troubling the Committee with so many words, but for
the recollection that some 18 or 19 years ago, at the commencement
of my negotiations, to an observation of
mine pointing to the military force in the Park as an
obvious source of security, the answer returned by a
gentleman then in office, was an inexorable negative.
What the objections were, I enquired in vain:
with the gentleman himself they did not originate.
Be they what they may, they would not be found, I
should hope, no longer in existence. If the Panopticon
contained within its Lodge an acting Magistrate, this
military guard, being actually in his view, would,
an any such occasion as that in question, be actually
under his command. I mean by Common Law:
to which no order from any War Office, I venture to would, I
presume, to oppose would on such an occasion think proper
to oppose itself

By the constant sight of a similar guard — stationed,
if thought necessary, close to the spot; — for example
three or four at the entrance into the Panopticon
ground through the walled avenue that
leads to the House, two or three at each of the two
elevated Watch Houses, that which command, each of them, by
night as well as by day, the inside as well as the outside
of two of the four surrounding walls — by the constant
sight of of this small guard, coupled with the knowledge
of the arrangements that might to easily be made for
instantaneous communication with the great body
stationed in the neighbouring Park, it would be
extraordinary
