Estimate

of the Expence attending the Purchase of a spot
of Ground for the proposed
Penitentiary Establishment
To consist of a Portion of the Waste called —
Tothill Fields,
with Lands in separate Ownership adjacent the quantity
in the whole to be not less than 79 1/4 (say 80) acres.

"This is the quantity in contemplation in the Contract between
the treasury and Mr. Bentham and specified in the Act (34 Geo:
B. ch 84) passed for the purpose of authorizing the Contract

+ These were the Rates and Prices mentioned by Mr. Willock Sand
Surveyor, as proper in the case of Land, to be purchased by Government,
in the Situation and of the qualities respectively abovementioned
Meadow Land (according to Mr. Willock) would in this
same Situation be worth bout L6 a Year Per Acre, instead of L8:
and if of the 44 acres there were to be 22 at L6 instead of L8, this
would strike off L1320 from the above price: but though there may
be almost as much Meadow as Garden Ground adjacent to the Waste,
it will not be easy (it is supposed) to obtain quite so much of the
cheaper sort of Land as the other.
