Memorial

That in as much as no reimbursement can ever be obtained
by him for the said expence or any part thereof untill
long after the building for the reception of such prisoners
shall have been erected, your Memorialist as well as in consideration
thereof as out of his zeal for the public service has been
induced to give order for the casting of the iron work of which
a principal part of the said intended structure will be composed
and such order to the amount of several thousand pounds has
for some time been executing: of which expence unless speedy
measure shall be taken by your Lordships for his relief, the
burthen must fall upon your Memorialist, to the great injury
of his private fortune.

With respect to the choice of your Memorialist as the
Feoffee in whose name the said intended purchase shall be
made, he begs leave to observe that the suggestion proceeded
not from himself but from the gentlemen by whom the
Bill was drawn by whom he was informed that it was in
the view of making appointment of your Memorialist and
no other person for that purpose that the provision in question
was introduced. He begs leave to add that should any
other person be made choice of for that function, the time for
taking possession of the place, perhaps the choice of the place
itself, and thence one of the most essential points of the contract,
as well as your Memorialist's capacity of fulfilling it will
thus be made dependent upon the opinion, the good pleasure,
and the leisure of some person as yet unknown to your Memorialist:
and that moreover if in the execution of such
power several persons should be joined, the execution of the
said contract might by a disagreement amongst such persons
experience an indefinite retardation in addition to
that
