§.7. Rates of profit in pari materia

5 Observation. True it is, that, for the existence of the
superiority of profit thus inferred, the Reverend Witness requires
(it should seem) in the Character of a Condition, that the
Penitentiary
Report 30
May 1811 p 41
Regulations should be judicious:" judicious, viz I presume
in an Ordinary Degree, and with reference to the particular
object on that occasion in Question, viz. pecuniary profit.
With relation to this particular object, in the whole of that
Gentleman's Evidence, nothing will, I believe, be found from
which any Opinion to the prejudice of my Title to the
reputation of being in possession of this Ordinary Degree
of Judgment, will appear capable of being inferred. That the
Plan, so highly and deliberately approved of by the late Mr
Pitt and the late Lord Melville, has not been fortunate —
enough to obtain a favourable place in the Opinion of
this Reverend Gentleman, is indeed but too manifest. But,
it is by the supposition of its not being sufficiently
subservient to the Interest of the Prisoners, and not by
any such apprehension as that of a deficiency on any
part in respect of the Capacity of taking and pursuing
such Arrangements as promise to be in an ordinary Degree
conducive to a Mans own particular Interest, that the
unfavourable impression which I have so much cause to
regret appears to have been produced.

6. Of the above mentioned £1..15s a part would,
according to the expectation declared, as above, by Sir
George Paul be probably supplied from the other source
mentioned by him — viz. "the Labour of the Prisoners"
But, of this part of the expectation, I waive taking
any advantage.

7. This then, in the Case of this Rate of profit,
stands the Estimate. —

1. Supposing the whole Expence of the Concern defrayed
by the Earnings of the Prisoners, the Annual Profit
(as per Sir George Paul) would be equal to the whole
amount of the Allowance money, viz £12,000. —
