There are Iwo rows of cells; each cell'messering eight .feet by seven, and opening, in opposite di. **lons, into two airiest yards; thosetwo rows of cells ere separated by a narrow passage, which runs :troegh the centre of the building; end by a- pion ar. !Won in the middle of th i s p assa g e, which partit so built es to admit of a fire.olece on each side ;• is converted into what are termed two day.roonn,•, each '24 feat .long and .four feet wide.

But it is our duty to reMeelki that, from a mistake's. regulation for cleanliness, these stone-Oen ire washed every morn. loialie that' the damp is secured by the consequent elort'eriporation*. The yards besides are not paved with•fiakstones, with a proper slope to carry of *OW,* best with ill-laid paving.stones, in the open istersticiii of which water lodges at all times, when the yards are washed, and are seldom dry in the win. ler season. As far as regards the cello, the heat in lbeday.roorns cannot operate very beneficially through the apertures; as such a degree of heat can-only tend to raise the damp into vapour, which mast again be coadeused, and lodge en the walls avid bedding.- - The persons confined in this part of the prison ere generally not convicted, or ender punithment, and therefore cells appear unnecessary ; end the sudden transition from beat to told, suffered by those cam. !duet) to such cells, your Committee considers as ie. Priests to health ; and even were it not so, it infers a: degree of punishment not warranted by the circum silences in which those so confined are placed.— Your Committee therefore are decidedly of opinion, thit these cells should be pelted down, and a beild. 4 t u g t aised.to the height of the boundary wall of •the• prison, occupying less ground space, and coneqeently: leaving 'more spacious *bit% yards; and. in ',stir% proposed building, wards might be provided for the vs f i.us descriptions of prisoners, anthill's obviate the e iVs which the present arrangement forces on the no. t i;e of your Committee: • • Muse OF CORRECTION.—ht this-part of the build• log (as it was originally at no distant period• coo. strutted for debtors) the rooms are of an elceilent description, light and well aired. 'Dot as the, prison . was not intended for a Rouse of Correction, the largeness of the wards and want of separation and 5 . discrimination renders it not well suited for that par , / pose. Classification is altogether impracticable, ez. cept by having teeming: to a range of small rooms in front of the prison, where persons of lets criminal •• habits may be singled from the others. On the 9th of Mty' there were confined in this prison seventy. two persons. In the Hooey of Correction SR males and 14 females, and in the Giltspor side, c ommitted on charges of smelt, &c. lb males and five females, \ in all 72 persons; certainly not a large proportion of base Iwo the opinkukwhich your Committee have ventured to j, lreAS to the. allowance of food in Newgate, they Cannot disapprove' of the dietary stated in the eri a'enc.

The yiro. l . stiirs,,and -Pou t are regularly washed, and the walls frequently scraped and white-washed ; and on .tote - women's side of the House of Correction, there is an- escelleot washing-house, laundry, and 'other goneeniences,...well arranged aad its good order. In ;that outset the prison appropriated for the reception of charges, andsbase remanded for esamination, the same attention to personal cleanliness is impracticable; although tbereralso ezertions ere made for that put. pose, and on tunny occasions the rags of the persons committed are burnt, and clothing provided. In the IloWe•of Correction, es ,soon'as possible after corn mitrperds, the prisoners are examined by the Sur. gems, but frequently not before basing been sized with the other prisoners, and are washed, and prison clothes given to them ; if , h owever, they prefer wearing their own-clothes, it is permitted. As this pus at toe prhottis correctional, it might, perhaps, contribute to the desirable effects, that a marked dress shoold.not be dispensed with ; it would, besides, af ford a greater security against infection, and promote cleanliness. Babotno,—All the prisoners in .Giltspor-street Prisons are provided with wooden bedsteads in the cells appropsiaitd lot charges, and those for re-esa. initiation and vagrants/ two, and sometimes three, sleep in oast bed, but the latter, however, occurs very rarely. In the House of Correction, each pi :sorter bass separate bed, though all the beds nearly • joist euch other, -and numbers sleep its the tame room. The bedding consists of a• tick tellies', stuffed ',Fidel straw,' placed .rut canvass; cud for covering, two, rugs, or three, according to the season of the year ; but the prisoners are occasionally allowed to bring their own bedding into the wards, which is an indul geuce, the propriety of which may be questioned. TRZATMENT.—Ni I'. MOM, the present Keeper, seems to esert himself to do hrs duty in regulating the arrangements of the prison ; for the state of the cells he cannot be accountable; but in the House of Cot , section there SPPMs to be no unnecessary severity ; 1 ,rrhaps as a correctional establishment there may be too much indulgence. The prisoners are allowed to receive food brought in by their friends, end in the intervals of their work are allowed to corners* with the strangers who visit them. It certainty would increase the punishment, and not increase it beyond what is the legitimate object, to restrict these con• demned to hard labour to the prison allowance (tak ing care that such allowance is adequate f,r those subjected to such labour), and the prevention of free intercourse with those from without, would also render the punishment more impressive. It has{ however, been urged, that such severity would render the prisoners sulky, and induce other bad conse quences; this, therefore, is a practical regulation which ought to rest with the Magistrates, who will use their sound discretion. EMPLOYMENT.—The observations on this heed can only apply to the House of Correction ; the others, for obvious reasons, have no Pulpit)) client- It ap. peers that there has been a difficulty its devising em ployment for the prisoners, and until the flour-mill was erected in name of hard Isboor, they were chiefly employed in •pb-king oakum. The mill affords em ployment for 16 men ; it requires eight men to work the mill, and they labour and are relieved for 20 mi nute% alternately, during the working hours. For the first three months after the erection of the present improved mill., the men worked six hours by alter. trate spells, namely, from nine till twelve, and from one to four; the number of hours is now increased, sad they work by alternate spells, from seven in the morning till fire in the afternoon, including 'half an hour for breakfast, and an.hour for dinner. They formerly ground from seven to eight bushels per day; they now grind from II to 12 bushels. A few 'nth. viduals are employed as carpenters, tailors, and shoe makers ; and all who work are allowed a small pro portion of their earnings. Some individuals, not of a robust frame or constitution, are not employed at the mill; it appears to your Committees that means should be resorted to, to find work for p risoners of 1 this description. Ineramaair.—There is an Infirmary for the male prisoners, end another ward for the female prisoner'; the one on the Giltspur side, the other on thelaudgate; but there is only one nurse. On the female side a prisoner is generally so employed. In the evidence of Mr. Bea, the surgeon, he suggests that the oppo site ward to what is properly called the Infirtniry,' where males are received, and where the nurse sleeps. should be allotted as an Infirmary instead of the ward on the opposite side of the prison. This ar rangement appears to promise more convenience, as in the absence of the Surgeon both wards would more immediately be under the eye of the nurse;' although at present less conveniently placed, the accommoda tion is sufficient, and the Surgeon has authority to .order whatever food of cordials be thinks necessary i f . or the sick. Mr. Box, who is surg eon of Netvgate, ,ssolso•surgeon of this prison; and his successful at ttention is also manifested here ; for on the 9th of May there was not one patient in t h e Infirmaries, al. , thank sesepq-two were in confinement. -Tun Baastionsees-lt may be proper to notice this part.of the establishment, as from hence bread is sup . pltednotonly for Giltspur.street Prison,tbut also for Nurgate. The baker is a regular bred tradesman of kat% experience, and- he is assisted by two of the prisoners who had been bred to this occupation.-- The bread is of unexceptionable quality ; the doer used now is wholly ground in the prison, from 'wheat purchased try a respectable cernfoctor for lisp 1 Corporation. Previous to the establishment of this Otakehoule.. frequent complaints were made respect. \ in the contract bread furnished to Newgate ; but since the present system was adopted, it appears to your Committee, that there has been no ground of complaint, wills the exception of one-batch early' in the month of January ) which was bad ; and this was once to COO 101111), Your COOSAM Wing thus reported on each dis tinct bead, breadenew may observe, that sililsagbl strictly speaking, they mina; consider the construe ,tion of what was the Ludgate Prison, as that most !likable for a House of Correction, yet they must re port it as their opinion, that . it is airy, healthful, and well managed. As to the Giltspur side, after what they have deemed it their duty to state, with* respect to the cells in that part of the priso n ) the y hare only to repeat, it is the opinion of your Corn. mittee, that an alteration should be made, and they hare no doubt the court of Aldermen will , take t he suggestion iuto their serious consideration. ._..-. WHITECROSS-NTREET PRISON..• • • • I This prison is set apart for debtors, and has three dill di• vi-iuns. l.ndgate side, far those who are freemen of the city tit London, mid who. on commitment, . produce Certificalq• (culled a doucee) of their being freemen ; London side, for all ' 1 other debtors arrested w ithin the juri-diction of the city. las c h i ding such freemen M. at the time of arrest.neglect,toprocqr a doucce; and Middlesex side. the third and largest divishawl. for tame arrested in die canoty. ?beret is, honer cr,.a ieralpte divisitio for all females, whether of the city or county ; aqd pets ,att by wtirranis from the Court of Requests of the city chi Court of Requests of the county, are likewise committed to this prison. Memento , of opinionmay exit/las to•tbe allotment and ar rangement of prisons. according to the views of those who visit them; your Committee however, must express it ai their opi citia, generally, Abat as. far os they. can judge, the. prisoners here have nu just ground fur complaint, but, so many respects, the rever se. That itoprisonment..even in the case of debtors, should be productive of discomfoit, is a circumstance that cannot be avoided. li is. in ibeir•ellle 41. torpidly, for improvidence. and, sometimes for dishauesty ; void if misfortune has a shale, it may be lamented, but Kaman prudence canasta devise a perfectly dis criminative system:. la this prison. however, there is provision. made, at the expellee of the city of Londuu. for the absolute wants of those confined, by an allowance tit' food, sod ...fart be yond titan is distributed Otis believed) ist any . prison in the kingdom. This alintance of bread and me.,t is given to all who produce a certilicnte that they are poor. . T,heconsequenfe, is. that almost all have obtained such certificates. 'Your .Com. , 'ranee, towever. doubt the propriety el a-rale which may .be painful to some individual s-to com p l y witb,.but which, al, the I same timeoein be easily evaded, so that the object of the regti:' lotion is completely nonrated. Certain divisioas of the vino, have peculiar benefits, but these are derived from donations and bequests. The prisoners bave complained of fhe regula lions of the prisou I they complain of restraints as to thg hours w h e n strangers are admitted, and of the i r bein g excluded from their bedrooms during the.day. On such points, unless Waal festiy.oppressive, dour Committee avoid interfering. The re gulations for the good governmeat of the prison must rest with those whotag responsible; but as these puints have been forced. on the notice of your Committee, in ;lichee to the Magistrates they can state.. ulna the regulations, as approved by the Judges. seemed framed with a view to health, and its morality, 111111 eens necessary nod salutary an d the indulgences great us are consistent with the ioternal regularity of such a place of confinement, One improvement has been suggested, which would he con ducive to better order rtud cle'itUlille.9. 1,, appears that. on ale average, from fortytite t lif.y persons iohattit each day room ; and at the common fire t each ward all the victuals of those pers.ats, are cooked, and can be cooked no a here else a ithin the watts of the prison- Had a suitable kitchen been °fishtails presided fur each division of the prisou, to which the ;a flamers !night have had access. your Committee would have recomoaelidell, that cooking Witte wards should be forbid den. The Court of Aldermen base agreed to a Report from the Jail Committee of MiOstrates, that a general kitchen should be made under the Chapel; an oven to be built, and several large coppers fixed. Your Committee confidently look furward too material and most desirable change antis part of the inter nist ecounasy of the prison. Although the Keeper and the t urnke y s exert themselves to prevent ibe inireduction of spirituous liquors into the psms. yet a here there are so many females . daily a dmit ted, and ri there. is no female bean her but the 'mese (alto is so employed %hee l there is leispieloo). it is not to be supposed that such an irrega- Wir can lie altogether prevnt, and it my be worth/ of theat y tention df the Jail Committee to establish a more efficient check. The 4'f:emery. with the late improvements and addition, is now, by she evidence of the Surgeon, amply sufficient in ac commodation. It is particularly gratifying to your Committee to find that the Surgeons api.ottued to the City Prisons are so conscientiously attentive to their duty ; a favourable report has already been made of the conduct and successful services of Mr. Box, the Surgeon of Newgate and Gilispur•street (Atwitter, and it is with real satisfaction they bear a similar testimony iu favour of Mt. Wadd, the Surgeon uf Whitecross-street. The Under Keeper, Mr. Thacker. who lir the interim has acted -as Keeper, has apparently conducted himself with moderation and firmness; and there is no well-grounded complaint made against any part of. his cniuluct. It has been stated, that the prisoners confined forsmali debts are committed in this prison from the Courts of the county and city. The Keeper is authorised to receive the amount of debt and costs from the comely prisoners, and thereupon, provided. no detainer has ..been lodged at the prison, immediately to liberate; bat a debtor committed by a wat rant from the Court of .Requests of the City, from the practice of the jail, cannot obtain his liberation, until he procures what is termed a err:deism, which is a certificate signed by the clerk in the Se condaries' Office,_by the clerk of the (iilispur-street, aud by . the clerk of the Poultry Comp er, vouching that no detainers have been lodged against him in any of these three Uthees. , -- Tins form isAif itself a grievance where the debts are so trivial; and an impression having existed in she pt ism* that no pristioer, not eves a ( oust of Conscience debtor, could obtain a see/stales wait of office hours, or no a holiday, without paying a fee of 11.4.
