hands: of the weekly earnings of the other 16, the average,
amount not so much as in the Claimants Prison
might as above, have been reasonably expected to be the amount
of daily earnings.

6. Observation 6th In comparison of the shortness of
the time, during which, in the Southwell Prison, the
Prisoners would upon an average, have to continue yielding
profit by their earnings, the length of the time during which
they would have had to continue in the Claimant's Prison, will,
it is presumed, present itself as constituting, in favour of the latter,
a source of considerable, as well as unquestionable,
advantage.

In the Case of Panopticon, setting aside such of
the Prisoners as would have been continued in the exercise of
their own trades, those which would have been put to the
carrying on the new invented operations, would, even from
the first, have found, in the simplicity of those same operations
means of acquiring considerable earnings, at periods, far earlier
than those which have place in the instance of the general
run of ordinary trades, in which any very profitable degree of
dexterity and skill is seldom acquired, but at the end of a more or
less considerable course of experience — a course of no less length
than 7 years, according to the notion to which the system
of Obligatory Apprenticeships owes its birth and continuance,
and thus in this class of instances, comparative earliness of
commencement would have been added to comparative length
of continuance.

As to those who would have been continued in
the exercise of their own trades, by the supposition
they would have come in already endowed with their
full compliment of skill and dexterity, from the very

Of the average comparative length of continuance in the
two species of prisons, some kind of estimate might perhaps upon investigation
be deduced. But, as in the first place, this enquiry successful or
