Never Sent. Dec: 1798
To the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's
Treasurers —
The Memorial of Jeremy Bentham
of Lincoln's Inn, Esqr
humbly sheweth —
That Your Memorialist, having understood, that
the obtainment of a portion of the Waste called
Tothill Fields (in relation to which Notices had, by
direction of Your Lordships, been inserted by Your
Lordships' Sollicitor, in divers Newspapers in the
course of October last, declaration of the intention of
bringing into Parliament a Bill for the purchase of
such portion for the use of the intended Penitentiary
Establishment) is now regarded as impracticable; and
that for reasons which would be equally conclusive
with regard to any other Lands subject to rights of
common, find himself confined, in regard to any remaining
propositions he may have to submit to Your
Lordships on the same subject, to Lands in separate
ownership: viz: to such lands of that description as lie
within the four Counties contiguous to the City of London;
all which are, by the Act of the 7th of July 1794, placed
at the disposal of Your Lordships for the purpose
aforesaid, subject only to certain limitations, and exceptions
therein mentioned.
