XVI Imposed Portaged
(a) That this plan of the Duke of Portland's taxing crowding
Gaols and taxing the Counties [by his own authority absolute
power] was not in every point of view a new one, appears
from a Memorial, of provided by the Middlesex Justice to his Grace about
16 months before, on the subject of the Note Answers committed
[by him with] to Cold Bath Fields. The Memorial is printed
at length in the "Papers presented to the House of Commons relating
"to the His Majestys Prison in Cold Bath Fields. Ordered to be
"printed 18 Dec<hi rend="superscript">r 1800. pp 78, 79.</hi>
"His Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the County of Middelsex ...
"do ... humbly entreat Your Grace to take into consideration the difficulties
"under which they labour; which are yet further increased by
"the addition of so great a number of Prisoners of the above description."
[State Prisoners] "to those whom the House of Correction was originally
"intended to receive, and with which it is crowded to a great degree
"of inconvenience" ....
"They also beg leave to observe, that a very great additional
"expence has been incurred on account of Prisoners of the above
"description; which expenditure, as the various Burthens upon the
County that are already very severely felt, they are deeply concerned
"to be under the necessity of adding to the ordinary charges
"of the Prison; but this Expence the Magistrates confidently hope
"will be reimbursed to the County, on a fair statement of the
"several particulars."
