2 Report (28th) of the Finance Committee so much as concerns Mr. Benthams Contract Plan.

Treasury "to enable time to make the necessary Preparations
"for the custody of the Convicts to be confined in the proposed
"Penitentiary Houses."

That an Act of Parliament received the Royal Assent
on the 7th of July 1794, 34G.3.c.84. not only authorizing
but requiring the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury,
as soon after passing the Act as conveniently might be, to
fix upon Ground therein described, or upon any other
Convenient and proper Spot, within certain Limits, for
the Erection of one or more Penitentiary Houses, and
giving the usual Compulsive Powers for purchasing
the Ground that should be so chosen.

That Articles of Agreement were thereupon drawn up
by the Solicitor to the Treasury, and approved of by the
Attorney and Solicitor General, for the purpose of
carrying the proposal into effect, reciprocally binding
upon the Proposer and upon the Lords Commissioners
of His Majesty's Treasury.

That encouraged by these Proofs of Confidence and Approbation,
and by these Assurances of Support Mr Bentham
had proceeded to the performance of his part of the Contract
and had incurred an expense of many Thousand Pounds
of his own Money, in addition to that advanced by the
Treasury, in consequence of the Preparation which he had
made; but that his further progress has been impeded,
and the Contract has remained without execution from
Difficulties in regard to obtaining a Spot of Ground
proper for the purpose.

Your Committee, however, are informed by the Lords
Commissioners
