Hard-labour Bill - Supplemental observations.

It is plain therefore that the difference, between the value
of the work they might do if at large and that of
the work they are to be put to in these houses, is
for the time their confinement lasts so much loss to the public. The public
as well as they themselves suffer likewise in another view: if their
confinement is long they may have lost a good deal
of their skill by the time it is over, a good deal
of their skill.

paragraph

The following expedient if it answers the purpose
in other respects will obviate the inconvenience above-stated
Let the service of the convict for the term
specified in his sentence be assignable to any mas-
-ter that will have him: the powers of such masters
to be the same as a master in common has over
his apprentice.

paragraph

As a check upon undue severity on
the part of the the masters, let the servant have it in
his option at any time allowing a proper time for
warning, to return to the labor
