1. Eighty Acres was the quantity I was to have had
at Battersea Rise: 80 Acres, the quantity allotted under
the old system for no more than 900 Prisoners,

have already accumulated to someseveral thousands.

make provision for as many of the discharged prisoners
as may choose to accept of it. These must not be

of Acres over acceded to by the Dean & Chapter
