8. The sum to be advanced, as above, for the Temporary
Establishment, to be sufficient to afford room
for 2000 Prisoners, at £7: 10s: 0d per head:
viz: £15,000. The number of those existing, in the
Jails and Hulks together, at the time of the Returns
printed in the 28th Report of the Committee of Finance,
appears to be short of 1900: but some room
for contingent additions must be made; and, for as
every further number far as two or three hundred beyond the 2000, I would
engage to provide at the same rate of £7: 10: a
head, without any additional expence as that of another Penitentiary House
on purpose.

9. An official intimation to be given me (and I
hope no reason will be seen why it should not be
given to me forthwith) that the three months notice
requisite which under the terms of the existing Hulk Contracts
is requisite to be given, so soon as I shall
have declared myself in readiness, or made it appear that I shall be in readiness to take possession of
the Prisoners, either on the Hulk plan, or on the Temporary
Penitentiary-House plan, by the expiration
of that time.

10. In regard to the choice of a spot for the
proposed Temporary Penitentiary House, I would beg
leave to submitt to you, Sir, the three following options:
no one of which would (I flatter myself) be found
incapable of being carried into execution.
