Grounds of Memorialists
expectations in regard
to the quantities of land.
pleasure, in relation to the quantum and parcels of land, to be
annexed to the said Penitentiary House, it seems necessary for
Your Memorialist previously to submit the state of his wishes,

80 Acres. —

Act of the Year 1779,# this same Estate had been intended to be
# 19. G. 3. c. 74.
allotted to the number of 900 Prisoners: a number which was not
in any event to have been increased; and for none of whom was any
provision intended to be made therein, after the expiration of their respec-

thereof as recited in the said Act) the whole of it in a state of separate
ownership, and high culture. —
In the now intended Penitentiary Establishment, under the
said Act of 1794, // the number of Prisoners for which Your Memorialist
