The Statement of.
The Revd.. Mr.. Evans}

I have Exercised the Office of the Chaplain to the
House of Correction for 3. Years and one Quarter during
which time it has been my invariable Custom to enter a
short Minute in a Book Ordered by the Prison Committee
of the Conduct of the Prisoners during Divine Service in
the Chapel, I read Prayers and Preach a Sermon every
Sunday and on Wednesdays and Fridays Read Prayers
and frequently on those Days I deliver an exhortation
to the Prisoners respecting their Conduct, I have great
pleasure in saying that I have had no reason to make
any Complaint (a few Persons only excepted) many
come into the Prison totally ignorant of reading and
are persuaded by me to endeavour at improvement
the steadiest Person in the Yard who can Read is fixed
upon to assist their Endeavours and many before they are
liberated make Considerable progress I endeavour to
learn them the Church Catechism which is repeated
