sharp look out must turn a deaf ear to this or any other never come into any 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 may
the credit of the establishment will be hurt,</ad> but my own pocket
will be of hurt <add> 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 <add. no</add> spot at Limehouse
<delis can be lower (relation being had to high-water
mark at each place) than the whole
surface of Battersea Common Field.
