3. Panopt. Answer to Ford

upon the occasion, it only gives Mr Bentham
for his Penitentiary Plan, and that for a single
year in one case, and for two years in another,
what it is now giving to Mr Campbell, and
would continue to be giving to him otherwise, for
his Hulk Plan.

Mr Ford assumes, as it was very natural for him
to do, that of the £27,000, £15,000 was for the
Building, since £15,000 is the difference between the
£27,000 (the sum demanded for the first year) and
£12,000 (the sum demanded for every subsequent year
for the 1000 Prisoners): and an inference equally natural
was , that, as Government had paid that sum once
for the Building to Mr Bentham, it should not
have to pay that sum over again to his Representatives.
But no such line of distinction was ever
drawn on either side till now. Mr Bentham's proposition
was — "Land with a fixed price to it has
been appropriated to the purpose of a Penitentiary
"House — You give Mr Campbell £27,000 for every
"year for maintaining Prisoners on the Hulk Plan—
"Give me that sum for the first year only, I will
"buy the Land, I will find Buildings, &c. and for every
"year I will maintain the same number for £12,000.
"Here then you have the Penitentiary Plan for the
"first year at no more than the expence of the Hulk
