Hard-labour Bill - Supplemental observations.
It is plain therefore that the difference, between the value
of the work they might do if at large and that of
the work they are to be put to in these houses, is
for the time their confinement lasts so much loss to the public. The public

Let the service of the convict for the time term
specified in his sentence be assignable to any master

his option at any time allowing a proper time for
warning, to return to the labor-house as/insofar

the power at any time of sending him there.
For The disposal of the thees servants might be by a kind
of Auction, of which due notice should be given at
the place or places where the convict has last served
for any length of time.

can not upon an average be made quite equal to the expenses
of his maintenance.
Security should be taken
from the Master together with two Bonds-men for
