Panopt. Compensation Claim III Contract
§§ Contractors expected rate

In the 79 Acres in question Under these circumstances,
the spot of 79 Acres, to which under the agreement I was entitled,
were considered — such parts as were not occupied part of it as would be left unoccupied by the
buildings or Yards, — rather as a source of health, for
the occasional employment of such of the men whose occupations
would be sedentary and comparatively inactive,

not speak truly if I stated were I to state my own expectations of
the profit expected to be derived from the labour of each man at so
low a rate as 2s 6d a day: the expenses of their
maintenance being expected at the same time, in the grounds
that such as will be mentioned presently, expected to have been defrayed by
the £12 a year headmoney which I was to receive.

so to be received by me, I stood engaged to allow to each
man a one fourth, to be applied as the Draught of Contract printed
in the Report will shew. + + 28th Finance Committe
