    Amended from the Notice alluded to in the above letter.

    Notice is hereby given In pursuance of the standing order of the House of Commons of the... of... 1774. that application is intended to be made to Parliament in the ensuing session, for leave to bring in a Bill and obtain an Act to explain and amend an Act made in the 34 th Year of the Reign of his present Majesty intitled "An Act for erecting "a Penitentiary House or Houses for confining and employing convicts" and to enable the Feoffee or Feoffees, to be appointed under the authority of the said Act, to treat with the Dean of the Collegiate Church of Saint Peter Westminster for and in behalf of himself and the Chapter of the said Church, as also with the Rector of the Parish of Saint John Westminster, and with the Vestrymen of the United Parishes of Saint Margaret Westminster, and Saint John Westminster, in joint Vestry assembled, in behalf of themselves and the several other persons interested, or claiming to be interested, in a certain piece of waste Land known by the name of Tothill Fields, situate in the said two parishes, for the purchase of their retrospective rights and interests, and to such part of the said Land as shall be found necessary for the purpose of the said Penitentiary Establishment, after the reservation and allotment of a certain portion or portions, to be divided among, and allotted in severalty to, the several parties interested, in proportion to their respective interest and exigencies, in such manner as Parliament shall direct. The words in the printed advertisement are " rights and interests" Interests and exigencies had been preferred, because in point of quantity of ground the supposed exigencies of the Parish were known to be more extensive, than, in one event, their rights and legal interests would prove to be. This alludes to the Ground wanted by them for a New Poor House.

    Sir Your marginal observation is better omitted, for reasons which I could explain. If you look at the Gazette, you will find the Order of the House is not referred to. You will see the advertisement, in the Gazette of tomorrow, Thursday, and Saturday next after. In the Times, Truce Brutor, and Oracle of next Week: which will be quite sufficient and fully comply with the Order of the House. But if you wish to send the notice as you mention, you [had] better order some or all of these papers to be sent you next week.

    I am your most humble servant Joseph White.
