Letter XII. Checks on the Contractor.
In short, bating the checks you have seen, and which certainly
are not very complicated, the plan of establishment which such a principle of
construction seems, now at least, if not for the first time, to render eligible
and which, as such, I have been venturing to recommend, is exactly up
a par, in point of simplicity; with the forced and temporary expedient
of the Ballast-lighters: a plan that has the most perfect simplicity
to recommend it, and, I believe, not much else. The chief differences
are, that convicts are not in the Inspection houses, as in those lighters,
jammed together, in fetters, under a master subject to no inspection, and
scarce under any controul, having no interest in their welfare, or their
work, in a place of secret confinement, favourable to infection and
to escapes.
