by the encreased Allowance made to the Prisoners daily of

which many poor industrious Housekeepers who pay
towards the County Rate are able to allow to their Families

the Allowance of Butchers Meat to the Prisoners be abridged
and that three days in the Week no Flesh Meat of any
kind be allowed to be furnished to any of the Prisoners

Resolved also That in future the Allowance
of Leck Porrage< no role > and Water Gruel for the Prisoners for
Breakfast be totally discontinued except in the Case of
Sick and Weak prisoners under the Care and direction
