A page or two above * stated £12, money of that time at
viz. of the time at March 1793, at which acceptance was given to the Contract, — as sufficient is spoken of
as being regarded as sufficient for the maintenance of the Prisoners, was including
at that time, including or not including the expence of the Official Establishment.

According to the evidence of the Reverend [+]1 [+] of a Reverend
Magistrate, of
whose Accounts
and Estimates a
more particular use
will come to be
made in the next
Section, viz. the Reverend Mr Baker —
(p. 41. of the Penitentiary Report 31 May 1811.) Q even this recently,
lately , or viz. at a time when, the compared with that former
the expence of every thing seems to be is generally thought to
be not less than doubled, £9:5:5 1/2 for every thing
but the expence of the Official Establishment, or rather
£8:7s:11d, is stated as being sufficient. True it is,
that, in my own case, reserving to myself the choice of the cheapest, so it
were but wholesome, sort of food, by my Contract I stood engaged
to give to each working man as much as he should choose to eat: -
choose to eat an allowance, the expence of which, I can not but acknowledge, would
very considerably have exceeded the expence of the sort
of allowance which, under the management of the Reverend
Magistrate, appears to have been made to his
Prisoners. But, even by the difference between £8.7:11 or even £9.5.5 1/2 and
£12 much in that way might have been done: and if,
to under his plan of maintenance Ao 1811 £8:7.11 sufficed to afford them what in
his judgment was sufficient so in 1793 would a much
less sum than £8.7:11: or £9.5:5 12/2 say for example £6: which
in that same Year for the feeding of each of my Prisoners Ao 17 I should have had £12; — a sum the double
of that, which according
to the supposition here in question, have had the doubt of that
the sum so supposed to be would in the opinion of the Reverend Magistrate have been sufficient. True it is, that unless,
on the score of the ris rise of prices, any an encrease of headmoney
had been allowed to me, I should at this time, by the terms of the
Contract
