Goal for near four years last past or for any other period within that space of time
and have been sick during their Confinement Your Committee are also of
Opinion that William Smith< no role > Doctor in Physic hath not been at the Expence
stated in his report in respect to the Prisoners who were sick during their
Confinement in the said Prisons of Tothill fields and Whitechapel within the
time mentioned in the Report made to the House of Commons

And before Your Committee conclude their Report they take
leave to observe that a Notwithstanding Dr. Smith in his Petition to the House
of Commons confines his attendances to the different Goals in London
Westminster and Southwark and ever the Report of the Committee of the
Commons to whom that Petition was referred enumerates the following Goals
as those only which the Dr. has attended vizt. Ludgate The Fleet , The Poutery
Compter, Bridewell and wood Street Compter Goals and Prisons within the
City of London , The Marshalsea, Kings Bench and Compter Prisons
within the Borough of Southwark Tothill fields Bridewell in the City of
Westminster and Whitechapel Goal in the County of Middlesex Yet the
House of Commons expressly vote Doctor Smith the Recompence above
mentioned for his attendance on sick Prisoners in the several Goals in
the County of Middlesex City of Westminster and borough of Southwark those
Goals which Dr. Smith affirms to have visited in the City of London are
equal in number to all the other Goals the Doctor asserts to have attended
in all the other Jurisdictions; and as five to one as to those in Middlesex
or Westminster and yet the City of London si not mentioned in the said
Vote in any respect whatsoever from which Circumstances as well as from
many other mentioned in the fore going part of this report your Committee
are of opinion that the House of Commons have been most shamefully
imposed upon both in respect to the number of Goals which the Dr: pretends
to have attended, the frequency of those attendances and the Expence
which it is asserted the Dr. hath been at in regard to sick Prisoners and
Your Committee are induced to be of this Opinion by a form belief that the house
of Commons would not otherwise at this time especially when their attention is
particularly placed upon national economy have precipitately voted away
so large a Sum of the Public money for the fact is that Dr Smith instead of
attending the several Goals in the County of Middlesex as stated in the vote
of the Commons hath only attended one Goal in the said County and that Goal
the most insignificant, [..] visited there but once, allows, there was only one sick
Prisoner, therein, and that this Expences in the Cure or for the relief of that prisoner
amounted to no more than seven Shillings and Six Pence

All which the Committee Submit Etc Etc
