Sir
Before the meeting of Parliament, I hope to
have the honour of presenting you with the printed account
of a plan I am at work upon at the desire of the
Government of Ireland, contrived upon principles simple
as they are new for the construction of a Penitentiary
- House. As a fruit of it, Fearful of losing a year,
I will venture already to hazard in general terms a
system, somewhat I hope improved, at about half
the annual expence of that pursued on board the
Hulks, with about half the proportion of capital required for building
upon Mr Blackburn's plan, and that too to be reimbursed,
by an extra-rent accumulated at compound interest
