Farther task imposed
on J.B. of stating the
difference to be made
in terms by the proposed
reduction of numbers. p.13.

31.
Answer – For J.B.'s
inability to speak in
figures see Letter I.
Secus in principle. p 13

32.
Increase of expense of
building from expense
of numbers will be
less on Panopt. principle
than on any other. p 13

33.
Take for the standard
number 1,300 (whereof
300 Females). Though
2000 was the No. to
be provided for Ao. 1800.
Deviation from this
number may be called a reduction. p.14

34
By reduction to 1000
saving on expence would
be less than in proportion
to the number: viz. p.14

35.
I Buildings Magnitude
and consequently
expence nearly as
great on 100 or 700
as on 1300 in respect
of divers parts, viz.
1. Inspection Tower.
2. Surrounding Wall
with Walled Approach.
3. External Guard
Houses (as per Plan). p 14

36.
II Official Establishment:
viz.
1. Resident Governor
2. Chaplain.
3. Medical Curator
4. Book-keeper (principal).
5. Chief Jailor.
6. Turnkeys at the
entrances.
7. Porter for admission
of visitors from
curiosity.
8. Watchmen or Patroles
for the external
Guard Houses. p.15.

37.
As to J.B. conceditur
that upon his
own plan so far as
concerns the Building,
he would be exonerated
of the expence. p 16

38.
But, remains at his
expence, the Official
Establishment, sole
fund for which the profit
upon the profit
yielding Prisoners, reduced
from 1000 to 700
or 400. p.16

39.
Female Prisoners
admitted, an additional
Female Official
Establishment would
be necessary.
Thus a further expence;
fund not encreased. p.16

40 or 1
Two thousand might
have been taken for the
standard number – why?
Treasury Letter 25 Mar.
1800 declaring that to
be the number. p.17

41 or 2
Time for opposition
and finding grounds
for reduction or annihilation:
yet multiplication is the result. p 17.

42 or 3.
As a testimonial of
confidence doubled in
5 years this order is valuable. p.18

43 or 4
Conceditur – within a
short time the number
was reduced to
1/4th: with hesitation between
that & 0. p.18

44 or 5.
Reasons might be enquired
after by the
Committee.
All that J.B. says
is what to the present
purpose it seems
necessary for him to
say:– viz. that no
abatement of confidence
either in him
or his plan were in
the number. p.18.

45.
Letter on Compensation
postponed till resolution
to rescind has been declared. p.19
