plan of operation to such sort of machines as would be capable
of being worked by human labour —

That your Memorialist and his said Brother have already
expended between £6000 & £7000 in the prosecution of his said
inventions, the whole of which expenditure has either been incurred
with a view in the first instance to the employment of
convicts under the said treaty, or else transferred to that purpose
from its original destination —

That your Memorialist & his said Brother, having by a
concurrence of diligence & good fortune, collected & formed a body of
workmen in different branches, such as if once dispersed, he could
not for a long time if ever hope fully to replace, is obliged, and will
during the pendency of the present treaty be obliged to the extent of
his ability, to keep them in pay & in employment, at an expence
amounting at the ordinary rate thereof to upwards of £2500 per
annum, (now lately indeed, though by mere inability, considerably reduced)
at the same time that his manufactories, being filled with
the machinery destined for the employment of convicts, are incapable
of being applied to the execution of any particular branch of work,
from the sale of which the reimbursement of the whole or any
part of such expenditure could be obtained —

That your Memorialist, by the unexpected suspension of the treaty
aforesaid, at the time when he had considered the same as brought
to a conclusion, has for these fourteen months & upwards been subjected
to the above mentioned unproductive expence, while the profits,
whatever they may amount to, which in the same period he might
have reaped therefrom, by applying to machinery constructed on the
same principle, the more advantageous power of a Steam Engine,
have already lost —

That the terms of the said existing treaty, to which no objection
had ever been made on the part of the Right Honourable Gentlemen
aforesaid
