No 9 1, P. 41. "Few places of confinement can be under worse regulation
"than the New-Prison, . . . . The arrangement of the
"prison itself is such, as renders it impossible to prevent its being
"one of the most dreadful seminaries of vice and profligacy
"that can be imagined," [In this respect, I support <add>as
No 10 2 Pp. 42,43. "Four years ago . . . . plan and estimate . . . . laid
"before the Court; the business, was postponed sine die, under the
"idea, that the County rate, already burdened in a great variety
"of ways, would be found inadequate without great inconvenience,
"to the additional expenditure of £4000. But may we not hope,
"if application were made, where applications well founded will
"never fail of due attention, that such <hi rend='underline'>relief would be obtained,
"as, without adding to the burden of the county-rate, would
"enable the magistrates to carry the plan into effect?
No 11 3. P. 44. "What then may not reasonably be expected from one,
"who certainly feels, as much as any man, the importance of
"restraining vice, and of improving morals, to the welfare of society.ca*
"It would be impossible, I verily believe, to expend from the
"public purse four thousand pounds in any way more beneficial
"to the community than that which is here pointed out.
"* This testimony, it is humbly hoped, will not be consider'd
"as an instance of flattery to the great person here alluded to,
"but as a declaration, the truth of which, all to whom his
"character is known will readily confirm."
