Panopt. Observ. on Holford's Report

Of the eventual future transgression of which the official person
in question is thus convicted, the heads shapes may be thus enumerated.
They are all contained in the compass of little 2 1/4
more pages of the Report, and that it may be certain that
nothing of the that tendency nature has been here omitted, that
part of the Report is here subjoined in terminis.

I. Badness of the provisions and necessaries which he
in his situation of Governor would have furnished: viz.
in so far as in point of pro the shape of profit or otherwise it would have been his interest that this
mischief should take place. p.13.

II. Improper luxuriousness of those same articles: viz.
in so far as it would have been his interest that mischief
in this shape should take place. p.13.

III. Extortion: viz. by means and in respect of the undue power
that for the sake of the profit would have been put by him upon such articles as he would
have admitted.

V IV. Want of sufficient to the religious instruction
and moral improvement of the prisoners: viz. inasmuch

"work as they were competent to execute, and that their
"labour should be exercised in the manner by which most
profit would be produced." p.13.

V. Permission given By permission or even obligation
"unfit ... "associations" amongst the prisoners: unfit, viz.
as operating in such sort as "to retard rather than to accelerate the
progress of moral improvement – p.13: inasmuch that
as in this plan "pecuniary advantage is not ... thus made the most
prominent object of reformation attention, the experiment of
reformation would not be fairly tried.
