Is it the practice for the Keeper of Newgate
at every Sessions to deliver to the Commrs.
of Gaol Delivery a Calender of Prisoners to
be tried and can any prisoner be tried
witht. being included in that Kalendar?
Yes such as are upon Recognizance
to appear and such as surrender during
the Sessions & many Committed during the
time of Sessions.
Can any other be tried but such as are
mentioned in the Calendar?
Some prisoners remain in the Gaol
for the County of Middlesex
by the Indulgence
of
of Justices or an Account of Sickness who are
not inserted in the Calendar because they are
not removed to Newgate
and so they do in the
Counters.
Are those prisoners removed to Newgate
to be
ready for their Trial?
Yes-No other Gaol besides Newgate
deliver a Kalendar at present but it formerly
appears they did in pursuance of an Act of
Parlt.-The Counters are prisons for Debt
-but Felons are Confined there and sent to
Newgate
in the same manner as from other
Gaols.
