ents (not yet printed 9th August 1802) in two Sheets. Sheet2.
VI.5.Economy.
I. Past comparative
Expence.

1.
Convict expence — reference
for grounds and
calculations to the
28th Finance Report.
1. Past expence.

2.
In New South Wales
annual expence per
Convict as per Do
Minimum £33..9s..5 1/2d
Maximum }
(the most } £46..7..0 1/4
probable) }

3
Do. of Panopticon if
established when
promised £13..10s

4.
Ratio, from more
than 1/2 to less than
1/4 of New South Wales.

5
Latterly the £13..10s
was raised to £18..10
by the lapse of time
the work of Mr Pitt
for the accommodation
originally of Ld Spencer.

II. Prospect of Decrease

6.
In New South Wales,
decrease of the expence
how far probable.

7.
But there is no
chance of its ever
being reduced so low
as the above £13..10s
nor even as the £18..10.

8.
Long before it were
reduced below the
Panopticon expence,
the Panopticon expence

VI.5.Economy.
II. Prospect of Decrease

9
Probable decrease — amount
of it according
to the supporters of
New South Wales viz:
not so much as 1/5,
reducing it, from
£46..5s a year per
Convict, say to £37.

10
— which is the exact
double of Panopticon
expence, as enhanced
by Pitt and perfidy;
and near treble, if
unenhanced.

11.
Combined view of the
economy, morality, &
logic displayed in
the conduct of the Treasury
in the relinquishment
of Panopticon,
compared with the
support given to New
South Wales.

12.
Economy was the
stronghold and was
to make up for all
deficiencies in respect
of the four direct
ends of punishment.

13.
Mr. Rose's sentiments
appealed to, on the
regard due to "arithmetic
and its calculations" — Pamphlet
on the Civil List.
1802.

14.
Panopticon expence
cessation certain — the
duration reduced already
by the manufactured
lapse of time:
i:e: by waste of J &
S.B.s lives. —

III. Prospect of Encrease.

15.
Per contra, chance of
encrease on the Military
and Naval Establishments.

Demand for fresh
force as stated in
the Lady's letter —

17
In two paragraphs.

17(a)
Bell's paper 3rd January
1800.

18.
The expence will not
be capable of being
concealed, by any
such contrivance as
that of throwing it
upon a wrong fund,
as in the case of
Prisons. —

This was the contrivance
of the D. of Portland
as stated in
his letter to the Treasury
14th Oct.r 1799 throwing
it upon the Poor
Rates by his own authority
instead of the
General Fund assigned
by Parliament. —

To conclude with
an examination of
the supposed possible
utilities of New South
Wales in the character
of a Colony: introduced
by remarks
relative to the general
question of the utility
of Colonies: to which
may be subjoined
an unpublished
tract on that subject.
