obtained for nothing by government for nothing.
Such is the hardship to Government upon this score.
What would there have been to pay Government have had to pay, if it had
gone to work and built building a Penitentiary House for these supernumeraries
upon the common plan? It could not A second
Penitentiary House could not be built for one half
a dozen or a dozen supernumeraries as they
happen to be brought in: it must be built
and upon the common plans not a single supernumerary can could be taken in to the first house,
It The second must be built for the greatest probable number,
say 1,000. With the benefit of Mr Blackburne's
frugality a Penitentiary House for a thousand could
not be had for as little as 200,000. Say
It might now be had say for 100,000.
But for one reason or other, such as diminution in the
number of criminalsimprovement of
morals, improvement of the County Prisons, intrusion
of the Colony plan, or adoption of some other mode
of disposing of convicts) perhaps not above
5000 are received into this 100,000 House.
What is the consequence? That for each man
convict House-rent alone (at 1,000 5 per cent)
comes to 150 a year. In Mr Bentham's plan
it comes to 9 a year and that for two years only.
