the nearest part of the spot in question, and the
Villas of the only two gentlemen who have happened
to be mentioned to him as standing in the front of the business:
the result is, that the one distance is pretty exactly
a mile, and the other about fourscore yards more. From
the particular spot intended for the Building, which in
effect only and not in appearance would be a prison, the
distance would not be so little by at least 1/4 of a mile more.
So much for unpleasant views. No part of the land is,
as far as he can learn, seen from either of those Houses.
Persons going from London to the proposed site of the
Penitentiary establishment, will not have to pass nearer
than the distance abovementioned to either of those Houses, can
not without going out of their way, set foot on any of the
four Roads by which the spot in question is surrounded.
So much for bad company.

Bad company may
be kept off how.
Your Memorialist has moreover a receipt for keeping
off bad company: which is, to admitt no man who
will not enter his name and abode in a book, and
stand further examination if required: with penalties
in case of falshood. Suspected persons might be known
by correspondence with the Police. Knowing they can
not get admittance without going through the test, they
will hardly frequent the spot, merely to put themselves
in the way of danger.
