consigned to the Penitentiary Establishment?
They have been frequently above 2,000, they may
be more: call them 2,000 at a venture. This
number would I presume sooner or later be given
me: for while Penitentiary management it is to be
had at £12 a head, Hulk management at
£21 a head or even New South Wales management
at I don't know how much more per head,
will in regard to sentences for short terms at least
hardly be preferred. Here then £6,000 a year at
the least instead of £3,000 is the amount of
the expence the public would be put to to afford
me an indemnification even upon this narrow
scale, so narrow that I declare at the same time
it would not satisfy me. Thus annually: and
that without a farthing statement in the expence
of purchase-money, since I have stated in the
Memorial, if there be a farthing's worth less of
new Land given me than what the old land
would have come to, justice is not done me.

Number you will be pleased to observe, Sir, makes
no abatement in this part of the expence: if one
man works up in a year as much wood or
stone as it will cost £3 to convey from the
length of Battersea to Hounslow Heath & back
again, 2000 men will work up as much as comes
