At the ANNIVERSARY MEETING of the SOCIETY,
held at Freemasons'-hall, Great Queen4treet, on Monday, the
2d of :lune, 1823, his Royal Highness the Duke of GLOU-
CESTER. Patron, in the Chair, the foll Owing ResolutiOns
were unanimously agreed to
It was moved by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Chester,
and seconded by Lord Calthorpe,
I. That the substance of the Report which had been now
teed, with such additions thereto as may be considered ad-
visable, be printed and circulated, under the direction of the
Committee.
It was moved by Earl Grosvenor, and seconded by Sir James
Mackintosh, M.P.
2. That this meeting uenves sincere gratification from the
increasing prosperity, and usefulness of this institution, from the
public interest which continues to prevail for the improvement
of prison discipline, and for the measures now in progress for
the erection of new anti the amendment of old prisons. That,
notwithstanding, however, the visible progress of amelioration,
it is yet painful to reflect that a considerable number of prisons,
'especially those under local jurisdiction, are devoid of classifica-
tion and employment, and of that discipline which can alone
'correct and reclaim the offender, in some cases confounding in one
common association the several distinctions of character and
Crime, and are otherwise in such a state as to call imperiously
for the interference of the Legislature. That it is, therefore, with
antious solicitude this meeting looks forward to the completion
of those measures which are now before Parliament, for the con:
solidation and amendment of prison law's; convined that legis-
latiVe enactments, founded on wise principles, are indispens-
' able, before the prisons of this kingdom can be regulated by a
system that will at once deter the criminal, yet promote his re-
formation, and add to the public welfare and security by the
prevention, of crime.
It was moved by Wm. Wilberforce, Esq. • M.P.; and se-
conded by Sir Thomas Dyke -Acland, Ban. M.P.
3. That the respectful thanks of this meeting be presented
to the Magistracy throughout the kingdom, to whom the 11,14
provement of prison discipline has been so essentially indebted,
for the cordial Co-operation which they have evinced, in pro.
!noting the designs of' this institution. •
It was moved by the Right Hon. J. M. Barry, M.P.; and
seconded by W. Caras Wilson, Esi. M.P.
4. That'the situation of a criminal youth disposed to abandon
his vicious courses, but discharged from prison without money,
character, or friends, is one which has strougeleims as well on
the interests as on the compassion of the public. That the nu.
merous boys' thus circumstanced, who, on their liberation from
the goals of the Metropolis, have received relief from the Prison
Discipline Society, and the success of its endeavours 'to reform,
entitle the Institution to the warm support of the enlightened
and benevolent; and that it is, therefore, with deep regret this
Meeting learns that the Committee have, during the past year,
been compelled to deny assistance to Many whoni timely relief
might have rescued from guile and misery.
It was moved by the Right lion. Sir 'George Rose, Bart.,
,111. P.; and seconded by the Rev. Thomas Loyd, n
loyd, of He.
ford.

,S. That the grateful thanks of this Meeting be presented to
Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, for the benefit
which the institution has derived front his illustrious patron-
age, the obliging readiness with Which he has participated in the
labours of the Committee, and for die urbanity with which he
has presided on the present occasion.
The object of this Institution is to extend those principles,
and promote. those desis, to diffuse which the labours of
Howard, and other eminent philanthropists, have been di-
rected. The Society ascertains and recommends those plans
for the regulation of prisons, which experience bus proved bon.
calculated to inspire the criminal with the dread of imprison..
'tient, and to induce him,. on his liberation,, to abandon his
'guilty habits. The Society collects and transmits information,
prints and disperses useful publications, prepares such de-
signi for the erection of new and _alteration of old prisons,
as are best adapted to ensure the classification, inspection,
religious instruction, hard labour, and regular employment, of
the criminal.

.....
In the course of their visits to the gaols in the metropolis,
the Committee very frequently meet with thstitute boys, who
on their discharge from confinement, literally know not where
to lay their heads. To assist such friendless outcasts has been
the practice of the Society, anti to render this.relief more efli-
cscious, a Temporary' Range has been established for such as
are disposed, to abandon 'their vicious courses. This .asylum
.has been instrumental in affording assistance 'to a considerable
number of distressed youths, who, but for this seasonable aid,
must have resorted to criminal practices for support. On ad.
mission into this establiShment, the boys ;u:e instructed in moral
anti religious duty, subjected to habits of order and industry,
and after a time are placed in situations wrileh afford a rea.
tunable-prospect of their becoming honest and useful members
of.tOciPtP, •
ro extend these objects; and to render its exertions more
widely-, beneficial, the Society solicits the aid of public be-
nevolence. Its expenses are unavoidably serious, and its feeds
are of .present very low ; but it is trostvl.that pecuniary sup.
port will not be withheld, When it is considered, that on the li-
berality with which this appeal'is answered depends, in a great
measure, the success of the Society!s objects--the reformation
of the vicious; and the prevention of crime:
