Queen's Square Place Westminster
6th May 1811.
Sir
Understanding at different times, from
different Gentlemen, Members of the Committee,—
that in calling me before them, the object of the
Committee has been — not merely to scrutinize into
the Contract to which I am a party, but also,
for the purpose of forming their judgement, concerning
the most eligible mode of disposing of such
part of the Convict Population of the Country as it may
not be thought fit to confine in Hulks or empty in
a lodging, to collect any
such informants, as, in any shape I might be found capable of affording—I
take the liberty of submitting in this mode, to your
consideration and that of the Committee, a few suggestions
on the subject of the Country Convicts.
After what has been read, and what has
been heard, if hope does not deceive me, there
exists at present, on the part of the Committee, a
a disposition to recommend to administration the
execution of the Panopticon Plan. If that not merely
whoevers factory is to
be the senses of the Committee
that the conceptions,
I had been
led to entertain, as
expected in this part
suitable, our h—h beginning
with the words
or lathes what has been read and in the next farewell enquiry with the words 'above on
numbers weve not altogether connect or that for
other reasons it was thought better they should
be omitted I send it accordingly as canalled
20 May 1811 Jeremey Bentham
George Holford Esq.
Chairman of the Committee
on Penitentiary Houses
