sharp look out never come into any must turn a deaf ear to this or any other proposal
that threatens touches the health of the those people I am to
have in charge, for if they die, the prison proves unhealthy not only my
the credit of the establishment will be hurt, but my own pocket
will be of hurt picked by it, for the faster they die
the worse I myself must shall live their mortality
will be my prison.

Similarity of this
spot to that before
rejected at Limehouse
A spot at Limehouse had been proposed
under the old Act by some of the gentlemen on
whom the choice depended under that Act: it
had every requisite but this: it was strenuously
defended recommended by some; it had every requisite
but this: but for want of this it was opposed
by others, and the opposition prevailed. A
sentence to that spot would be a sentence of
death to a great part of the prisoners was the
opinion of the late eminent Physician Dr Fothergil,
as commemorated reported to your Memorialist
by Mr Howard. But the no spot at Limehouse
is can be lower (relation being had to high-water
mark at each place) than the whole
surface of Battersea Common Field.
