Butchers Andrew Goss employedrby Alderman Noble. Samuel Wallis, Baker The Commissioners introduced the bustness by observing, • That in conseciuence . of his comMunicatian to'' Government respecting the.. French Prisoners at Stapleton, they had requested the Mayor to ad.: mit of this' present Meeting , before him, with which rest he had politely complied: It is the Cause of Humanity and of National Honour which is now before them, to Which the feelings of Englishmen are„ and always were, most emi , newly alive. In a word, it is the Charaderistic of the Nation. Above twenty thousand French Prisoneirs have .been thrown upon the: compassion of this Coun try, having been abandoned by their own vernment in a manner :contrary to . the Aisage of civilized nations, and exposed to perish from the want.of Cloathing. On the other hand, ,the - Bri. tish Government provided in- this respeCt for all our Countrymen carried Prisoners. into France. Though the most urgent remonstrances had . been matte on the, subjeel, bdth through the French. Agent in London and the English• Agent at Paris, they had hitherto been without eifeet, and almost without • attention. In these remonstrances it had been repeatedly stated to the French Govern ment throughout the smitiner,. and down : to the approach of winter, what serious conseqtremes must necesSarilrensue to the' health of their peo ple : consequences,, such as. no. Food could . re. lieve,. nor Medicine prevent ; such as nothing but a suitable and timely provision of .Cloaths.tould obviate, by defending the :unhappy men from ;the . rigours of the season,' Whar Was foretold, has, in some degree, already came to pass, The' ood which.kept the Prisoners it . health during the 'summer, and in a stare of health beyond fbrmer example in proportion; to their numbers, tould not be expected to save them from pulmonary and those other disease;; which unavoidably 'must at. tack the human frame exposed to damps and to cold. . Without Cloatbing -it will be• impoisible, be their food wiat it may, to preservee their' lives . . it ,was therefore the intention of GoVernment. to • take up a business . , so far at least as may beab,. iolutely necessary, which, with equal injustice . to this Country and cruelty to their own people, has' been entirely omitted by the. Enemy. The Commissioners observed, that: they stt uld. en. deavour,, on their part; to alleviate thd. mitfor. tunes of these deserted Prisoners as. much as pos.. sible, anti should cheerfully recommend to Go. , yermnent some further means, which they had in contemplation, for the redation Of their distress. • it was, however, with some degree of pain, that they thought it necessary to observe the ex , Wine profligacy" of the Prisoners themsel,os, who were, for the .Most.part, men captured in lirivatccrs, which had been'fitted out to plunder our. ...OMMerce. • They Were, as it might 4C expeard, hi general the lowest of a nation; not too.remarkable for . their purity of 'principle or of Comilla, Siich, it must be said, was their common prolligacy and invincible love of gaining is all the depPits, that they had been led to sacrifice their present ration Of. Provisions, their Cloathing, the Bedding , sup_ plied,by our Government, and whatever else :they could procure, to the indulgence of thi!s miserable vice, It was far frontthe wish of the C0111: 1 U15•- - siOners to speak hardily of men inCaptivity ; but they had Many strong reasons to fear, that nineh of the, intended supply, of ClOaths would presently vanish, without imparting the comfort intended by it. They were, however, authorized to make the experiment, and - should gIA in the' event to find, that Cl)* e>.pOtations were un founded. • .. The Commissioners stated, , that, .with regard. ,to the. business of this meeting, Governreent hav_ ing received a Letter from the .tight • Worshipful, the MayPT of this City, irl ' elosillg another: signed by Messrs :Thomas Batchelc ? r and Thotnis An drews,; they should desire them to be read, and sueli questions to be propowd to the parties COO. cerried, as, might • lead to the diseovery of the. ritke4.t. truth., which it , ss is their and tlwir duty to embrace, wherever it might be , found. The two following. Letters were then I. A Letter fiat%) Gibbon;„ Mayor of Bristol, to GCOTge P.ow, Esq. Zia beemaler, 1800. 2. A Letterfrom Messrs. Batchelor an, 0_ draws, to 'William Gibbons, Esq. dated ill istui, - 40th December, r Soo. 'he Commissioners theti asked l'Ar. itehelor, how many Prisoners lie saw naked, and if they , were for the most part so ? He answered, that he believed ',About five or silt were naked ; not quite nal:ed, but nearly so ; they might be covered with a rag. 01,c poor saw. With respct to the - Bread ,(some-pf which, of different lakings,. was produced).: The Commissioners asked Mr. Batchelor,from vsilienee he coned...A the pungent, taste in the Pread'to arise? His reply . wasi'he then supposed ' the. Bre:4M* pade froin some very bad Flour,' Which waS'sOld . soMe tirde since at the Head Of the. Quay, Bristol, and about which some - riots took pittee. .Ja*es r jun: the biker errip!ora Mr. Noble, was 'sivOrn- and deposed, that he did, ac. cording to the 'best of his power and knowledge, supply the Prison with good wholesome Bread, according. r the terms -of the Contrad ; and that When he could procure Wheat he ,-,got it, and if not, Flour; ,that he never bought any of the Flour which-teas sold. at , the Head of the Quay. On the Bread then before the Meeting being protloccd to him, and-his inspeaing the same, he , . deposed, that the same 'was; a fair, sample of the general supply .of the. Prison, and not Bread made , far. any particular view or motive. The same Bread was then shewn to, and CU- . mined by three Prisoners '• from Stapleton, who ; declared their decided{ opinion, that such Bread was a fair average sample of their general supply -1- they never saw any Bread„aithe Prison which could be termed inCimous, or to eat. /5.11. This Bread was, examined -by many of the,,GentleMeu present, and declared good and wholesome. Upon.the, subject of the -Meat, Mr, Batchelor observed, that he:thought himself justified in be. lie ving generally bad, because the: :Beef was returned ay, such the day after he visited the,Pri son.; and that Mr. Tyson, a butcher, had in spdled ir, an&protiOunced it barely whOlesome; that a piece weighing seven,perunds and ahalf was toured, when divested of the hone, to weigh only four pounds ; and that he also ,conceived hithself, justified in calling what he saw Carrion. The' Commissioners then, asked Lieutenant Ormsby, the Agent at Stapleton Prison ) , whether the Prisoners who:Were appointed to inspel' the Meat had Objeaed to any on the 16th inst. I Lieutenant Ormsby: saids, they had nude no objeaion, on that day, -but that on the day before some meat had: been returned as unfit- .to the 'butcher. Lieutenant. , Ormsby, also said, that, whenever the Prisoners saw .cause to find. fault _ with the Provisions, they 'almost invatiably.ob. 'jaded, foltoNoble, Esq... Alderman of the City, was then, interrogated try ,the Commissioners as to his concern in supplying,the Prison with Provisions -; ,rO)6 said, :Mat He had no concern, dirally or indirdlly, 'in the profits of the Contract ; that MS advantage is a per centage on the stuns expended ; and that he has from the. Contractor, Mr. (=-mart of Lon, 'don, unlimited Orders to'procure good Provisions ; that the Contrador has, in two instances; Where complaints were Made to hittv,, been very much hurt ;" and' that, as Mr.''Qrant has not limited Mr. Noble expcnce, if any fault attaches, 'it must be. to himself, and not to Mr. Grant. Mr. Noble ,gives 375. 4d. per citit',.for Beef, but-he . .has-made no standing Contra-8. -with the'-Dutcher; and Baker, for either Beef or Bread,,beeausevhe thought,: tirA, : by - avoiding standing Contrads, he should also avoid tomplaints ;. that:he hay; 1- g(flated 'the - prices ,wide the-.!Baker accordinz to the weekly price returned- to the- Magistratel.-,-- : Printed by ANAN A NI," (t tow-Strcet, Ciooat-Gardei At the ."3uN.C)Ftcl, No, i 1 z, Strand ; wiltre Adtutrtitiments,. Urdert fi wretch upon removingthe.rut, aiscorereil a large plaister : he cannot say h,ow many' were . partially naked by want of Shoes and Stockings,. but ap prehends he saw about one hundred in that state. The Commissioners then asked Mr. Batchelor touching his assertion, 4" . the yard some inches deep in mud; " whether he did not see that in the long and wide areas between and on the side of the buildings the ground,has been raised and levelled, and covered with stones, broken, so as to render the whole as dry as pofrsible ? Whether such areas are not in a convex form ? Whether gravel is attainable here ? What better mode could have been adopted to cover-so large apiece of ground To theSe questions Mr. Batchelor replied That the whole of the Court-Yard was cover ed with mud ; that he went through all the areas; that the persons who - attended him were Mr. Thomas Andrews, and a Mr. Linch, of the North Lincoln Militia ; that there was a gutter for car rying off the water; that there was a quantity 'of rough stones dispersed about the areas, but that there .were no *workmen then there, nor did he know of any sum of money allowed by Govern ment to repair and put in order such areas ; and that the time he so saw the Prison, &e. was ,On the morning of the i 6th inst. and he remained there from half past eight to near ten. The Commissioners then asked Mr. Ormsby, whether, he had -not received orders from Govern_ ment to ,make the fit• and comfortable ? To which he replied, he had received orders from Government in 04ober last, to have it dope ac cording to cons is for e7gl. and that workmen were constantly upon it from that time ; and that, by the 16 , 11 of December - inst. more than three parts in four of the 'Yard were prbperly fi-, nished ; and that he conceived steening (the man ner in which it was doing) to be preferable to paving, as being hiss likely to be subjcka to ter lodging upon it; and that the ground which was unlevelled was owing to the new buildings, then not quite completed, and especially the Yard or'ground surrounding them. Concerning Mr. Biztcheloe.s assertion, that ":die BreadWasfusty and - disagree.rirle, leaving a hot pungent taste in the mouth. The Meat, which was. Beef o 4: the very wont quality, such , as appeared to us, not to be. wholeSorae. The quantiry,allowed to, each person was one pound of this infamous Bread, and half a pound of this Carrion Beef." The Commissioners asked him, whether he meant to affirm that. this Bread and .Meat were only CO on the parrienlar day he call. ed, or often.? lo which Mr. Batchelor answered, that he. only alluded to the day he was there, viz. the loth of December, and to what he then (Here Mr. Noble ceered`to enumerate ths weekly pricei through thy, current year, which the Com missioners thought unnecessary.) During the present month, the price cif Bread hits been 325. per cwt.'; during the month of November the price varied from 26s 6d. to 325. . Mr. Noble said, that he has always received notice ftom Mr. Ormsby when any thing has gone amiss, and that he (Mr. N.) has alway lowed up such noticeby application to the Butchers and Baker, • • (Tole continued.)
