§.7. Rates of profit in pari materia
Rate IV Sir George Paul and the Revd M Beecher's
Rate as per Estimate . . . . .. . . £251, 125.0s.0d

Grounds of the Estimate

1. In his Evidence, delivered to the aforesaid Penitentiary
Committee "I need not hesitate to say (says Sir George
Penitentiary
Committee 31 May
1811 Appendix p
46 —
Paul +) that the labour of penitentiary prisoners, taken
exclusively, will exceed the Cost of their Clothing and
maintenance, and will probably supply some part of the
Expence of the Establishment.

2. Supposing it to supply the whole of that Expence, then
the £12,000 a Year in Question, would to me have been the
whole of it net profit, as above.

3. Remains to be estimated the Expence of an Establishment
This estimate Mr Beecher above mentioned has in his —
Evidence made for me I say for me since it is with
express reference to the intended Panopticon Establishment,
(the Establishment in Question) that it is declaredly
made.

4. After having spoken of it for some lengths
by the description of the Contract with Mr Bentham
to evince (continues he) "that such an Agreement does
not promise any pecuniary advantages to Government
— Suppose the Governor Chaplain and Surgeon of
the penitentiary to receive the same Salaries as at
Newgate, and allowing for a Secretary with a —
suitable Number of Turnkeys and Taskmasters, the
yearly expence of such an Establishment, apportioned
among 1000 Prisoners will be only £1..15..0 —
"Besides this" (he adds) it is manifest that penitentiary
Convicts, under judicious Regulations, can scarcely —
fail to earn proportionably more than can be —
derived from the Employment of those who are subjected
to short periods of Imprisonment. —
