80 § 9 (4) +
it might still, with no relation to the public service, be not altogether
without it's use: viz. by enabling him to reduce the price, at that time
paid, for the maintenance of convicts on board the Hulks. If my memory
does not deceive me, a service to the amount of some thousands of
pounds a year was thereupon actually rendered to the public by this
means. At the time of my giving in the above proposal, according to two
Contracts, of which I have copies +the prize paid to the Contractor

and other expense Masters and Crews of each of the vessels, by the Masters and Crews of which
the function of Jailor was performed : to which was likewise added the <add> unliquidated expence of fitting the vessels for that purpose</add> If my information on this

Proposal, upon the renewal of the Contracts relative to the Hulks,
a considerable abatement was made in the price. Whether I
myself saw the Contract containing such reduced terms, or was
only informed of it in substance, I do not recollect: at any rate, for the
effect in question, if any such was produced, I never heard of any other
cause. How the matter stands, might easily, I should suppose, be
learned at the Treasury, if to any purpose it were at any time thought
worth while. If, at any time, any such reduction was made in that case by the
subsequent depreciation of money, the difference can scarcely by
this time have failed to be much more than replaced.

II. Pecuniary services rendered by the Claimant's brother, in
consequence of the business in question.

It was by the ingenuity displayed by my brother, in the
invention of the Panopticon principle of architecture, and in the
invention of that system of mechanism which there has been
such frequent occasion to speak of, that Earl Spencer, at
that time first Lord of the Admiralty, was drawn to the spot
(I mean my present residence) where those objects were exhibited.
It was by the scientific information, displayed in the course of
the ensuing conversation and correspondence that ensued, that the Admiralty
