5. Observation. True it is, that, for the existence of the superiority
of profit thus inferred, the Reverend witness required (it should seem)
in the character of a condition, that the 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 judgement, will appear

to the interest of the prisoners, and not by any such apprehension
as that of a deficiency on my part, in respect of the capacity of taking

conducive to a man's own particular interest, that the unfavourable
impression which I have so much cause to regret, appears to have
been produced.

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.
