Resolved that the Steady and Active Conduct of Mr. Aris
on the Occasion meets with the Unanimous approbation
and merits the Thanks of this Court. andit appearing

It appearing the Court that the Indulgencies granted [..] to the Prisoners
since their removal to the New House of Correction [..]
by an increased allowance of provisions and may other Accomodations have
not had the desired effect but on the Contrary had tended
to induce them to make claims to which they had not the
least pretence and Complaints which were altogether
unfounded This Court is of opinion that it is necessary to
express in the strongest manner its disapprobation of such
Conduct and that those Prisoners who appeared to have been
most culpable in the late Disorderly Behaviour be particularly
distinguished for a time with a Severity of Treatment to
deter others from engaging in Conspiracies and resistance
to the established Rules of the Prison.

Resolved That Leonard White< no role > , John Jones< no role > , Thomas
Hardwick
< no role > , Michael Tanner< no role > ; John Greenhove< no role > and William
Coleman
< no role > who appear to the Court to have taken the most
active part in the late Disturbance be reduced to the regular
Prison Allowance made to the Prisoners previous to their
Removal to the New House of Correction and that
the remainder of the said Twenty seven persons be restricted
in their Allowance of provisions which is to be below the
Standard allowed the other Prisoners whose Conduct has been
more decent and Orderly.
