how much reason the neighbourhood will have
to rejoice at the change of plan which in the
room of more three more afresh Supervisors, subject to no controul

establishment itself, and they nor precedent substitutes a single an unconnected individual
like myself. By an article which I myself took
care to inserted, though independent of every Administration as your Lordship may have observed I am subjected to be removed by the

of the institution, if
while with regard reference to the persons
for whose correction

seen to have the properties of a
prison and an house establishment
for forced labour, to the
neighbourhood, to
visitors and to passengers
it should
