not been there for now more than Two Years excepting once very lately
That sometimes when he came he Examined the sick but he never
attended constantly sometimes he did not come once in a fortnight
sometimes not once in a Month that he used to send a Young man
who took down the names of such persons as were ill and afterwards a
third person brought medicines in a basket and directed to whom they
should be delivered, that Medicines were this delivered about Eight
or Ten times, That the three Persons did not attend afore times in
the whole that the Goal was not particularly unhealthy at the time
Dr. Smith attended That he never pointed out any regulations for the
better management of the Goal that Mr Glover attended the prisoners
during the time of Dr Smith attendance and at that time as well as
at every other time he took indefatigable pains about them That the prisoners
generally healthy sometimes for a whole month there will not be one
person sick that it is a great rarity if Two Persons in Confinement die
in a Year, That he is very clear that there was not Seventy three
persons or any thing like such a number sick during the time Dr
Smith attended the Prison.

Mr. George Garrett< no role > Keeper of Whitechapel Goal
informed your Committee that he had been Keeper of Whitechapel Goal
more than six Years and that he has constantly resided in the Goal since
his appointment That no medical person has constantly attended the
Goal within that time but that the Prison being situate nearly opposite
the London Hospital , when any of the Prisoners were sick he has
applied to the Medical Gentleman attending the Hospital, who have
very kindly given their assistance, That a person of the name of Smith
called at the Goal about Three Years ago, said when any of the
Prisoners were ill they might send to him and left his direction that
one of the Prisoners did send for the Doctor once but he believes he never
came to him that there are not more than fourteen Prisoners under
Confinement upon a Medicine and it is very seldorn indeed that any of
them are ill the time of there respective Imprisonments being do very
short

Your Committee further Report that it appear
to them from the above accounts and other testimony that the information
given to the Committee of the House of Commons by Mr Ridout and
the said William Smith< no role > in respect to Tothill fields Bridewell and Whitechapel
Goal is in many instances grossly untrue It is untrue that Dr Smith
attended the several Goals mentioned in his Report (being ten in number)
