<p n="3212">February 1795</p>
<p n="3213">of these made by Mr Good and accusing him of mistaking the cases of the Patients<lb></lb>
Mr Good recriminated and a kind of Paper War ensued disreputable to the<lb></lb>
prudence and discretion of both Parties, which rendered it necessary for the<lb></lb>
visiting Magistrates to convene a Meeting of the two Gentlemen when after some<lb></lb>
discussion it was mutually agreed by them that they would appoint Mr Burrows<lb></lb>
of <rs type="placeName" id="LMSMGO55610_geo2590">Hatton Garden</rs>
<interp inst="LMSMGO55610_geo2590" type="placeName" value="Hatton Garden"></interp>
<interp inst="LMSMGO55610_geo2590" type="type" value="undefined"></interp>
to attend on behalf of the Partnership of Walford & Good<lb></lb>
(which has been since dissolved) until the pleasure of the Court should be known<lb></lb>
Mr Burrows has accordingly attended since the first of the present Month and<lb></lb>
appears to be a <rs type="occupation" id="LMSMGO55610_occ1321">Gentleman</rs>
<interp inst="LMSMGO55610_occ1321" type="occupation" value="Gentleman"></interp>
of great merit in his profession.</p>
<p n="3214">The Sick have almost all recovered during the three Weeks they have<lb></lb>
been under his care and the former expence of Wine (which was enormous)<lb></lb>
constantly ordered for the Sick Prisoners some of whom turned out to be<lb></lb>
impostors was almost instantly reduced three fourths by Mr Burrows.</p>
<p n="3215"> The Surgeons Book which at the commencement was very confused and<lb></lb>
irregular is now kept (on the suggestion of one of the Magistrates who ruled<lb></lb>
columns on purpose) in a very correct manner and the proper Entires made<lb></lb>
every day by Mr Burrows.</p>
<p n="3216">Quere 4Is there any care taken of the Prisoners Religious<lb></lb>
instruction and is their Attendance on Divine<lb></lb>
Service duly enforced?</p>
<p n="3217">AnswerIt is with great pleasure that the visiting Magistrates bear<lb></lb>
testimony of the singular merit Zeal and abilities of the Revd. Mr Owen to<lb></lb>
whose peculiar and apposite mode of instructing the Prisoners is to be<lb></lb>
attributed a greater appearance of Attention and even devotion than perhaps is<lb></lb>
to be found in any Prison in Europe. The attendance of the Prisoners is a<lb></lb>
regular and their behaviour decent and proper, one at least of the visiting<lb></lb>
Justices have considered it as their duty to be always present during divine<lb></lb>
Service on Sunday and they have uniformly been gratify'd in an eminent<lb></lb>
Degree in consequence of the apparent impression which the Religious and<lb></lb>
moral instructions delivered by Mr Owen seemed to make upon the minds of<lb></lb>
the Prisoners who appear to be much attached to their Pastor.</p>
