To Ld Sidmouth

Charges by J.B.
against Holford &c

1. Public money to the
amount of several
hundred thousands wilfully
spent on waste.

2. By means of the enormity
of the charge,
the expenditure spared
through an inordinate
length of time, and
the commencement of

In your Lordships
breast I am inclined
to flatter myself
that the breast of
the public faith in
respect of an engagement
so repeatedly
confirmed – and to
the prejudice of an
individual to whom
the least standard of
blame has ever
been imputed, will may
not sit altogether
to light, as it appears
to have done
in some other breasts.

I. Advantages to the
public obtainable by
acceptance of J.B.s
perfect proposals – consequently

excluded by
the rejection of these.

II. Objections – removed
by J.B.s present
offers.

Blackstones list –
by which it would
appear that no less
than 32 years age
in the opinion of such
Judges my labours
in this Vangard,
were not altogether
without fruit: in
this Vangard, with
from which after
acceptance followed by
no fewer than 21
years of lingering
expectation I am
now without the
so much as the least
suspicion of blame
in any shape to
be drawn out in

my name posted up
in the title of an
Act of Parliament
in the joint character of
a public burthen and
a recorded outcast.

Will Mr Vanf.
think it worthwhile
to pay £200,000
and gi besides giving or
4 years of the benefit or if that be the grave
mischief to keep the
business out of the hands
of a person whose
<gap> has been evidence by such ponderous proof,
by persevering and perhaps
in some way add by
so ponderous a
series of testimonials
or is it that merit
in Honourable breasts
is so importunately
clamorous for this so
trifling an addition
to its rewards?
for no other use than
to keep prisoners
out of inspection?

What I am to answer
for is then
all possibility of
effecting that any
part of that mass
of reform reform and
improvement has which my
idea of which has in
so many shapes
for for series
of years of by lingering
expectationbeen
dancing playing before my
eyes may not close
for ever.

– witness with
any last look breath
the triumph of
perfidy and
injustice.

Cause of the

but the indifference of

of the ruling classes.

It is Everybody it is
taken for granted will
do their duty, provided
the patronage is in the
hands of Honble Gentlemen,
the inspection
occasional only, and
not as with under me it in
a Panopticon it could be unremitted,
and above all, so long
as the invention of the
Panopticon system have bear
no part of th in the management has nothing
to do with me.

Mr Graham whose
services in the
character of Inspector
of Hulks are so meritorious,
and so efficient
why should not this
be at least equally
efficient in a Panopticon
should this efficiency
be less compleat.

For it is a frustration
with Honorable Gentlemen
that no mortal alive
at least if appointed
by Honorable Gentlemen
will be guilty of any
of duty except
myself any the inventors of Panopticon and any
who should come after
them.
