was to have had £27,000 in advance on condition of
maintaining the Prisoners for the first Year; viz: £10,000
on the signing of the Contract, £10,000 three months after,
and the remaining £7,000 on notice given of being ready
to receive the Prisoners. From the nature of the intended
Building, which will be composed as far as strength is
concerned, solely of Iro Cast Iron and Wood, in which the
Iron will be greatly predominant it happens that the whole
greatest part of it would be concentrated formed prepared and even in the way of
experiment put together, before the acquisition of the ground.
so as to be taken to pieces and put together again in a manner to be in readiness ready to be put up as
soon as the Land is got for it can be got to receive it. Mr Nepean,
if I did not misunderstand him gave it me spontaneously as his opinion that on this consideration
Identifier: | JB/541/512/001 "JB/" can not be assigned to a declared number type with value 541.
