REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE.
" The Committee can continue their assurances to the Sup-
porters of this benevolent Institution, that all possible care has
been taken to ascertain that the Persons relieved were proper
objects of this Charity, and to prevent any abuses of it, either
by Debtors or Creditors ; and they have again the satisfaction
to observe, that amongst those relieved, several were officers
belonging. to the Navy or Army, who have been thus restored
to his Illajesty's Service.
" Theymust also repeat their acknowledgments to the General
Society in London, by whose aid they have been enabled to ef-
fect so much good, at so little expense ; who always have as-
sisted in the relief of objecti recommended by this Society, and
there is every reason to rely upon their continuing to do so.
" Besides the call of humanity in support of such an institu-
tion, the Committee beg to observe, that every individual in
the county has an interest in its success, as it constantly saves
a considerable charge to the county; for it appears, upon a mo-
derate calculation, that each certified Debtor, on the common
side of the Gaol, costs the country about ss. per week, accord-
ing to the price of bread and meat; and,calculating the persons
relieved to have remained in prison only six months longer
each, upon an average, their maintenance would have cost the
county more than it has the Society to set them at liberty, and
restore them to their families ; besides which, many of their
families-must have been burthensome to their several pa-
rishes. Upon all these grounds, the Committee found their
expectation of a continuance of that liberal support which the
Institution has already received.
" It only remains to conclude this Report, by an appeal to the
liberality of the County for the support of this Society, on the
ground of experience, that, in addition to the approved prin-
ciple of its institution, the practical execution of it has been such
hitherto, and may be expected to be such henceforth, as to com-
prise all the uses, and preclude any of the abuses, incident to it.
It is, with confidence, therefore trusted, that its Funds will in-
crease with the increasing demands upon them; and that a
Society, extending its benefits to the whole of the County, will
be etpially supported by Subscriptions from every part of it, in-
cluding the Isle of Wight, from whence many of the Debtors
have been discharged as Prisoners in this Gaol."
