishment ; all which
expences together , considering the usual and almost unavoidable
difference between estimated and actual expence , could
not reasonably be reckoned at less than £215,000 in the
whole; insomuch that the said Jeremy Bentham, whensoever
he shall have fulfilled the present agreement in relation to
the said intended Establishment , including the fitting up
and stocking of the same, may reasonably be computed to
have saved to the public to the amount of £200,000 out of the
said £215,000 at the least And Whereas the sum of £15,000 (being
all that will remain of the said allowed sum of £27,000 after
setting apart the sum of £12,000 for the maintenance of the said
thousand Prisoners for one year) is not by any means a sufficient
allowance for the expence of building , fitting and stocking
as aforesaid but only a partial allowance towards the same the
bulk of the expenditure necessary for the same being accordingly
made up or to be made up by and out of the private fortune,
or saved by the ingenuity of the said Jeremy and the said Samuel
Bentham or one of them And Whereas if such Buildings
Improvements and Stock were not to be the property of the
said intended Managers the encouragement necessary to induce
them to contribute by their own money to the improvement
of the said Establishement would be in great measure wanting
