|| This is the quantity in contemplation in the Contract between
the Treasury and M<hi rend="underline">r.</hi>. Bentham and specified in the Act (34 Geo:
3. ch 84) passed for the purpose of authorizing the Contract

+ These were the Rates and Prices mentioned by Mr. Willock Land
Surveyor, as proper in the case of Land, to be purchased by Government,
in the Situation and of the qualities respectively abovementioned.
Meadow Land (according to M<hi rend="underline">r</hi>. Willock) would in this
same Situation be worth bout £6 a Year Per Acre, instead of £8:
and if of the 44 acres there were to be 22 at £6 instead of £8, this
would strike off £1320 from the above price: but though there may
be almost as much Meadow as Garden Ground adjacent to the Waste,
it will not be easy (it is supposed) to obtain quite so much of the
cheaper sort of Land as the other.
