the application of it to a particular spot) it was
the opinion of all the Judges: it was the opinion
of all the Supervisors (and it may be in your
recollection, Sir, that there were different sets
of them) that were successfully appointed for the
originally intended Penitentiary House. It was
the opinion of every Committee of the House of
Commons that ever sat upon the measure. It
was the opinion of Mr Howard, of Mr Whately,
and of Dr Fothergill, who delivered it into the
bosom of Mr Howard, sealed with the dying

Elliot and Dr Bowdler, by whom the present spot
was pitched upon for this cause: it was the opinion
of the Committee of 1784 of which Sir Charles
Bunbury was Chairman: and in whose Report
among the advantages which recommended the spot
in question to their repeated and maturest choice
it occupies a distinguished place. It is, or at any
rate very lately was, so much the opinion of Sir Charles
Bunbury, that after praising the paper before submitted
to you, Sir, in defence of this very choice, he was pleased
to pronounce it, I remember his very word, unanswerable.
