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

which is insures to those whose terms of confinement are
expired; in the Responsibility which the Contractor proposed
to take upon himself for the future good Behaviour of the
Criminal intrusted to his Care even when they shall no
longer be under his Controul; in the Publicity which is
meant to be given to the whole conduct and effect of the
Establishment , moral, medical, and oeconomical, as well by
an Annual Report of its State and Proceedings, as by that
constant facility of Inspection which will in an unusuall

the Building, upon which the prompt and easy exercise
of the superintending Powers of the Governor himself

of these advantages, when they contemplate the
Accounts which have been furnished to them of the Periods
of Enlargement of the several Convicts now confined in
the Hulks, to which they desire to direct the most serious
attention of the House, bearing in mind, as they do, the
Evidence given by an Experience Magistrate of the pernicious

confined in those Seminaries of Vice; recollecting too, not

fully supplied but that it affords no Security for the
future Good Behaviour of those who, having outlived
the Periods of their Sentences, may return again to afflict
the Society from which they have been separated.
