Rate IVV: Southwell Rate, for two Years, ending
25 Dec:r 1810 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -£23,438: 10s : 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, and upon an average of the last two years, to the sum
"of £9 " 5 " 5 1/2; 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 " 5 1/2.

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 in the same page H
H Penitentiary Committee Report, p.41. Appendix
as above - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - £ 1 " 15s " 0d

3. This gives - total annual cost per head - - - £11 " 0 " 5 1/2
4. Head money, for each of the 1000 under the
Panopticon Contract as above - - - - - - - - - - - -12 " 0 " 0
5. Deduct cost as above - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 11 " 0 " 5 1/2
Remains net profit - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 0 " 19 " 6 1/2

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
25. 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) Penity Report 31 May 1811 p.44) "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 taskmasters, the yearly expence of such an Establishment
apportioned among 1000 prisoners, will be only £1 " 15 " 0: which makes
£10. " 2. " 11, if added to £8 " 7 " 11 and £11" 0 " 5 1/2, if added to £9 " 5 " 5 1/2.
