"more than two turnkeys from morning to night, without
"allowing them leisure for any other employment."*
N<hi rend='superscript'>o 8. Page 26. "If the undertaking were not unsuitable
"to my character and habits of life" (says the worthy Magis-
trate) "I would not hesitate to contract for the profits of
"the prisoners' labour, (if they were allowed to work in
"their respective callings, and in such other labour as is
"proper for prisoners,) and so pay the County £400 per
"annum."
Waiving, though but for the moment, an observation
suggested by the hypothetical offer, by No 8, I
come now, my Lord, to the second part of my text. Good
or not good as it might be for the Counties to be forced
to corver cover themselves with these improved prisons,
so it is, they will nbot all of them at least suffer them-
-selves to be thus forced. Submitting to the tox tax di-
-rectly and actually imposed upon them, first by his
Grace, and now by Your Lordship, for the maintenance
of prisoners whom Parliament has ordered elsewhere — sub-
-mitting to this tax, perhaps for what ofwant of having
so distinct a view of the noble hands to which they
are indebted for it as this disclosure will now help
them to, they demur beforehand to the much
heavier as well as less directly imposed tax, also declared
to be in store for them -- the tax of loading them, a la Vanbrugh, with Blackburn architecture. The tax for maintenance
*A specimen of the expence of the official establishments upon
the plan of the prisons especially when on the gally-
-pot scale.
