Grounds of this Estimate - 1. "The average annual cost of each prisoner in

the Nottinghamshire "House of Correction" (viz the House at Southwell as

above) (says the said Mr Beecher in his evidence p.41 of the

above mentioned report. " computed according to the

last quarter, amounts only "to £8 " 7 " 11, ⱡ and upon an average of the last two years,

to the sum "of £9 " 5 " 5 1/2; which, from

accidental circumstances is higher than may again be expected." Thus far,

the Reverend Magistrate - To take that rate of profit which, to the

claimant, is the least advantageous of all these, six rates, say then as

above £9 " 5 " 5 1/2.

2. Add amount of salaries "in the Penitentiary "containing 1000, prisoners

" (meaning the Penitentiary which under the Claimants said contract was to

have been set up) viz on the footing of the calculation made by the same

gentleman in the same page H H Penitentiary Committee Report, p.41.

notes. ⱡ March 15, 1811 is the day on which this

Evidence was delivered: hence it is that I infer, that the quarter on that occasion meant, is the quarter ending 25.

Dec r 1810. But, in the table delivered in by the

same Gentleman, and printed in the same Report, the Year being, as above observed, every where left in blank, the quarter day all along referred to is the

24th of June.

# "But suppose" (says he) Penit y Report 31 May 1811

p.44) "But suppose the Governor, Chaplain and Surgeon of the Penitentiary

to receive the same Salary as at Newgate, and allowing for a Secretary with

a suitable number of turnkeys and taskmasters, the yearly

expence of such an Establishment apportioned among 1000

prisoners, will be only £1 " 15 " 0: which makes £10. " 2. " 11, if added
