and Your Lordship will be pleased accordingly to recollect, that in the very
sentence in which the request was made I added that it was not any
formal act that I stood in need of troubling Your Lordship for, for that
purpose would be equally answered by a simple acquiescance.
To satisfy your Lordship of the concurrence spoken of on the part of
the Gentlemen who had been appointed supervisors, I take the liberty
of inclosing a letter or two just returned by the Archbishop of York together
with one I happened to have by me expressive of the spontaneous support
of a respectable and learned friend, an old connection of the Archbishop's,
and who may not improbably fall within the sphere of your Lordship's
Acquaintance. I hope the good Archbishop will pardon the liberty I
may perhaps take of adding his own kind letter to the rest.
To shew Your Lordship the state of the business in respect
of the land in question, I also send a report of a Committee of the
House of Commons of the Year 1784, the estimates it contains of the
expence Your Lordship will be pleased to observe are for 900 Prisoners
only and my house is to contain 1,000. Actual expence, I believe,
was scarce ever known not to exceed the estimated, especially in
public works, and neither that of furnishing nor that of stocking is
included. Your Lordship will have the goodness to return the report,
as it is not miine but Sir Charles Bunbury's (upon second thought I
fear it must be a copy for the present, the printed original being
in Mr. Nepean's office, from which things are not to be got in a hurry.)
Give me leave to add that though this is the last public testimony of the
Penitentiary systems having been kept in mind (and consequently the
land that had been appropriated to it) yet it never actually has been o
of the mind of the administration. It was not more than a twelvemonth
before my Plan in its original shape had been sent to Mr. Pitt that the
late Mr. Blackburn, the Architect, had an audience of him on that
subject, as well as of the then Lord Chancellor; as Blackburn himself
told me.
