Number & allowance for building & maitenance
As to other convicts, it will depend on the opinion
of the Judges who try them, what number of them
it may be proper to confine in the Panopticon:
it is impossible to ascertain with with accuracy
accuracy the number to which they may amount:
but I incline to think it would be very inexpedient
to move such persons from the Country
Gaols, unless the crowded state of those Gaols should
render it absolutely necessary: for it would naturally
tend not only to check that spirit of improvement
which now so universally prevails (a) (a) For the universality in a further in Note p.. in the several Counties in respect of those Gaols, but would be the
means of the Gaols themselves being neglected —
by which by which means the greater part of the Prisoners
who are now or hereafter may be confined in
them would necessarily be sent to the Panopticon,
when the expences attending their custody must be
borne by Government (b) (b) and then a manner noted by him — by a part of his majestys subjects like traded instead of being defrayed
by the respective Counties.. (b)
