§.2. The Claimants' damage - its three branches, as
recognized by the Act.

The damage, to which my claims under the Act must make
reference, divides itself into three branches; of each of which intimation
is given in the terms of the Act.

1. Damage by capital expended, or otherwise consumed viz at first
in the prosecution of certain patent mechanical inventions, begun
without any particular view to the hereinafter mentioned contract
with government, and afterwards in the special adaptation of
those inventions to the purpose of the said Contract

2. Damage from the loss of such profits as might reasonably
have been expected from the said inventions; the receipt of such profits
having, by delays on the part of government, respecting the fulfilment
of the said contract, been at first delayed, and finally rendered
hopeless and unattainable.

3. Damage by loss of such profits, as might reasonably
have been expected from the fulfilment of the contract itself;
including such profits as might reasonably have been expected
from the adaptation of the inventions to the purpose of
the said contract as above.

1 As to damage by capital expended, as above.
In the Act, the words bearing reference to this branch of the damage
are as follows (§4) "And the said Jeremy Bentham states himself
"to have expended large sums of money, over and above the said sum
"of two thousand pounds, in making preparations for the performance
"of the said Agreement on his part, with respect to the plan of the
"said intended building, the employment to be therein given to
"Convicts, and the system of management thereunto to be adapted;
"and to have transferred, and with entanglements adapted to the
"object of such preparations, an extensive system of mechanical
"works, of the invention of his brother, Brigadier General Samuel
"Bentham, to whom the same were secured by divers patents, and
"whereon a Capital to a considerable amount, produced by the sale of
"divers Estates, had been expended, from which, by reason of such transference,
no advantage thereafter could, nor can now be reaped:
"and it is also stated by the said Jeremy Bentham, that the said Brigadier
"General Bentham has relinquished in his favour such compensation as
"the said Samuel Bentham might be entitled to, in respect of the matters
"aforesaid."
