ton in the bill; the labour & use of the premises are charged at a rate The honesty of the men in taking advantage of
very much below the ordinary rate of payment— the total rate
per ton of the vessel produced is a vessel very well able
to carry guns which will make it equal in force to any of the
gun brigs, though this vessel (including the £50 unnecessary pounds) comes
to nor more than £ per ton.
"No 39, Mr Poores account" Before I enter into the particulars
of Mr Poores account, it may be necessary to observe that
I did require particulars from him, but observing at the same time
that "he best knew what would required" this I supposed he would
be well acquainted with, in consequence of his frequent mercantile
transactions with the No3; & I have all along held up to him
that the No3 would have to examine these accounts, & that they
would probably be scrutinized with an unusual degree of attention
Article 4 "least paid" I request an explanation of the No3 observations
on this head, as I am at a loss to make up any sum
of the amount of 266.11.2 forwhich no services are mentioned.
A5 "Wages" The particulars are now specified, but I must observe
that the rate of payment way very much enhanced, by the
difficulties made in the to the lending of there men at the
outset of the business, whereby wage caused these men thought
themselves justified in refusing to work at Redbridge for less
than the exorbitant sum of 9 shillings per day.
Articles, "7 to 11 inclusive. These charges I myself thought exorbitant
& took no small pains to induce Mr Poore to diminish them but
without effect. Mr Poore alleges that they are made at a rate similar to what
other merchants & builders would have charged; -& I must confess that there seems
reason upon examination into the prices paid by Government for the
building & repairs of vessels to believe that the profits of individuals
cannot in many instances have been less.
