Panopticon Bill. Metasylum

Whereas by a Statute of the 3d Year of King Charles
1st Ch. 4 powers are given to Parish Officers to set up & use
any trade, mystery or occupation for the setting on work
and better relief of the Poor and that without any exception of trade or place And Whereas none are
so deplorably & truly poor as those whose characters as
as well as other means of livelyhood are gone Be
it enacted that all Penitentiary Prisoners may as
well during their Penitentiary Terms as for ever afterwards
as also their respective Wives Husbands and
Children "exercise any such employments as they are
"apt for" any Statute forbidding trades to those who
have not served Apprenticeships as also any local
by-law or custom (the privileges of the Universities of
Oxford & Cambridge excepted) notwithstanding.

Art. 11.

Note.

N.B. This Special Non obstante seemed necessary to avoid trenching
upon Patents which the above cited Statute does by its
generality, doubtless without intending it.
