again for Complaint That he discharged Fletcher the Turnkey
and

And it appears upon the information of several of His Majestys
Justices of the Peace
for this County who have visited the House of Correction
frequently since the last Session That the Gaol is now conducted by Mr
Harwood with great regularity and attention and that it is orderly perfectly
clean and healthy.
That having also taken into consideration the circumstances
referred at the last Session respecting the Prison Keepers detaining
Prisoners for fees The Committee found that several Persons have been
detained in the Prisons for their fees some for one day and others longer
and that one white detained in New Prison
remained in Irons
And it appearing to this Committee a great hardship that a Person
committed only on suspicion and who shall afterwards upon further
examination be discharged by the committing Justice should be liable
to the Payment of fees and more so to be detained after such discharge
for the same Resolved that it be recommended to the Court at the
next Sessions to appoint a Committee to revise the Tables of fees which
have been formed for and delivered to the Keeper of
New Prison
at
Clerkenwell
and the Governorer
of the House of Correction
there.
