Copy of Treasury Minute of 18th of March 1801.
Read Letter from Mr King, dated 17th Instant, in answer to
one from this Board, respecting Mr Bentham's Memorial
for an increased Charge in the Terms of his Contract, for
erecting a Penitentiary House, wherein Mr King states, that
under the present Circumstances of the Colony of New South Wales,
the Duke of Portland conceives, that at no very distant Period it
will be in such a State of Improvement, as to be capable of
receiving in each year the whole Number of Convicts which it
may be necessary to send from the different Gaols in the
Kingdom; and that his Grace concurrs in Opinion with my
Lords, that the Plan, if adopted at all, should be to a limited
Extent only; but with respect to any Compensation being
made to Mr Bentham, his Grace leaves it to the Determination
of this Board. And should their Lordships decide upon its
being adopted on a limited Scale, his Grace conceives that a
Building large enough to contain 500 Convicts will be sufficient.
Write to Mr Bentham, to know under what Terms
he would be willing to contract for building a Penitentiary
House for 500 Persons, and for maintaining them, if that should
be resolved upon; and if upon Consideration of that Proposal,
the Plan should be relinquished altogether, my Lords desire
he will inform them what Compensation he conceives himself
entitled to for his Expenses and Loss of Time in preparing for
the Undertaking.
