your Memorialist will venture to repeat adorned, by
a Panopticon Penitentiary House. After this explanation,
and with a view to those public purposes
which he will be bold to say, and that without
fear of contradiction, have always stood foremost
in his thoughts, he can not help looking
on the spot as being in the words of the Act an eminently
convenient & proper one, were it only on
the score of beauty: a property which accordingly
as far as depends upon him, he would be studious
to cultivate: though instead of beauty, he
should rather have said capacity of receiving beauty:
for when viewed in its present uniformity and
nakedness, it has little enough to recommend it.
— Is beauty, even here, at variance with use? By
no means. A Galley may be painted: but will
this render the condition of the Galley-Slave a
tempting one?

The maxim audi alteram partem may possibly
occur as precluding your Lordships from so
immediate a compliance with your Memorialist's
prayer as is sollicited by it. But with submission,
there is here no altera pars: and your
Lordships will never begin an enquiry, which
your Lordships will see might never have an
end.
