Mr Bentham's Evidence 6
could now make any Advantage of the Inventions in the
proposed Penitentiary House, more than Half the Terms
would be expired.
After a Variety of unsuccessful Attempts, in which
no inconsiderable Part of the Money was expended, we had
already succeeded in executing by Machinery, Planing Work; Sawing
Work, from large Timbers down to Veneers of an unexampled
Fineness; Wheelwork, in the small and in the great; Window
Sashes (the greater Part of the Workmanship and the Remainder
nearly finished); Sawing and Polishing of Stone; besides a
Variety of Branches of inferior Account; and the Number
was increasing every Day.-
Question 4.- What ground is it now proposed should be
purchased for the Purpose of the Establishment?-
Answer.- A part of Tothill Fields, together with
such
Addition from the Grounds adjacent (and which may be
purchased under the existing Act) as shall be necessary
to make up the Quantity allotted to the Establishment
by that Act.-
Question 5.- The Committee have understood that certain
Difficulties have attended the Choice of the Spot; - should
these Difficulties prove unsurmountable in the Instance of
Tothill Fields, is there any other spot in Contemplation
that you think would answer the Purpose?-
Answer.- I know of no other Spot whatever that would
answer the Purpose in any tolerable Degree, and at the
same Time afford any Thing near an equal Prospect of
seeing the choice finally approved. This is the last of
Four Places, each of which at the outset afforded me
Prospects
,
which in the three preceding Instances proved deleted text elusive.
Nothing could be more decided than the Approbation
bestowed upon this Spot upon the very first mention of it.
