that by a Judicious and economical use of the Funds of the

Charity, not only Vagrants may be maintained but all the other

</
lb

beneficent intentions of our pious, and benevolent Ancestors

may be attained without interfering with the Funds arising

from Locks and Fowkes Benefactions.

That, in the forming an new arrangement at Bridewell,
<
lb

</
lb

it will be proper to make use of the present existing accommodation
<
lb
>
</
lb

and of the Persons now on the establishment, as far as may be
<
lb

</
lb

done, and not to remove any person or vary anything in the
<
lb

</

House if such person or Thing can be effectually, and properly
<
lb

</
lb

applied towards the execution of the original plan of
<
lb

</
lb

Bridewell: which, your Committee apprehends must be adhered
<
lb

</
lb

to as far as is practicable and its benefits are wanted by that part
<
lb

</
lb

of the Community for which it was intended: and that by so

making use of such accommodation, and Persons the Corporation
<
lb

</
lb

may save expence in the outset, and avoid, as to individuals,
<
lb

</
lb

who have been long on their establishment, the dismission of them
<
lb

</
lb

in case they prove willing, and able to assist effectually and
<
lb

</
lb

usefully in promoting the objects of the institution.

That, your Committee has thought it necessary to inquire
<
lb

</

what effects have been produced in Bridewell by the present
<
lb

</
lb

expenditure, but not with the View or, consequence of criminating
<
lb

</
lb

any individual, as they have the satisfaction in being able to
<
lb

</
lb

say, that my existing defects in Bridewell, arise, from an
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
improper system of operation rather than from the misconduct
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
of any Person employed, and that the blame, if any, is to be
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
imputed to the system of management, and not to the Persons to
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
whom the execution has been entrusted. But as the defects of
<
lb
>
</
lb

that system cannot be properly corrected, without their being
<
lb

</
lb
>
detailed and explained, your Committee, has thought it necessary
<
lb

</
lb

to go into an inquiry on that subject, and to state to the Court
<
lb

</
lb

the effects of that inquiry.
