-nally awarded price of £6,600, would make £9,999; and this,
to be paid on taking possession,
over and above whatever sum may be awarded in the nature of
a supplemental compensation, the estimate to be made, either by
a Jury or by private reference in the usual mode, at the option
of the Proprietors, and in either case to be dispatched with every
degree of expedition that depended upon me.
About a month ago, one day when Mr Pitt and Mr
Dundas honoured me with a call at my house, I happened to let drop in
conversation, that by means of some mechanical assistances, similar
to some to the use of which they had been witnesses, I would not
absolutely despair of being in readiness to receive my Prisoners by
the meeting of Parliament: in consequence they desired me to begin
my arrangements immediately, though at that time nothing was
signed nor so much as specifically settled: and now I am urged
to engage to have the buildings in readiness in six months, under a
penalty of five thousand pounds. Five years was the shortest
time looked to under the former plan: nine hundred, the number of
the prisoners: I am to receive a thousand. This will help your
Lordship
