Expence of
purchasing ground
and building as
per Estimate

And whereas Estimates of the expence of
building such Penitentiary Houses were on the
1st of July 1782 given in according to the directions
of the said Act, amounting in the whole
to the sum of £210,352 for the buildings only
only and other ground charges only alone, to the sum of £210,352 for the said
number of 900 Prisoners, being at the rate of
£233,724:*:10 1/4 and upwards for the now intended number of 1000 as
hereinafter mentioned, exclusive of the charge of
furnishing and stocking the said then intended establishment:
which said estimate having been objected
to on account of the magnitude of the expence,
a reduced estimate was given in on or
about the 15 March 1784 to the amount of £
£165,287 for the same said number of 900 Prisoners:
(being at the rate of £183,652 4:5 1/4 and upwards for the
said number of 1000, [+] [+] making, for land and
buildings only and
other ground charges
alone, upwards of
£190,000, exclusive
of the charges of furnishing
and stocking
as aforesaid, of which
no estimate was made) for the said building and any ground charges only
exclusive as aforesaid) but on account of the
doubts which still remained respecting the propriety
of subjecting the Public to so heavy a
charge in the first instance no money hath yet
been issued for the erection of such intended
Buildings or for the purchase of the said Ground.
