Answers Query 1
1. Requisition 1

(In this article I distinguish four requisitions:
which for the convenience of reference I have (in pencil)
numbered accordingly.

[Requisition the 1st "The Accountant is required to state
"under what authority the expences were incurred by him
"in preparations for an intended Penitentiary Establishment.]

<p>Answer to Requisition 1st The information thus required from

"necessary for the custody and care of the Convicts proposed to
"be confined in the Penitentiary Houses, intended to be erected at
"Battersea Rise, or on such piece or pieces of ground as
"may be appointed for that purpose."

Mr Chief Inspector. I am altogether at a loss to conceive how that could be entertained on this head. The Accountant I am
