Letter 3d
for that object £45 a year per head has never been no expence has ever been thought
too great in Your Lordship's Office, any more than
in the office underneath: I mean so long as improved
Colonies have been the scene of it. But
reformation is another thing. As to the ought
and the ought not, these are speculative points

it. If such be the fact, and (Your Lordship a
little farther on will see it is) in the most opulent
of all opulent Counties, what may it be
expected to be in the rest!? —
Grudged or not grudged, another fact is, is
must be confessed, that in some instances many more than I could <add>should have thought</add> the
money looked upon as necessary for this purpose has
been issued and prisons built accordingly: viz: these
improved prisons. (b) (b) Put Table from Nuld.
Improved prisons built, and what has been
the result,? In respect of reformation, separation
over-done, over-done in some many instances to the
degree of absolute solitude: in all of them, or at
least almost all of them, the influence of that
solitude at the same time disturbed at least, if
not utterly distroyed, regularly recurring associations.
In respect of economy, £1000 a year perpetual
rent, and for that £1000 a year £500 nexat profit - (neat in other respects) produced. Neat loss £50 per cent
of the rent: and to produce this loss — that is to reduce the
