S. 7. Rates of profit in pari materia.
Rate V Southwell Rate for two years ending 25th
Decr 1810 . . . . . . . . . . £23,438 . 10d . 10d
Grounds of this Estimate

1. The average annual cost of each prisoner in the
Nottinghamshire House of Correction (viz the House at Southwell
as above) says the said Mr Beecher in his Evidence p.41 of the
above mentioned Report, computed according to the last quarter
amounts only to £8..7..11<hi rend="superscript">=</hi> and, upon an average of the last
two years, to the sum of £9..5..5 <hi rend="superscript">1/2,</hi> which from accidental
circumstances, is higher than may again be expected: Thus far
the Reverend Magistrate.

To take that Rate of Profit which to the Claimant, is the
least advantageous of all these six Rates, say then as above
£9..5..51/2.

2. Add amount of Salaries, in the Penitentiary
containing 1000 prisoners ||, meaning the Penitentiary which
under the Claimants said Contract was to have been set up
viz on the footing of the Calculation made by the same
Gentleman on the same page #
as above . . . . . . . . . . . . . £1..15s.. 0d
# Penitentiary
Committee Report
p41 Appendix

3. This gives total annual Cost per head £11..0..51/2
4. Head money for each of the 1000 under
the Panopticon Contract as above . . . . 12..0..0
5. Deduct Cost, as above . . . . . . .11. 0 . 51/2
Remains net profit . . . . . . 0 .. 19 .. 61/2

Notes

= March 15. 1811 is the day on which this Evidence was
delivered: hence it is that I infer, that the quarter on
that occasion meant is the quarter ending 25th Decr
1810. But in the Table delivered in by the same Gentleman
and printed in the same Report, the year being as above
observed every where left in blank, the quarter day all along
referred to is the 24th of June.

|| But suppose (says he) (Penit<hi rend="underline">y</hi> Report 31 May 1811 p 41) But suppose
the Governor, Chaplain and Surgeon, of the Penitentiary to receive
the same Salary as at Newgate, and allowing for a Secretary
with a suitable Number of Turnkeys and Task Masters, the
yearly expence of such an Establishment apportioned among 1000 prisoners
will be only £1..15 which makes £10..2..11, if added to £8..7..11 and
£11.0.51/2 if added to £9..5..51/2.
