what may have who would show no objection to
see it as Wimbledon may determine is the arsenal
of the less supposing the whole value
of all those Villas to the
be destroyed by the first stroke of the first pick as employed
in opening the ground for the Penitentiary House
as compleatly as by an earthquake. Now then
Sir, I would beg here to submitt to you two opposite
calculations. They The gentlemen I alluded to reckon at £200,000 a depretiation,
which I reckon at nothing. I reckon at £200,000
the £6,000 a year would be to supposed though insufficient to be paid
by way of indemnity for the damage that is to be proposed to be created for the if of money saving the gentlemen from that
ideal loss. Which calculation that of the £200,000
loss or that of the £100,000 given to prevent
contribution appears his would in your eyes conception Sir, come nearest to
the truth? You, who now bear Sir, who are who have been pleased to declare that you
for our own part should have no objection to see⊞ ⊞ the establishment
set down at Wimbleton,
close to your own
residence, you, Sir
being judge were can you
make that bring yourself to conceive
that if set down at Battersea Rise
it should effect the
utter destruction for
the destruction to any thing like £100,000 of
of the value of the
the houses at Clapham
a mile off. it at Wimbledon.

But this is not all. This charge for difference of carriage of raw materials & finished work being a standing
one, the indemnification for it comes in the shape of
interest: but there is another charge which comes in
immediately and for which the indemnification will would
call for , being a large sum at once in the shape of capital. I mean the charge
of conveying the materials of the building with all its
appendages from for the distance which forms the difference between the new spot fr and the proposed remote
one. Thou Four hundred tons of iron now casting
from but a small part of the address the land . Timber to
an amount in point of weight which unless ordered by ordered I will not
attempt to calculate, from another. Bricks & mortar for aught
I know yet another. For the surrounding wall alone (to say nothing of foundation wall and outhouses)
2000 feet of walling 12 foot high. Et cetera cæteras – but I will not
trouble you, Sir, with et cæteras.
