The Proposal of Mr Adams being an Additional Sum of £80. P Ann. to
his present Salary, supposing the future Expences to be equal to the last two
Years, the Saving to the County will be £52..15s..3 P Ann. It ought to be observed
the some Charge will arise, for the Maintenance of such Vagabonds as
may be lodged at Stains, Colnbrook South Mims and End field, perhape
about Six pence P Head: but on the other Side, as this Proposal is to
remove the Vagabonds from the Bridewells and other Lodgments in
Town Four times a Week instead of twice by the present Contract, Once
half of the Money now paid for the Maintaining of Vagabonds will be
saved which they apprehend will greatly over ballance the Charge at Staines
Colnbrooke , South Mims , and Endfield ; and the Vagabonds will by this
Proposal be more regularly conveyed, and incorrigible Roguies more
easily detected.
