Table opposite page 81. "From the foregoing then, we may collect
"three indisputable and important facts.

"1st that the convicts alone, defray by their labor, every expence
"they occasion the public.*.. . *"In page 60, line 4, I mentioned that the money was simply "advanced by the public. This I find only relates to the vagrants and "arrived persons.—

"2ndly that they do not only support themselves, but pay the
"salaries of all the officers and attendants about the prison: and no
"money being drawn from the public funds, for the payment of
"their salaries, that they consequently save the government nearly
"the amount of them; for were there not a single convict in the
"prison, there must be a jailer and keeper, for the purpose of
"confining vagrants, etc.

3rdly that, above all, they enrich the public with the annual,
"clear, considerable revenue, already mentioned to arise from the
"profits or their different manufactories and trades in the prison. —

Page 33. "The expence of their [the prisoner's] detention does not fale
"upon the public. Since the estat state, which had formerly to support
"only the expences of repairs, and of servant's wages, (even before the
"establishment of the nail manufactories) is at this time burdened
"with no part of the expence; but has, on the contrary, an excess
"of income arising from this fund, which is thrown into the public
"treasury, to be employed in other public works."
