Temporary Panopt.
Sir The intended Penitentiary House being retarded by
the causes that you are apprised of, if If I might were to be allowed £10,000 in advance
only upon the £19,000 I was to have for the intended
Penitentiary House — erection which it was intended I
should have had this summer for the building, besides together with
the purchase money for the ground. I would engage
to have erected and ready for use in this case within 6 months after
the receipt of the money a temporary floating, and consequently moveable Penitentiary
House of upon the same plan, to rise and
fall after the tide and capable of being
where the Hulks are at present, or of being
from place, at at the Governments be pleased to reside
in any more eligible part of the River. As the money
would be put on adverse would be to be replaced by me, I could not [till the stationary I had
House is Prisoners, have been received into the the benefit of the permanent building with its intended situation
stationary Building permanent do with the or is compleated and inhabited less than the rate of allowance
made at present for the Hulks: viz: £20:00 10s 7 1/2 d a year per head.
because it is only out of the difference between that
money and the stipulated £12 a head that I could secure
enough to replace the £10,000 by the time of
its being called for by the stationary its being would for the permanent building. For
That the fund out of which this saving is to be drawn
may be sufficient, it is necessary moreover that I
should be assured of a certain number of prisoners
for a certain time: say the 1256 at
least for at least 1 1/2 years. Fourteen hundred
and sixty was the number stated to me at a few
days ago as being at present on board the Hulks:
besides some two or three hundreds in the different Jails the transferrable
to the Hulks: therefore there could be no difficulty on the
part
