[To prove the No. of Middlesex prisoners not
greater than heretofore]

Mr. Jefferson-I have the Custody of the Gaol
Delivery Books of Newgate on the Middlesex
side-I have computed the Number of
Middlesex Prisoners in Newgate from Decr.
1671 to Octr. 1672-Middlesex prisoners were
523.-From Decr. 1752 to Octr. 1753 Midd.
prisoners were 454 besides 226-The 226
Appears to be discharged by proclamation
did not take Notice of those discharged by
Proclamation

Proclamation till very lately-there might be
some discharged by proclamation in the earlier
periods-from Octr. 1712 to Septr. 1713 the No. of
Middlesex prisoners were 356-which was during
the Time of the War, therefore so fees.-From
April 1656 to February 1656 The No. of Middlesex
Prisoners were 736-From April to Febry
1657-732-From April 1658 to Febry foll.
(7 Sessions only) 637-From April 1659 to Febry
foll. 7 Sessions only 492.

[produced the Account]-I extracted it
from the Gaol delivery Books-it is a true
Extract I have compared it-In the Book of
the Gaol Delivery from 1656 to 1672 it appears
there were prisoners discharged by proclamation.
