At the Anniversary Meeting of the Society, held at Freemasons'
Hall, Great Queen-street, on Friday the 28th of May. 1824, the
Right lion Earl I: ROSVENOR in the Chair, the following Re-
solutions were unanimously agreed to :
It was moved by the Right lion. Lord Calthorpe, and seconded
by Thomas Fowell Buxton, Esq. 111 P.
Ist. That the statement now read be adopted as the basis of the
Sixth Report of the Society, and published, with additions, under
the direction of the Committee. That this Meeting fivls deeply
Impressed with a conviction, that the just punishment and moral
reformation of the Criminal, are essentially connected with the best
interests of Society. That it is with great satisfaction this Meet-
ing learns the continuance of amendment in many of the County
Gaols throughout the kingdom, in which Classification has been
extended. Instruction introduced, and Labour enforced; means
which experience has proved to be most efficacious in the correction
and reform of the offender.
It was moved by %Vol. Evans, Esq. M.P., and seconded by
Daniel Sykes. Esq. 31 P.
2d. That this Meeting observes, with deep regret, the wretched
condition of most of the Prisons under I.'orporate jurisdictions,
which arc entirely devoid of that discipline which can alone render
imprisonment conducive to beneficial ends ; many being in quite
as miserable a condition as when visited and exposed by the illus.
trlous Howard. and his philanthropic successor, Mr. Neild. That
a great number of the Prisons in question, although designed by
law ter the correction of the offender, are, in fact, so many public
establishments foe the growth and encouragement of crime, in
which humanity is violated, and decency outraged ; and that it is,
therefore, with anxious yet confident hope, that this Meeting looks
to the wisdom of Parliament foe the suppression of evils, as die-
eceful to the character, as they are injurious to the interests of
the coantvv.
It was moved by G. Holford, Esq. M.P., and seconded by
Samuel Hoare, Juo. Esq.
lid. That it is impossible to regard, but with great interest and
compassion, the condition of many hundred Boys in the Metro-
polis who derive their daily subsisterce from the commission of
Crime. That the situation of those who, on their discharge from
prison, are desirous of abandoning th,tir vicious courses, but who
are perfectly destitute, has &strong claim as well on the interestl
as on the benevolence of this community ; and that the means par.'
:Id by the Prison Discipline Society, foe the relief and reforms.
of such criminal youth, entitle the Institution to the warm
approbation and generous support of the public at large.
It was moved by William Allen, Esq. and seconded by George
long, Esq.
adi. That the retyertful thanks of this Meeting be presented to
the Magistracy throughout the kingdom. whose influence and exce-
llent/ hire been so beneficially directed to the Improvement of
Prison Discipline, for the information and assistance they have
afforded to the Committee of this Institution.
It was moved by the Right lion. Sir George Rose, Bart. M.P.,
and ateonded by Christopher Tower, Esq.
That this Meeting learns with sincere regret that indisposi-
tion has prevented his Royal highness the Duke of Gloucester,
the Patron, from honouring the Anniversary with his presence;
toad that while the Friends of the Society indulge thehope that the
health of his Royal highness may be speedily re-established, they
log to express the high sense they entertain of the valuable sup-
port which he has at all timers conferred upon the Institution.
. Upon the motion of Samuel Woods. Esq.
fith That the cordial thanks of this Meeting be respectfully pic-
keted to the Right lion. the Earl Grosvenor, for the benevolent
Interest with which he powerfully contributed to the formation of
Ws Institution, for the liberal support which he has uniformly con-
ferred on it, and for the ability with which he has presided over its
proceedings on this t.cession.
