to the most approved calculations, force may be obtained
at as cheap a rate, as if the same quantity of force
being obtained from men, such men were to be paid
no more than from 2d 1/4 to 3d or thereabouts a day.
That on the faith of the treaty above mentioned, and
at the earnest sollicitation of your Memorialist, your
Memorialist's said Brother was prevailed upon to
quit the design of carrying on the said works by Steam
Engines, and to confine his plan of operation, to such
sort of machines as would be capable of being worked
by human labour.

Capital already expended,
above £6000 —
That your Memorialist and his said Brother
have already expended upwards of £6000 — in thechinery
prosecution of his said inventions, the whole of which expenditure has either been
incurred with a view in the first instance to the employment
of convicts under the said treaty, or else
transferred to that purpose from its original destination.
11
Loss sustained by Memorialist's
Brother of his situation abroad.
That your Memorialist's said Brother, having
now for upwards of three years, in compliance with the
said sollicitations absented himself from the service of
the said Empress, hath at length lost the provision
made for him in that service, being the command,
in quality of Colonel, of a Regiment of 2200 men
composed of two Batallions, the command of either of
which would have been a situation of more advantage,
as well in point of pecuniary emolument as of authority,
than the command of a Regiment in his Majesty's
service.
