Recommendation that

whether this to be ventured
on.

20 years since the proposal

ordered to take arrangement.

Memoranda for
A. & B.

To inquire on the
state of the Vauxhall
Bridge plan

on the Vauxhall bridge
Bill; and to suffer
not to suffer it to pass
except on the condition
of the turning the road
so as to prevent its cutting

through the ground
intended for Panopticon,
including the ground
that was to have been
purchased or within
the already purchased.

2. To take measures
for the bringing a
Bill for granting to

convicts and their
Panopticon employers
the same dispensation
from the Statute of
Apprenticeship as

has been granted
to Soldiers, and (or
believed) to favour.

Both terms were then
computed at no more
than 12/10 years perhaps
20 28 Report calculation
p.81.

Whether A. or B.
to make the observation
that putting the Panopticon
all in one place
would not necessitate
putting them under one
Manager.

When the first Manager
claims even at
an end, or before if
necessary, they might
be put under different
hands for the of
emulation and double
chance of improvement.
