called upon to "make his arrangements" he had accordingly
laid out thousands, upon the faith of the
original agreement as above stated.
It is now two years since every thing was agreed
upon, every thing in black and white, ready for signature,
had the consent of the Land-owners been forthcoming.
During all this time the benefit of General
Bentham's mechanical inventions, diverted at Mr Bentham's
instance from what would otherwise have been their application to this (of doing the work by the
labour of Convicts instead of the more advantageous
mode by steam) has been lost: one seventh of the
term of his patent has been consumed: workmen,
collected with great difficulty, have been kept in waiting
(without a possibility of making any thing saleable
of their work) at a great expence. No idea has
been ever entertained of making Mr Bentham
any sort of satisfaction for these losses. Such are
the circumstances under which Mr Ford (surely for
want of being sufficiently apprised of these) proposes
that Mr Bentham's Representatives should be
loaded with a new charge to the amount of £15,000.

in regard to other points, and could have very
little apprehension from in regard to this, supposing the
