1794
Panopticon — To Dundas — Not sent
opposite to the article in question will be sufficient instruction
which points to touch upon and which to leave
The printed paper was for want of certainty with regard
to a few immaterial particulars conceived in the form of
queries. Any The decision you may be pleased to give
I am content to take if necessary subject to any inquiry with
regard to the facts: and in that case should be made
to depend upon the truth, in as far as material, of the
facts which the queries several matters of fact which allegations which it is the object of the
queries respectively to convey, under which a condition, I
flatter myself, you will not think it
Sir, it will not be deemed necessary that
the decision itself should await be suspended wait the
production on my part of for proof on my part in
support of allegations, of which it is apparent on upon the face of them
that they are either must long ago have been controverted if not true.
I have the honour to be, with all respect, Sir
Your most obedient and most humble Servant

but in as far as they
but in the instance wherever they
of such of them as concern
matters of fact
the import of allegation is as
evident
they convey allegations
the allegations they convey
are of themselves either notorious
or
Adherence to decisions
and those undisputed
being the only all
I have ever been
contending for
They if proof could
only have come,
and now has
come from the
other side
With regard to
the matters of
fact, or should the
decision at all turn
upon them
As matters of fact
being either
but as all I have
to contend for is the
adherence to undisputed
decisions
Addition for the printed Queries
1 The ground in question is incapable of being let
on a building leases. The fee is in the Archbishopric
See of York. Earl Spencer being Lessee for lives can not
lease for a term certain, at least beyond 21 years.
2 Other Spots contiguous and possessed of the same
advantages, with the best part of it (Mr Sewel's and another) have for these many years been advertized to let on building leases,
and in vain.
3. For culture no part of the land lets at fetches more than
£ 3 an acre: a great part of it not so much: Mr
Sewels (contiguous) not more than £ 40s and odd:
Rent 30 years purchase upon 80 acres at £ 3,
£ 7200: £ 600 only above the assessed price of 1782.
4. Mr Bentham is ready compensation be the increased
price what it will, is ready in consideration thereof, to
make any proportionable abatement that shall be thought
reasonable. No fit "proper" land could be made equally "convenient"
for him without an extra allowance of several pounds
a man a year, amounting to so many thousand pounds
a year for the Houses his thousand.
