Being as to a more or less considerable
portion of it unavoidable, we have here an expence
which as to so much can not be saved. But that
which can may be done, and in point of justice (it should
seem) ought to be done, is to equalize it: to the each that, equalize it, I
mean, in such sort that upon a County, the Assize or Quarter Session Town of
which is more distant than that of another County
from the place of permanent confinement, man for
man, the burthen of conveyance may not, on that
account, be rendered, or left to be, the heavier in its pressure on the first mentioned County viz
viz. in the proportion of the distance.

Whosoever on Now as to the mode of equalization. On the contract plan, whosoever carries on
the management of that Panopticon receptacle
which is the common reservoir for the convicts
of all the several Counties in I question, in his
contract it might be made a condition, that for a
sum certain, he should take upon him conveyance
of the the Convicts from all the several Assize
Towns and Quarter Session towns in the district:—
for which purpose an average would of course be taken,
viz by taking the sum of the distance, and dividing
it by the number of the Towns:—change of
conveyance, so much per mile.

V. Objection the 5th. Supposed unsuitableness of the fund,
upon which, on this plan, the expence of conveyance, would
be charged.

To this objection two answers present themselves—

1. that, for the expence in question the fund in question
is not an unsuitable one: but on the contrary
a more suitable one than the fund upon which it would in
the other case be charged.
