Amended from the Notice alluded to in the above letter.

Notice is hereby given
In pursuance of the
standing order of the
House of Commons of
the... of... 1774.
that application is intended to be made to
Parliament in the ensuing session, for leave to bring in a Bill and
obtain an Act to explain and amend an Act made in the 34th
Year of the Reign of his present Majesty intitled "An Act for erecting
"a Penitentiary House or Houses for confining and employing convicts"
and to enable the Feoffee or Feoffees, to be appointed under the authority
of the said Act, to treat with the Dean of the Collegiate Church
of Saint Peter Westminster for and in behalf of himself and the
Chapter of the said Church, as also with the Rector of the Parish of
Saint John Westminster, and with the Vestrymen of the United
Parishes of Saint Margaret Westminster, and Saint John Westminster,
in joint Vestry assembled, in behalf of themselves and the
several other persons interested, or claiming to be interested, in a
certain piece of waste Land known by the name of Tothill Fields,
situate in the said two parishes, for the purchase of their retrospective
rights and interests, and to such part of the said Land as
shall be found necessary for the purpose of the said Penitentiary
Establishment, after the reservation and allotment of a certain
portion or portions, to be divided among, and allotted in severalty
to, the several parties interested, in proportion to their respective
interest and exigencies, in such manner as Parliament shall direct.
The words in the printed advertisement are "rights and interests"
Interests and exigencies had been preferred, because in point of quantity
of ground the
supposed exigencies
of the Parish were
known to be more
extensive, than, in
one event, their
rights and legal
interests would
prove to be. This
alludes to the Ground
wanted by them for
a New Poor House.

Sir
Your marginal observation is better omitted, for reasons
which I could explain. If you look at the Gazette, you will find
the Order of the House is not referred to.
You will see the advertisement, in the Gazette of tomorrow, Thursday,
and Saturday next after. In the Times, Truce Brutor, and Oracle of
next Week: which will be quite sufficient and fully comply with
the Order of the House. But if you wish to send the notice
as you mention, you [had] better order some or all of these papers
to be sent you next week.

I am your most humble servant
Joseph White.
