66 §.7. (30)
working hands: of the weekly earnings of the other 16 the average
amount not to so much as, in the Claimant's prison, might, as
above, have been reasonably expected to be the amount of daily earnings.

6. Observation 6<hi rend="superscript">th.</hi> In comparison of the shortness of the
time, during which, in the Southwell prison, the prisoners would,
upon an average have to continue yielding profit by their earnings,
the length of the time during which they would have had to continue
in the Claimant's prison, will, it is presumed, present itself as constituting,
in favour of the latter, a source of considerable, as well as unquestionable
advantage.

in the case of the Panopticon, setting aside such of the prisoners
as would have been continued in the exercise of their own trades, those
which would have been put to the carrying on the new-invented
operations, would, even from the first, have found, in the simplicity
of those same operations, means of acquiring considerable earnings,
at periods far earlier than those which have place in the instance
of the general run of ordinary trades, in which any very profitable
degree of dexterity and skill is seldom required, but at the end of
a more or less considerable course of experience: - a course of no less
length than 7 ears, according to the notion to which the system
of obligatory Apprenticeships owes it birth and continuance.
And thus, in this class of instances, comparative earliness of commencement
would have been added to comparative length of continuance.

As to those who would have been continued in the exercise
of their own trades, by the supposition, they would have come in
already endowed with their full complement of skill and
dexterity, from the very first.

Of the average comparative length of continuance in the
two species of prisons, some kind of estimate might, perhaps, upon investigation,
be deduced. But, as in the first place, this enquiry, successful or
unsuccessful
