were even now in readiness to execute it bring it to a conclusion, whenever
certain difficulties obstacles could be removed - that they had
no doubts of a correspondent readiness on the part
of Mr Bentham - that these obstacles difficulties were
respected the obtaining of a spot of land proper for the
purpose: [+] to which answer
a document called
for by the Your Committee,
viz: a
Draught of copy
of a Draught of a
Contract engrossed
as if for signature
between the Lords
of the Treasury and
Mr Bentham was
annexed. Upon examining Mr Bentham for an
explanation of these difficulties we were informed by learnt drew from
him him a declaration, or rather a confession that he knew of no difficulties posterior to
the passing of this Act of an Act he knew of no
difficulties, posterior to the 7th July 1794, the date of an Act of Parliament which will be mentioned presently that
in his conception ought to have obstructed the execution of the contract
that excepting the short delay from that
time day to this those there never has been a time
when after at the end a notice of a month or 6 weeks
or some such time interval it would not have been in
the power of the Treasury to put him in possession
of a spot of land which on his demand as the commencement of the trials had
(subject to the pleasure of Parliament) been conceded
to him and which had been pitched upon as eminently proper
for the site of a Penitentiary House by the concurrence
of a cluster of authorities so respectable that the
opinion of the 12 Judges and the verdict of a Jury were
but a part of them - that from this verdict
and the valuation that had been given by it, he
had from ever since that time regarded the land
in question as solemnly and notoriously appropriated
to the Penitentiary system - that it always has been at any rate
till the passing of the Act of 7 July 1794, and
perhaps notwithstanding that Act it had always
been competent to a certain authority created by the
Penitentiary Act of the 19 Geo. 3: to take possession
of that ground whenever whensoever supplied furnished with money from the
Treasury
