3. Panopt. Answer to Ford

upon the occasion , it only gives Mr Bentham
for his Penitentiary Plan, and that for a single
year in one case , and for two years in another ,
what it is now giving to Mr Campbel , and
would continue to be giving to him otherwise, for
his Hulk Plan.

Mr Ford assumes, as it was very natural for him
to do, that of the £27,000, £15,000 was for the
Building , since £15,000 is the difference between the
£27,000 (the sum demanded for the first year / and
£12,000 (the sum demanded for every subsequent year
for the 1000 Prisoners /: and an inference equally natural
was , that, as Government had paid that sum once
for the Building to Mr Bentham , it should not
have to pay that sum over again to his Representatives.
But no such line of distinction was ever
drawn on either side till now. Mr Bentham's proposition
was — "Land with a fixed price to it has
been appropriated to the purpose of a Penitentiary
"House — You give Mr Campbell £27,000 for every
"year for maintaining Prisoners on the Hulk Plan—
"Give me that sum for the first year only , I will
"buy the Land, I will find Buildings , &c. and for every
"year I will maintain the same number for £12,000.
"Here then you have the Penitentiary Plan for the
"first year at no more than the expence of the Hulk
