Panopt. Compensation Claim §§.4 Profit from Inventions
(7)

Question 1. When, the expectation in relation to the
Contract, the expectation from Government failed, how happened
and the terms in terms under the several Patents remained, as yet unexplainedexpired,
how happened it that you never took the benefit
of any of these inventions, in the way originally intended?
For, that you never did, is an averment included in
the statement made by you as above?

Answer. There Never, till to doing have been the passing of the above Act
(Ao 1802) has been viz long after the expiration of the latest of these Patents, has been this binary determinate term point of time at which my expectation from Government
can be said to have altogether failed. So late as in the
year to March 1800 +, + Voucher No 2
Mr Long to Mr
Treasury (speaking
of a Letter there
received from the D.
of Portland Secretary
of State) to J. Bentham
Esrq 25 March 1800 I was called upon, as will be seen,
by the Secretary of State, to make preparation for no fewer
than 2000 prisoners, being double the number stipulated
for in the Contract. Mean time, as early as in the year
1796 my abovementioned Brother, (having by his
attendance in England on this business left the honorable
and beneficial situation he held under the Russian Government
viz. the command of a Regiment of 2000 men
inferred a time for a very signal service rendered in the defence
of the country against a Turkish invasion together
with the most flattering prospects of ulterior practice) my Brother, I say, partly
for immediately assured subsistence in a measured state, animated
moreover by the prospect of services to an unbounded amount, which
he entertained hopes of being permitted to render to government
and the public in his own country — hopes which
have not been altogether disappointed — consented to engage
in the service of Government here, in a new office a situation created
for the purpose, viz. that of Inspector General of his
Majesty's Naval Works, from which period (1796) till a few
weeks ago, either in that office or in the Office of
Commissioner
Commissioner of the
Navy every moment
of his time was devoted
to that novel and
most laborious service
daily: as a list which I have of
the services rendered by
him in these two offices ǂ ǂ S.B. Statement
of Services, as above will sufficiently declare.
